[Madrid Boba]

Nice job !!

One question.. how much does the hair cost? and how do you get the right color?


Thanks

Looking good. Have you come across Mark from MA, USA in your wookiee travels? He's our local Chewie and is one of the best I've seen so far...

Kenekalon hair is dirt cheap. You can make the whole suit for under $100.

Golly, you look like you could crush Vader, looking really good, mate.

G-Fett

Crush Vader? Ha, no way.

Because if Vader saw him coming he'd be running away too fast

Looking good so far

That chewie is great. Do you have a contact addy for him? I'd love to bonce some ideas off him

The hair is Kanekalon and sells for approx £4 a bag. The trousers took about 15 bags of brown #27 and about 3 bags of both dark brown #4 and grey #44.

Good Costume. I'm only 5' 2' maybe I should start making a tall person costume then I won't feel so short.

I love the work on your Chewie, here's a shot of me and Chewie ( a long time ago in a galaxy far far away... ) at Disney Land...
A little blury since it's a pic of a pic (scanner died)
He's a little for Chewie, probable his little brother since I'm only 5'11".

looking great. when it's all said and done, i would recommend weathering down the hair.

chewy always was a walking carpet, not really fluffy

 

[SlabFett]

Wow that really looks like you are off to a great start. I bet that isn't hot at all . I know our local chewie prefers the winter events.

Great job. I to am in the process of making a Chewbacca. I have been buying the supplies that I need and then I will get started. I will post pics also. I got a big box of Kanekalon hair in the mail the other day. My stilts should be here anyday and I just found a supplier for the mesh. I will order that on Friday. I can post the places that I am getting my supplies from if that's ok. I don't know if that's aloud, so I figuared I would ask first.

I cant wait to see this finished, I may give it a try putting on my list, #5 after kids fett wife fett, my Revan my R2, and now a Wookie, man this is addictive.

 

[Mr Fett]

Looks great so far.

Looking real good Jon!

 

[DeathtoToasters]

Great work.... what is the material you are using for the hair?

 

[FettSniper]
