Chakaman's customs, mods and repaints

[Tinman2000]

Thanks for the info, I'm still working to mod that wrestler figure and realized I needed to make the arms a bit longer...so I'm taking them apart and re-working them. I think your blaster was created from the Dragon model of the Lee-Enfield rifle, which is the gun I just received. I'll update my thread when I have something worth showing.

I haven't had much time for customs lately. I did manage to get on the list for a Jnix custom Luke sculpt. I had a few minutes tonight, so I decided to put together my kitbash Luke body in prep for the sculpts arrival.

HT top and pants, SSC shoes and wraps. I prefer the wraps over the HT sculpted ones. Wrapping the legs wasn't too difficult.


I'm also in the process of cleaning up/out my hobby room. I have a lot of extra 1/6th stuff/parts, that I might be selling or trading in the near future.









Once I get done sorting everything out, whatever I decide I don't need or have time for I will be putting up for grabs to anyone here in the community.

I love your organization with your bins set up! I just recently organized all my paints and supplies. I haven't had much figure time lately other then looking at the greatness on these forums. I love seeing what you have on your work bench!

 

[Spudtrooper]

Freaking love your set up dude. The ultimate work bench. Looking forward to seeing what you might offload.

I cant to wait to see what you up load as well. I like the idea about luke I was thinking about the same thing on the outfit. I hated the idea about going the rout on sculpting the boots instead of what sideshow did years earlier

Thanks guys.

Thanks Robert.

I finally had some free time tonight so I decided to start painting up my Hoth Rebel Trooper backpack. This is just a repainted Endor pack with the hoses adjusted and the antannae added.



I soon realized that since it has been so long since I've worked on anything, all of my paint brushes were s***. I can't do any of the fine details with what I got. That figures right? Oh well. It looks like a trip to the hobby store is in my future.

 

[Chakaman]

I fashioned a new eyepatch and touched up the paintwork on my Prune Face. Will do some more once I have new brushes.

I didn't want to pay $230 shipped from Sideshow for the Imperial AT-AT Driver. I didn't want to have to replace the body and wasn't really needing all the extras that came with it. Thanks to Toy Anxiety, here is my $130 AT-AT Driver.



I did the same thing with the Imperial TIE pilot. I am very pleased.

 

[Rene2D2]

awesome job on that at-at driver! when you put up your extras for sale, will you let us know on here?

 

[hemble]

Glad to see you guys jumping in on the Sideshow ATAT - it looks quite nice but I'm also pretty worried with the HT Snowie AND Snowie Commander (who on earth saw that one coming?) that there will be a HT ATAT driver quite soon. The commander only appears with the driver. I really wish companies would be more transparent about their plans - it gets very frustrating with prices so sky-high.

 

[Spudtrooper]

Hold up, Snowie Commander? What'd I miss?

 

[Pixelpiper]

that there will be a HT ATAT driver quite soon.

Do you use a clock bound to Jupiter time? "I'll be down in a minute!" It's been over 4 years since SSC announced the Snowie and over 3 since they shipped it. No announcement from HT yet for theirs. The prototypes shown at SDCC and other cons do look like they used the SSC as a template (it wouldn't even surprise me if they had SSC parts as placeholders)

This guy is waiting for the HT <fill in your preferred figure name>
