Let's see your Chewbacca Display! Pics please and...

[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. :thumbsup
Tom

Is the IC head full sized, or 3/4 scale?

If it's undersized, it may look a little odd.

PS - here's a useful link I found:

IC head is definitely undersized.

I forget who but someone on the board has a KILLER Chewie outfit.

Yes the Wook is who you seek.....When Mark Hammil thinks you're Peter Mayhew in a LFL costume, as he has experienced, you know you're wearing the shizzle :love

I'd PM him for some pointers. :thumbsup

here is mine..I have added about another 20 pieces or so since last year..




OOOOOOOps wait..You mean a costume display...sorry

I would love a bandoleer and a full costume..maybe...

I've seen a few threads trying to get the bandolier off the ground, but nothing ever happens. I thought Russep(sp?) was gonna make some, but that was long ago. Same goes for MR and the bowcaster. I wish someone gave Chewee the attention it deserves. Enough lightsabers.

Here is a Return of the Jedi style Chewbacca I made:

Too cool for words Richard.

 

[MattMunson]

Dude, that's awesome. Great work.

 

[houdiniguy]

Richard,
Somply beautiful. PLEASE share with us...
(If you have pics too)

How did you do the mannequin, how tall is it, who or how did you
make the bandolier? (how much to make me one?

Tell me more and did you make the costume? or is that the rubies?

Thanks.....
I AM inspired.

Tom,

I forgot to mention the height of this figure is right around 7'6" tall give or take an inch or 2

I made the entire figure including the bandolier, ammo boxes and leather bag. The ammo boxes are made of resin. I made a mold of them and just cast them, my first mold and castings job

I used fur from National Fiber Institute to cover a standard mannequin. What I had to do was just cut the torso, arms and legs. I cut the arms at the elbow joint and the legs at the thighs. The head is custom made as well.

I am off to work but I will PM you Tom about the bandolier

 

[Too Much Garlic]

Chewie was always nicely combed...

And rileyreplicas: yours is just too cool. :thumbsup
