1/6 Hot Toys - MMS 262 - Star Wars Episode IV - 1/6th scale Chewbacca Collectible Figure

Yes, there are some amazing pics in this thread of several people doing just that. Chewie looks better as an "ESB" or "RotJ" version.

Ok I'll look through. I'd like the wind blown Hoth ESB look.

I know, but in my defense, self restraint has never been one of my top qualities...

Really like that last pic.

Got my Han/Chewie 2 pack in today from BBTS. Of course, my Chewie had a super dark face so I spent the last hour fixing it. Also, the upper lip had an ugly gap so I fixed it with some apoxie sculpt. Here's what I got now:

Much more satisfied now!

Remember when that really talented sculpter dude posted his re-worked Chewy? Nailed it.

Anyone have some tips or tricks to lighten this bad boys hair color. Something an amateur can handle [emoji12]

I think a few people have used watered down acrylic paint, using several coats and brushing it out to avoid clumpiness. I wish there was an easy way to dye it....

I used Pastels


you can apply them slowly and layer for layer using a normal Modeling Paintbrush, I used a Fixative from MIG between layers to keep it from smudging.


Final Result is not so bad I think


I also repainted the Eyes, I would not recommend that if you are not a pretty skilled Modeler/Painter, you might Fup a expensive collectible otherwise

That looks amazing, captcox! Do the pastels or fixative stiffen the fur at all?

 

[captcox]

Not at all. take it easy with the Pastels and go slow, if you put on to much simply brush it off or Blow it away.

Oh forgot, I used a biggish Modeling Paintbrush to brush the fur in to a position that looks ok...its the best method I found not to damage the Figure and its pretty effective to sorta form the fur.

Thank you! I'm gonna hunt some of that down then. Your Chewbacca looks perfect.

Thanks for the response! Appreciate the feedback! Are you using a mixture of colors, or all the ones in your image? I think I'm going to have to try this out on a cheap teddy bear or something. Don't want to stuff up.

Wow, Chewy looks fantastic!

 

[captcox]

I mixed them, and I used the colors seen in that PanPastel pic. You can also simply use "Art" Pastels/Chalk they are cheaper and you can normally buy them separately in bigger Art material Stores without spending money on a big set.

Chewy does look fantastic! Did you put any "product" in his hair to help style it? Also, looks like you lighten the color around the face and darkened the mustache and around the eyes. And painted the lips...

Stunning!

 

[bebe13junior]

Hard to tell what is the out of the box version and which is not...
I would just keep it out of the box...no mods...so it's hard to know what it will look like. I wish there was a separate mods thread gaha
