I posted about this costume last year and the modifications I made to it: https://www.therpf.com/showthread.php?t=268805
I won't go over those mods again.
Since then I've been building Jawas and Ewoks so have gotten used to building small scaled life size pieces so decided it was time to tackle something bigger.
The costume has been sat in my wardrobe since October so I decided it was time to get it out and get it on display.
I built a 7ft PVC pipe mannequin frame reinforced with wood and a flexible wire frame for the arms and hands, padded the frame out and dressed it in the costume.
I sculpted some teeth for the upper part of the mouth and added some acrylic eyes. Finally gave it all a good brush.
Here's the end result a 7ft Chewbacca statue:

Wow, that's a Rubies? I have had one sitting in a box for a while that I haven't touched but I think I'll get working on it!
 
It's not quite a rubies I think a rubies is slightly better quality than this.
I was really pleased with how this came out considering how it looked when I opened the package last year.
