JT, First off, thanks for creating this group. You've made some great contributions to the sharing of wookiee costuming information. And so, I think it's...
Well, here's where I am at: The stilts are done. I got them back in late October. I started taking them to work (A Movie Gallery video store in Nashville, TN)...
JT, Thanks for the update. Sounds like it's goin' real well, in spite of some setbacks along the way. But they're always to be expected on a project done for...
... Yeup. Better to take my time and do it right rather than rush it and do it twice. ... Unforunately I live over here in Nashville, TN, so I can't afford the...
I should note that Yahoo! groups gives us 30 MB of space for photos. I have set the photo albums so that any subscriber can add pics. Feel free to create an...
... Lookin' good. How large were your lifts. As I recall from past discussions you are 6'5". Knowing that Peter Mayhew is 7'4" it appears as if you are at...
Thanks. And you eye-balled it pretty well: my lifts are 5 1/2", so that makes me about 6'10 1/2". To be honest, I think Mayhew's shrunk, since the OT. He...
No, not THAT backside, but I will be working on the shirt part of my Chewie costume very soon, and I need some decent reference photos of Chewie's back to see...
I received the new brochure in the mail for the upcoming Comic-Con (update 3), and was surprised and thrilled (I must admit) to see my picture, as Chewie of...
Congrats man! I see that Dan Hyatt from Kentucky has created an album in the Members Costumes album on the YahoO! group photos section, but no pics have been ...
Enter your vote today! A new poll has been created for the wookiee group: What did/are you using for your Wookiee hair? o Synthetic Hair/Fur from National...

There's a question on the RPF about the correct dimensions of the bandolier. I don't know the answer, so I thought maybe one of you that did, would respond to...
Yeah. I did and then realized that all of my pics are on my oldf computer in storage... :( ... Members ... been ... Con ... my ... are ... it. ... Wookiee...
These past two weeks I was visiting my folks and my dad and I installed my Hyperdyne Wookiee sound board. It's in a TV-remote project case from radio shack and...
... under the ... with ... JT, Congrats on your sound FX system! It's always great when something you've been preparing, for a long time, not just meets your ...
Why not use or create your own platform shoes as an alternative to the drywall stilts? I'm thinking maybe you could get a bunch of rubber soles, glue them ...
Welcome to the list. I know that is what TheWook did. He is 6'5" and used some lifts, I'm not sure how big they were though. IMHO stilts are still the best way...
Great! :) I'm 6'4". Peter told me I'd make a great Vader but I'm more interested in a Wookie outfit. Here is a picture of me next to him. I'm only standing a...
I was wondering, once I collect enough hair, how do I go about placing it on the suit? What do you guys use for the suit 'base' anyway? Can anyone post pics of...
That is a very bizarre photo. I too am 6'4" and have met Peter several times. He stands 7'3" - 7'4". He should appear close to a foot taller when standing next...
... On the Chewie Costuming Resources page that I put up, I described my hair glueing technique as follows: "When you glue the hair down, put a small piece of...
I was wondering what exactly the hair color is that is used and where I can get them locally, the hair extention things im guessing right? I saw some at...
I have lots of info on the hair including the different sources you can use at the Chewie Costuming Resources page. All that I have learned thus far is on that...

It would be sweet if we could find someone willing to do relatively low priced vacformed 'skulls' for under the fur. Just an idea and some wishful thinking. ...
... Since I am 6'4" and I am using very short 12" stilts, I don't think the proportion issue will be much of a problem. Most of the other stilted Wookiees are...
... I'm glad that there isn't. One of the reasons that I chose Chewbacca was because not many people were doing it. I like the rare costumes and I think...
Well, I'm working with what little I have to work with. It doesn't look like much at the moment, but neither did Guntahkela's, though his had teeth and stuff,...
