Hasbro Jawa Re-work

[Solo_bones]

Hey Folks,

This was my first attempt at customizing. I have been watching the boards for some ideas and came up with a couple on my own, but this is my first custom figure. I have only been a collector for less than 5 months.

My initial rework included making a new Jawa blaster (although i still need to finalize it)....but I was waiting to find some leather so I could make some straps and ammo pouches.

The last fix I did was to use this bandage tape to round out his eyes and get rid of that shiny plastic Alien look. It colored up perfect match with sharpie pen, and dried instantly.

When I complete that, I noticed i could see through his hood and I never could get the right shape of the rim, so I taped some bendable wire inside the hood and noticed when I colored black it solved the see through hood problem, so I just lined the entire inside of the hood and colored it black.

I just need two more tweaks and it's complete.

Bones..

I finally finalized the blaster, by purchasing a pouch and drilling into my plaster.

Ha! Yep, I read a lot of your posts to get a lot of ideas...but made some tweaks on my own....but your work was definitely influential.

Thanks man!

Hey, Kash!! Thanks man. It's a start, still not happy with the hood...but, looking forward to seeing more of your work man.

Hope all is well!

Those Jawas look really good, nice job! Welcome to the boards, looking forward to seeing more of your stuff.

Thanks Gents, I realize I need to work on that hood.....blah.

Anyway, i'm still working on this moisture vaporator....almost done. Right now i am working on lighting this thing. I wanted lights and the top of the chillers, just as they were in ANH.

I didn't make it completely movie accurate, just used parts that i could find at the hardware store.

Hey T_D_P, thanks!! I have a lot to do on it still, but it's not terrible considering I just used what I could find..I made a few pieces. By Friday it should light up.

Nice work on your Jawa & Vaporator dude - well done!

I recently opened up the Hasbro Jawa that I had and placed him on a Sideshow (sandy) display base and have him displayed between two SS Sandtroopers.

I must say that I was so impressed that I ordered two more Jawas from Ebay!

It does look to scale and rather nice as is, but I'll be following the leads here and weathering, repainting and updating/replacing the bandoleers, if possible.

Coincidentally I just finished modding my Jawa. I added articulation by using SS prometheus trooper foot pegs, repainted the gun and pouches, plus added extra pouches and belts.

finished mod:

added articulation:

easily the most fun I've had modding a figure.

 

[Solo_bones]

Oh, man....NICE WORK! I hadn't seen this posting. Lost track of it.

Anyway, nice custom work on that Jawa.

 

[MidnightClad]

Very nice work on the jawa actually makes it great to display with a tusken or two.

The only thing I would add is cut the wrists and put a screw in there with a plastic o-ring and you can get the hand to spin around quite nicely.

That's what I did on this dudes robo arm on the right:







Or who knows? Maybe on that rig, by Cavlcade, the arms and hands spin on the feet joints??

I love the custom work on the holster and ammo packs....wish he would reveal some details.

Hey thanks for the comments, just noticed them.

I used spare ammo packs from the Rescue Cap America figure which I dry brushed and made a holster from leather scraps. Also cut off the Hasbro ammo packs repainted them and glued them to leather straps. Will post some close ups of the figure some time soon.

I didn't bother with articulation on the wrists as I didn't feel it needed it, the arms rotate on the elbow joints enough to achieve good poses.
