CHEWIE's customs updated 06.22.2012

[CHEWIE]

For one of the few times, I glued the heads in place because their neck pegs were tiny.  Not something I usually do, but on these I took a shortcut.

The second head is a BBI figure head, but from the Police Figure line they had come out 2-3 years ago. 

 

[Nirvana]

I used the two BBi heads in my new clone legion- they really look cool with clone armor on.

[Gregorbian]

Cool, thanks for the info guys.  I really wish Star Wars figures would have more uniform neck-pegs, it would make things so much easier 

[Nirvana]

I also wish the neck post plastic would all be as soft as the necks on the ATTE Gunner's. So I wouldn't have to use garden shears to lop off their necks...

Haha, that's a good point.  It would be nice if all figures used a standard ball-jointed neck peg like the AT-TE Tank Gunner

[CHEWIE]

Just an update on the Rykrof Enloe chapter update - sorry it's not up yet.  It's taking me much longer than usual on this chapter.  I will get it up sometime this week for sure - still have to take a few more pics and edit them... but it's about 75% done, and I think it's looking pretty good so far.

 

[Nirvana]

Cool, take your time. I'll have to check down in SC, can't wait.

[CHEWIE]

Thanks Darth Nirvana.  I'm thinking, I could make it a two part chapter and show the first part tonight... not sure if that's the best thing to do though.  It will read better as one story I think.

 

[Nirvana]

Well, that's what I did with mine and I think if you did yours the same way more people would view it. For example, if I read Part 1, I would want to know what would happen. I always read them, I'm just speaking hypothetically. Oh, and about the decals, I don't need 'em, I'm in the process of making my own symbol.

[CHEWIE]

Thanks Nirvana.  I'll see how progress goes on it tonight.  At the very least, I'll have a new custom or two to show.

 

[Nirvana]

Cool. Any chance of Part 1 being up tonight?

[CHEWIE]

Well I decided to leave it as one story, just because part 2 would have been too short.  No photonovel update tonight, but I will try and get a custom or two up.

 

[CHEWIE]

No photonovel tonight, so hopefully the next best thing!  Two customs -

Heldarr the Terrorist -



helmet - SAGA Captain Typho
head - EPI Captain Panaka
torso - OTC Cloud Car Pilot
arms - SAGA Captain Antilles
gloves - SAGA Endor Rebel
legs - ROTS Clone Pilot
shins/boots - ROTS Ki Adi Mundi

And here is one more... just another take on what he might have looked like -

DARTH PLAGEUIS THE WISE



hood - ROTS Palpatine
head - Superhero Showdown Dr. Doom
body - SAGA Bib Fortuna
hands - ROTS Commander Gree

nice custom's CHEWIE.

-i really like the terroist's paint job. are you sure those are rots ki-adi shin/boots, they really look like sasee tiin?

-that is a cool take on darth plaeguis and so much different than the soft old man look you usually see! he reminds me off the king of jerusilum in the movie kingdom of heaven, the one that was a lepper. i really like it! i think a different color other than the green from bib would have been cool, mabey a purple or burgundy, just a thought.

great customs!

[Phrubruh]

I love that use of the Dr. Doom mask for the Darth Plageuis. It makes him look really evil. Very good idea.
