Sorry I have done nothing new on the figures. I have tried to make a cockit console and chairs so I dont screw up the size but need confirmation. And could someone confirm the MR cockpit floor is flat! no different levels. This can make a difference if I make c3-PO standing because in the movies he is standing on the lower 3rd floor of the set. If its flat he too will need to be seated.
Qrest Fourstar, you got the console and chairs kit, can you measure them for me please.
I did PM a while ago, but?
PS: What happend to the new run Chris, is it still on?
Thanks in advance

Sorry guys - I thought I'd emailed everyone who had expressed an interest.
tnaig001 is correct - the run didn't go ahead because of the condition of the molds.
However, if someone wants to contact Cyberman and work out a deal to pay for the Silicone to create new molds, there may be a possibility that he can do them. He did tell me that he'd be looking for a minimum order of 20 pilot sets to make it worth his while because there is a lot of "waste" that occurs due to airbubbles etc. For every 3 castings he did on the last run, he said that only 1 set was usable.
Cyberman is here on the forum so if anyone wants to speak with him about it directly, please just send him a PM.

Hi guys,
I made up a styrene and paper cockpit based on some measurments that I was given, and incorporating the sized Chris gave me. I have done a bit on each figure, but all still WIP. Have not even attempted Chewy. Cybermans Chewy, is outstanding and would be difficult to even come close to.
Anyway here are a few pics. I would still like some more measurments of the actual chairs and console if someone can figure it out. I would hate to get these done and find out they will not fit.
So C3-PO standing like in the stills or sitting???

Hay weezer when you finish your Chewie cant you just cast it and shrink it? LOL
Ok first run at chewie! Its only a few hours work, so be kind. I sculpted an underskull first and let it go hard, then put the hair on. I will spend what time I can on the main charactors, so imput would be good to help point out what would make these look better.
I am not a sculpter so all direction will be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi guys and thanks.
Umm, I am going to start a new thread in the general modeling section. Because although these are for a studio scale model, they were never part of an actual studio scale model. And this is also someone elses thread, which I sort of feel like I have hijacked. Hope no one minds.
