I just wanted to introduce myself. I've lurked here for a while, and have finally got off my duff and registered!

I am a HUGE Star Wars fan, since it came out in '77. I was 6 and it blew my little kid mind! Fast forward 30 years and here I am, still marveling at all these films and figures.
I have a TON of the Hasbro 12 inch figures, and wasn't happy with them, so I started to cut them up and re-work them. I see a LOT of talent here on these boards, so I guess I wasn't the only one! Of course I have started getting the Sideshow figures, and have most of the 'Exclusive' versions. I haven't started cutting these up, since I have so many non-finished figures from the Hasbro line to complete first! Maybe someday....
If you guys want to see some of my work, click here: https://www.snowtroopers.ca/collections/brinn71.html

I guess I'll see you all around. I'm looking forward to the new ANH releases!

Welcome fellow Canuck--- any chance you've got a second furry Chewie lying about? That's awesome work.

:chew
 
Thanks for the kind words everyone! Its good to be here!
Sorry DarthNeil, no extras here. I'm hoping Sideshow does one up to go along with the holo table!

Welcome man! I had actually come across your web page not too long ago. Your Chewie is off the hook! Welcome aboard!!:chew
 
WOW! Thanks guys! I loved making it, but with everything else I do, I want to tweak it now. I actually made it years ago. I now have a 10 month old, so my figure-making time is all but gone for now.
I have more pics of other figures I have done. I'll see if I can dig them up.

Thanks again!

Found some pics. I have more figures, but have never taken pics of them. Here are a few:

Nice Christopher Reeve and Zod... I've got a 9 month old as well (going on to ten in a couple of weeks)--- kind of cuts into your "collecting/custamizing" time doesn't it? But completely in a good way--- if there was something that was going to take you away from your collection there's nothing more important than fatherhood... well maybe the Superbowl :lol

I have 16 month old and I know what you mean, I can't spend enough time with her.


Hey Brinn, your stuff is really good, lovin' that Zod, please post more Chewie pics when you have a chance.
 
Thanks again guys! Yes, fatherhood is the best distraction! I can take a break from customs for now.
The ZOD and Supes were for my Brother-in-law for Christmas a few years ago, the WW was for my wife, and the Rebel Trooper was for my friend's birthday. Sad thing is, I have two Rebel Troops for myself sitting half finished on the work bench waiting.
I do want to take more pics of Chewie, as well as pics of my Boba, At-St driver etc. I may even post a pic of my work bench! Now THAT pic is SCARY! :rolleyes:

Love a CHEWIE tutorial in the custom section... Step by step with pics--- that'd rock for all of us wandering through life Chewieless...

:chew No Chewie, stop dancing... we're sad.
 
Brinn, I love your Chewie!!

:chew

Though I am not looking forward to being force-fed excuses why SSC's eventual Chewie likely won't be realistically furry like that. :cool:

that chewie is nice! i personally think we will never see a chewie from SS due to complications (or thats what they want us to belive!)
