CHEWIE's Customs Updated 02.09.2010

[CHEWIE34]

Thanks guys.   

Really finding time for customizing is getting harder to come by these days, so I'm having fewer updates.  Here's all I've managed to make the past month -

Rakeel - Informant for the Jedi.  Look for him to appear in a photonovel.

Here's another preview to Chapter 27, whioh is taking me forever to make.




And finally, a couple shots of my collection... I need to take a few more pics from differnet angles as this isn't all of it.





 

[cuyvaldar]

Nice collection

[Lt. Starfox]

nice stuff, glad we got to take a little peek into your collection, but we must see more

[Phenix]

Mad skillz my brother, MAD!!!
Love the pics of all your figs and dioramas too!
Got some close ups?

[CHEWIE34]

Thanks guys.  No close ups yet, but when I finally get around to working on some more stuff for my next PN, I'll snap a few more pics.

 

[hemble]

I the informant very simple but has that sneaky no trusting feel to him and Prince Xizor is another nice one I think this is a better look for him IMO.

And your collection is damn impressive to say the least.

Whoa, I'm digging that death star you've got there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[CHEWIE34]

Whoa, I'm digging that death star you've got there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks, my friend Owen D. from www.owenscustoms.com made it for me a couple years ago.  It cost me an arm and a leg, but it was well worth it for sure.

Here's a full image of it -



 

[CHEWIE34]

Here's a few more customs that I finished up recently -
 

Black Sun Informant - This is a fan-fic Quarren merchant who is an informant for Black Sun and was made for the current Yakfinities. I didn't do much painting on this one because I really liked the look of the striped robe. 



head - Legacy Quarren Warrior
hands - Legacy Quarren Warrior

Alyssa Enloe - Another outfit for Rykrof's wife - very simple custom that didn't require any painting.



head - GI JOE Bombstrike

Kala Mly Shundi - Another version of the Jedi friend of Rykrof Enloe.  The base color is still red like the original figure, but there's actually 4 coats of paint and weathering to bring out more detail. 

Kala has fallen to the Dark Side in the series and will appear like this at some point.



head - SAGA Jempa
hood - Evolutions Darth Maul/POTC Pablo Jill mesh
hands - not sure

[hemble]

The death star by owen is very impressive, he always does great details to his work.

I like how you've worked the Indy parts into this last lot of figures the indy figures work very well for Sw figures.

[CHEWIE34]

Wow, thanks for the Custom Corner spotlight guys! 

Unfortunately my hosting service is down for the moment... anyways, I'm working on some more new customs that I'll probably have completed this week.

 

[CHEWIE34]

Alrighty, here's another batch of stuff -

Quinlan Vos - For a fellow forum member, Famine.  I've been telling him for ages that I'd make him a Vos custom, and finally got off my tail and did it.  Mainly I gave him much needed knee/ankle articulation and a rough beard, with a new nicks and cuts.  I hope he is ok with how it turned out.

arms - Comic Pack Mara Jade
gloves - Comic Pack Mara Jade

Diorama Background Structures/Junk - To try and add some more "realism" for dioramas and photonovel background pieces, I've been looking at taking different pieces of Star Wars toys and repainting them.  The first two pics are pieces from the "Ultimate Lightsaber" kit in the Legacy line that is currently out - I used various pieces from it and repainted them.  I could see them on top of buildings or something, maybe exhaust pipes and whatnot.

The bottom two pics are just repainted pieces from a few "junk vehicles" that I had saved for this sort of thing. 

The clone is just there for a sense of scale.










Civilian Speeder - This is actually a repaint/rework of an old commission I got from Owen D. several years ago.  I lent it out last year and it got damaged in shipping, so it's been in a box for a while until I figured out what to do with it. 

So, rather than turn it into pure "junk" for a background piece, I figured it was still salvageable and I repainted it, removed the broken windshield, added a couple greeblies and added in a fabric backing to the back seating area.





Quarren Separatists - My submissions into a recent Yakfinities, Organic Separatists.  Figured if I was going to make one, might as well make two for a bit of army building.  They were in the most recent PN chapter.



head - Legacy Quarren Soldier
rest - TAC Elis Helrot

arms - Legacy Evolutions Luke Skywalker
gloves - OTC Cloud Car Pilot
tunic - ROTS Agen Kolar
thighs - ROTS Agen Kolar
shins - VSTC Bespin Luke Skywalker



Darth Sidious - Finally a Darth Sidious custom of mine that I like!  I've tried different looks in the past, and never felt satisified.  I think I finally am... not film accurate, but this is definitely the look I wanted to translate into a figure.



head - Gentle Giant Bust Up Darth Sidious

torso - ROTS Prisoner Palpatine
robe - ROTS Prisoner Palpatine
legs - ROTS Prisoner Palpatine

head - SAGA2 Scorch
chest armor - SAGA2 Death Star Gunner
rest - TAC Commander Neyo



334th Siege Battalion Troops - Basic troopers in Rykrof's tactical assault force, hand picked to lead an assault on the Badoo Corba base on Dantooine.



head - ROTS Clone Trooper
rest - Legacy BARC Trooper


And, here's a group shot -




Not the best looking custom group of clones you'll see around, but I hope they'll be good enough of a group for the next chapter... I could have easily just used non-custom clones for it, but I figured this would make them look more like a mission specific squad, which we seem to see a lot of in ROTS.



Ok, that's it for now - hope you fellows like them.

 

[Lt. Starfox]

a lot of red x's for me Justin, but the ones I saw look top notch like always....the Darth Sidious, looks alot like the one from the Aluminum Falcon skit ...lol

[Darth Doomy-Doom]

Yup... a lot of red x's, but what shows up looks great.  The descriptions of what I can't see are tantalizing too...

[Major fett]

While I always like to see Jedi customs I have to say that Sidious turned out Very Nice!

[CHEWIE34]

Damn red x boxes... I think the pics are all showing now.  Sorry.

 

[jkno]

That civilian speeder looks very promising!

[Lt. Starfox]

looks a lot better Justin!  love the Siege Batallion

[Darth Doomy-Doom]

Yep, it's all good.  I really like Nolan, NC-43, and the speeder.

[hemble]

Well mate got to hand it to you these last lot of figures and vehicles are exceptional work.

Ron

[CHEWIE34]

Still customizing, just not at my old pace... here's a few more to share:

Justin Cook - This is a self custom!  These were always fun in the old Casting Calls at http://www.ffurg.com and when I saw them doing another one recently, I had to join in the fun... this is just my take on myself if I was in the Star Wars universe... always carry a good blaster at your side!  I actually ended up liking this a lot for a look for Freelo in my PN series maybe, so at some point I could get use out of this for the PN series as well for him... could probably just do a head and hand swap and it would work ok for that too?



head - Evolutions Secret Apprentice
torso - Legacy Trinto Duaba
scarf - Comic Pack Hett
arms - TAC Tycho

Lekog Mir - Saurin citizen of Braatos IV, will appear in Chapter 29 of the Rykrof Enloe series.  Before anyone says it, I know the hands may not be right for a Saurin... maybe the feet aren't either.  I had this extra head though and liked this look, so I went with it.

Not a big update by any means, the next few things I plan on working on are diorama pieces for my next photonovel chapter.

 

[Lt. Starfox]

Grunda looks like a mean S.O.B.


Now that Justin figure, I just don't know what to think about that one    very cool work Chewie

[cuyvaldar]

Liking those figs Justin!!!

[hangarbay94]

Chewie, your stuff is just awesome, I wish I had your talent...

I noticed a diorama of a destroyer bridge in your collection images, it looked awesome. Any chance of some more close up shots, I'd love to see it in more detail. Did you make it yourself?

Jules

[Darth Doomy-Doom]

Nice work.  I really like using Dark Empire Palpatine's armor for the Sith warrior...I had a similar idea myself.  My favorite, though, is Syloth Tars.  Nice design, fantastic paint apps...kudos to you, good sir.

[VF]

I have to say I havn't see your work in awhile but what I've see so far here recently in the last 6 months is really awesome. Great job on these customs but the troopers are my favorite so far but the rest are really cool. I just have this thing for troopers thats why I tend to lean towards those moreso.
