He definitely looks better. How well does the head move around?

I agree When I saw that Chewie I thought I was missing a release. Loved it so much went on line and bought one just so I could copy it. It looks amazing.

I love it too! The coolest thing is I got to see this in the fodder box at my house! Thanks for stopping by guys it was great meeting you in person after talking for so long. Also great trading with you, it is always fun running through new fodder bins huh? You guys are welcome at Sprywalker Ranch anytime!

The head doesn't move around that well.  I guess that's the trade off for having the better head sculpt.  I did remove some of the restrictive areas to provide some movement.  I debated taking off everything below the chin and resculpting it all in green stuff so he would have no restictions at all, but I went for the quick fix so I could still get a custom posted on the blog this week.  It was nice that I was able to keep the Cantina theme going since Chewbacca has the New Hope hairstyle.  I would have invested more time on this figure but I had just gotten home from vacation and I had to spend any free time I had left unpacking and preparing to return to work.  I would guarantee that anyone who is willing to go that extra mile is sure to have one awesome Chhewbacca figure when all is said and done.

I sure do like Colin's work too. I don't know why that guy doesn't post here! I am sure he will love seeing this. Off to share.

Colin doesn't have a computer.  He just uploads whatever pics he takes of his figures from his phone to Facebook.

Thanks L.E.! We had a blast at your house.  We'll definitely make the effort to stop through whenever we are in NC.  The fodder trade was awesome!  What I really enjoyed the most was seeing all your art in person and getting to hold them in my own two hands.  Not even museums have that kind of accessability.

I really appreciated that you helped me figure out the proper mix ratios so I could start molding and casting some of my original pieces.  Your help molding my generic Weequay pirate head was priceless.  A head that took me a few hours to make now can be made every 5 minutes. I already put your lessons to work.  

I APOLOGIZE EVERYONE FOR THE BLURRY PICS, THE PHONE ON MY CAMERA DOESN'T HAVE A GOOD MACRO FEATURE. (I'LL TRY AND POST BETTER PICS SOON.  HOPEFULLY A POST WITH A FEW FINISHED PIRATES)







Hopefully these guys come out as good as the original:



Because of the help you provided, I now have ten pirates ready to be made into unique figures for Hondo's pirate gang.  I'm going to mold and cast some braids to help me accessorize these guys a bit on my next day off.

Looking good. Can't wait to see the finished products!

Those look like they are going to work out nicely Brian.

Thanks guys

As I said it was my pleasure and I love the pic of all those pirates.

I apologize to everyone for not sticking to making an action figure a week as of late, but after doing so for the last 3 years, Daddy needs a break.  That said I am still hard at work making customs.  I just haven't had any close to completion lately.  That is until today.  I actually only started her last night at Elias' request, but I was able to finish her up rather quickly.

P.S. - I just finished the sculpt and paintwork on my General Pong Krell and shipped it out to customizer Hyperdrive for his soft goods.  Check back soon to see one cool collaboration.
