Hi All

Well finally got a SW custom finished and this little bugger took me ages to do as I wanted life like looking fur on him instead of just a normal repaint.

Teebo is from Hasbro and has had a layer of static grass added to his body using woodglue, Once dried the static grass was then painted using Reaper miniature paints.
I let the fur dry for 2 hours then re-applied a lighter colour of grey to the fur then painted in the white stripes and the eyes, mouth, teeth using GW paints.
The head gear,spear, horn and knife sheath were painted using Reaper and GW paints and the horn and sheath were given leather straps from the spare parts box. Also I was able to keep all the articulation for the figure.

Commented more at FFURG, but again, very cool! And on such a small scale!

Wow, I never would have thought that a real fur effect would work, but you mastered it.  It looks just so damn real!  It honestly looks like he walked right out of the movie.  Easily one of the most impressive customs I've seen anyone make.

my oh my oh my, now that's impressive.  what is the "fur" made from.  I keep looking at him and i'm totally floored by this hemble i mean really why can't we get hasbro to do this good of a job, it might take the sting out of the $6.99 price tag if they were this good.

That is no doubt the best Ewok custom I have ever seen!  Very nice details and paint apps. on this one, hope to see some more.

I might actually get excited about buying an Ewok if Hasbro made them like this...

Hi Guys

Thanks for the great feedback I really appreciate them all, I'm doing Chewie at the moment so I hope he turns out just as well.

Smarty  - he is the 3-3/4 figure look forward to seeing how you go.

What a great idea to use that fake train grass for fur. I wonder how that technique would look on my snowbunny Padme. Very good idea and a great look ewok!

Hi Guys

TR1ER - Thanks for the kind words mate I really apprecaite it.

Master_Phruby - Cheers mate, And for the snobunny Padme instead of static grass you can buy a product from woodland scenics (FC144 - Bushes - Olive Green) all you would have to do is put some in a sieve and shake it onto a piece of paper and use that.

Once you have the amount you want glue the area you are goping to use and then dab the the bushes that are on teh paper to the glued area's wait to dry and then paint I think this would make a better looking fur for Pame's costume.

Hi All

Chewbacca and C-3PO are from Hasbro's SAGA figure's I added a layer of static grass to Chewie to give him life like looking fur like I did with Teebo. I then painted him various colours of brown's, tan's and black to get the right fur colour C-3PO was given a black wash and then a drybrush of two different golds to get the desired colour both figure's were painted with Reaper miniature's, Vallejo and GW paints. I want to do the OTC Chewie in fur but wanted to try it on an older figure first again I was able to keep all the articulation.

sorry pics lost thak god this was a crappy figure LOL

Looks more like Chewie with Wookie Skin Disease.  ;D

Jk, he looks good, but your ewok looks simply stunning.
