New pics ! 1:3 scale Chewbacca project !!!

[Madrid Boba]

Hello all

As a complement to Rob´s (Judgedredd) Stormtrooper and Sandtroopers (by the way, ...for sale in kit form!! :love ) in 1 to 3 scale, i am building a Chewbacca figure in the same scale.

Here you can see a pic of the Stormtrooper with a print in the same scale of the wookie.

And here are the pics of the starting point: The mask.!!

For the figure i will use real hair (not sculpted) as well as crystal eyes.... :love

Well, how do you like it so far? :confused


Information, pics, comments will be more than welcome.


Thanks for looking :thumbsup

I am using original sculpey Original Sculpey® | Polyform Products Company . It seems to be very soft. Some people told me that is better super sculpey, although it could be more expensive. :confused

Looking great Alfredo! You've nailed the look of the nostrils perfectly. Personally I'd go for the mouth closed look. I'll definitely keep checking in on this. I'm working on a full scale Chewie costume now.

I still do not know if i will make it open or closed :confused ....i think that the mold will have it open, and i will always have the chance to close it with the resin copies. I think that if it comes out OK, i will start a run and sell them... we will see

I think you need to make him taller in comparison to the TK. TKs would generally be around the 6' Mark, Chewie is just short of 8', doesn't look to scale! Id say he needs to be 30" to 32".

Re: 1:3 scale Chewbacca project !!!

Thanks Dougie !! :thumbsup

Please look at the pics.

The model will be 76/77 cm tall, which means that the lifesize is around 228-230 cm. In the picture that i printed, the wookie is exactly 76 cm. You could easily change or adjust a little bit the height with the hair... The first pic of my first post was taken in a hurry because i was nervous about starting the project :lol

Please look at this pic...Harrison Ford is taller than Mark Hamill, and he is not even straight in the pic...

I will keep on posting how it goes... :love

Ahh, i almost forgot...please notice the Stormtrooper stand..it is very thick.... (but i took that into consideration in the recent pics)

Thanks again

Alfredo

Hello all,

I have a question..

It looks to me as if they used (mainly) 3 types of hair color. And also, it seems ike if the one used on the hair, it is more red than the rest... Am I right?

Thanks

Alfredo

Re: 1:3 scale Chewbacca project !!!

Thanks for the answer !! What i meant by red, is red hair . Not 100% that color, but just a little bit.

(wikipedia)



Woman with red hair




"Red hair occurs naturally on approximately 1–2% of the human population.[1][2] It occurs more frequently (2–6%) in people of northern or western European ancestry, and less frequently in other populations. Red hair appears in people with two copies of a recessive gene on chromosome 16 which causes a mutation in the MC1R protein."
