Hey gang, a member at the RPF contacted me to share one of his projects. I thought I'd share his link over here.
Alfredo's done a great job! Enjoy.

Re: Weezer's 1/6 Chewbacca Project
I got inspired by all the "Wookiees in progress". So I'm tossing up a quick update.
This has been a glob of sculpey on the end of a stick the entire summer. I managed to find some time today to work on roughing out the facial features. It's still a rough WIP, but I thought I'd share to see if I'm on the right track. I'm going for the somber expression from ANH.
By the way great work on the other Chewbacca threads!

Re: Weezer's 1/6 Chewbacca Project
Hi ho guys! I've had a bit of down time, so I thought I'd work on this project again (although it seem a bit redundant considering Hot Toys is offering a 1:6 Chewbacca). Then again I'm not sure I want to spend HT's prices on Chewie???
Anyway, This is where it's at so far. Head, Body, Feet are as good as I can get them. Next step is to hit it with some paint and fur'em. Which I have no idea how I'm going to do it. When I started I thought I had a good plan, now I'm not sure what I'm going to do. I also would like some advice as to how you guys are placing the hair around the eyes, mouth and nose so neatly (without globing glue everywhere) and how to style the face hair to stay in place? If anyone could help I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks for looking.

You have to admire someone taking on such a challenge and it looks like you're off to a great start. Awesome job!

Thanks guys.
The only way I'll consider buying the HotToys Chewbacca is if my custom gets #*%? up. I'd rather have a Stormtrooper more, and the way these prices are going, my collecting funds are tight. I'm holding off from buying anything till SSC puts 3PO up for pre-order. I already have R2 on order.
The body was an old ultimate solider body that I cut up and added spacers to the void (basically a threaded rod glued in place and then covered with JB quick plastic putty). The torso and neck are styrene disks glue together and sanded to shape. I had to make upper arm swivels from scratch. They're made from 5/8" PVC tubing and random styrene items. The feet and head are sculpted from extremely old polymer clay (from my college days) and baked with the low setting on my heat gun. The figure's somewhat balanced, but the joints are a tad loose... because of this it has fallen to the floor twice, but no damage has been done (hopefully there won't be a third time).
Next thing I'd like to do is paint it up. What's the best primer to use on these figures? Some of the parts are made of a rubbery plastic.
Thanks again for checking in.
