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...
... them. ... Yes, this is what I did. Although, the holes and plates you suggested are not necessary. In fact, they would inhibit your foot flexion, and...
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,...
... Glad to hear they're only 12" stilts. That will help, proportion- wise. But I'm curious. Most tall guys tend to be all legs, and already have a lack of...
Whats the best way to apply the hair to the mask and suit? I don't mean with glue, but rather whats the proper way to overlap the hair on both the mask and the...
... Start at the bottom of the suit and work your way up. I usually use clumps of hair between 8'-12" in length. I use just enough hair per clump so that it...
Last night we did a second attempt at my lifecast, and it worked. I also borrowed my friend's Behind the Magic CD-ROM and found some really great photos and...
That I couldn't tell you. I have an idea on how it couldbe built though: For each lip you have a wire that conforms to the shape of the mouth. It is attached...
... I did ask Mayhew this question during dinner one night, and he told me. But alas, I was pretty drunk, and I can't remember for the life of me. He's quite...
TK818 may have been in attendance. As far as I know he is the only other Wookiee in that part of the country. ... -- Matt Pfingsten "JediToren" E-Mail:...
I have been sculpting the mask over the last several days after my 20 lbs. of clay came from monster makers. Each day before I start a take three pictures and...
Okay, here are the pics of the sculpt. I still have to smooth the sculpt with some mineral spirits before casting but I wanted yalls feedback first. The teeth...
Okay, my dad has been here for the past few days and he has been helping me with my projects. We were looking at some pics of the real underskull for the...
for attachment purposes, I would suggest that you cast a piece of piano wire with an exposed loop where you want to attach it into the lips. You have the...
Well I took a short break to go see Freddy vs. Jason today. When I got home I found a new SW Insider in my mailbox with Stuart Freeborn's name on it! There was...
I have not given up. The mouth now opens and closes when I open and close my mouth. I'm seriously considering selling my Stormtrooper armor to put the cash...
... Cool. I would find a way to make a mould of your duct tape mask and cast it in something else. Duct tape will start to break down after a few months and...
My 2 cents here: Having punched a lot of hair and messed with this quite a bit, I recommend that you minimize the area that you punch in. Punching is really...
Thanks for the tips. I know wearign duct tape isn't going to be that thrilling of an experience as far as the heat goes but I can always take the mask off in a...
