How tall was chebacca? Pics?? Using a rubies for display

[houdiniguy]

Hello I just got in trade a Rubies "Supreme" Chewbacca.
I plan to add it to my collection on a stretched mannequin.

Where the torso and the legs meet, just add a plastic garbage can or ? and screw, nail whatever as it
is not seen.

Does any one have pics of theirs done up?
The costume does not look bad, may I ask who sells or makes bandolier boxes with belt better than these supplied?

I also have an original illusives chewbacca head and am considering adding that head
instead of the costume supplied one..

I welcome ALL thoughts and YOUR pics.

Thanks Guys.
Tom

No ideas on the mannequin but I would like to see pics of your costume.

Wasn't Peter Mayhew 7 foot 3 inches or something like that... pretty tall, imo.

I would add something a little more solid than cans to the extended areas, something leight-weight, but strong and sturdy. Maybe someone with more mannequin modding experience can chime in on this.

Interested in seeing this done.

You could add (shaped) MDF spacers to the midriff and knee joint sections of the mannequin to add extra height.

Use either industrial strength duck tape or fiberglass the sections together for a strong bond.

Cool, though... you seriously need to comb that guy, as he looks terribly fluffy...

Very nice.
