My Lifesize Jawa Build - 1st Attempt

[azheat]

Finished up the blaster.

And here are some final shots with blaster and droid caller in hand. I also did a slight modification to the hood to make it look a bit smaller.

And here is his final display location in my man cave:

There are a few things I could tweak on him, like fraying the cuffs, but I am fine with how this turned out for now. This took me about 5 days to complete. It's not my ideal version, but I think he looks great.

After tallying the receipts, here's about what I spent:

Pipe and Connectors - $8.00
Head - $10.00
Eye Capsules - $1.00
LEDs and Switch - $8.00
Black Duck Tape - $2.00
Head Fabric - $2.00
Robe Fabric - $18.00
Bandoliers / Dye - $37.00
Blaster - $20.00 (which I already had on hand)
Blaster PVC Parts - $19.00
Gloves - $1.00
Hand Hardware - $4.00
For Sale Sign - $3.00
Batting - $5.00
Black Felt - $2.00
Droid Caller - $7.00
Spray Paints - $8.00

I already had the enamel and acrylic paints on hand, so I won't count those. So excluding my time, unless I missed something, this sucker cost me around $155.00!

I think it was a good bargain.

Beatiful work! I love all you've done here!

The last thing I wanted to do on this was add sound. I purchased a cheap recordable puck from Build-A-Bear, $8.00, added the Jawa sound, and placed it under the hood. This is just temporary until I can find another solution that sounds better, but won't break the bank. Sound quality isn't the greatest.

Here's a video if you're interested.
