ahhhhh!!! one of the coolest figures, in my opinion, and a you did a great job. Agree that the head is a big wobbly but overall i think you did one heck of a job!

i finally got around to re-working the head of the tusken raider. the original was a bit too bulky. so what i did was cut around the face area and glued to a blank hasbro snowtrooper head. same with the head spikes. then added some cloth strips. i didn't use as much glue this time as to leave the look & feel of the cloth. then just added a greenish pastel powder. i think it looks a bit better. i also fixed the wire to the respirator/moisture collector (???) thing.

That does look better. Nice work, barryo! I'll pm you my shipping address so you can send him to me.

 

[Dorgmal Snow]

ERRR no Cocoboloboy, he is sending it to me!!! PLease

What are the pouches???, love it

 

[barryo]

thanks guys.
im not real sure of the pouches dorgmal, i order so much from different websites its hard to keep up with. i think they came from monkey depot. i was looking for something cloth & searched for "cloth pouches" or "ammo pouches" & ran across what i thought would work. i should really start writing down this stuff or keep my invoice of parts in a folder & what it's for.

Wonderful work!!!!

 

[Dorgmal Snow]

LOL I know what you mean .
I had a look on ebay but could not find anything...

I will keep looking

Nice Tusken Barryo! Makes me want to do one... but I'm so far behind on all my projects... by the time I'm finished with the "Clone phase," you guys will have moved past the "Tusken phase" into the "Chewbacca Phase" (already starting, I see)... what'll be after that?

Perhaps some sort of "Sy Snootles phase"

things move so fast around here it's hard to catch up...

 

[barryo]

thanks tdp......

well i cant leave well enough alone i suppose. after looking at the pictures something still just wasnt right. in person it wasnt as prominent but the pics showed a lack of fill around some parts of the head region.......sooooooooooo..........another amendment to the tusken.

i think it has a fuller/rounder look that is a little more accurate. i just got another hasbro tusker in the mail today. tusken raiders are a relatively easy bash & if anyone is interested i'll take more pics of the process in making one.

Barryo, I think you've really nailed the tusken now, it looks awesome. I'm only starting out and I was thinkin' where better to start than a tusken raider, I'd love to see pics of the process.

 

[Darth_IMPoor]

That's a pretty sweet lineup! Got any others?

And count me in for some WIP pics. I'd love to see them.

as far as star wars bash/customs go, thats about it, the tusken, the snowtrooper, & the biker scout............although i have converted & weathered some marmit sandtroopers, tie pilot, & at-at driver & some ssc storm troopers.

thanks man, it really wasnt that hard to do either.
