Ok here it is, me and matt(some may know him as shyriiwook) are soon to begin construction on our wookies and we are not sure about a bowcaster because of the...
Hey this is my first post and during my time with this group I have been a spectator. All of the information that the wookie group has provider definitely...
Shawn, congrats on your experience hanging out with Peter Mayhew at the Fair. Sounds like you had a blast! That's so cool. How did you get that job?! The...
Thanks Wookiecall, What a wookie rookie mistake on the photos. No problem I will put all the state fair pictures that I have in the member's folder under ...
Great pics, and cool stories to go with them. And your costume looks terrific! How tall are you in costume? How tall naturally? Did you use the stilt method...
Hi gang. It's been a few days since the event and after reading Shawn's post... I figured I'd throw in a few other details. You should all know the temprature...
Hello, My name is Anna. My husband have been working on several different projects(R2, Han in Carbo, Lifesize Vader) And we heard about this site. We want to...
Hi Anna, Welcome to our site! Click on Links, then click on Chewie Costuming Resources. There you will find a ton of information. Study it, and then hit us...
Thanks for the complements. It defiantly was a very fun day. To answer your questions I am roughly around 7'6" in costume and I am naturally 6'7". I don't use...
Attention fellow Wookies, I just posted photos that I got from Peter and Angie Mayhew. You can find them in the photo albums>Reference>photos from peter...
Is there a tutorial for the Mask? Thanks, Anna ... ______________________________________________________ Click here to donate to the Hurricane Katrina relief...
As of this moment, no one has correctly identified the correct crossbow. It isn't the Barnett Commando Crossbow. That xbow is close but too large and the grips...
K9, Thanks for your reply, but somethin' ain't addin' up here. If you're 6'7" naturally, then how on earth do you gain around 11" in costume, without stilts...
Did you guys have a good time at DragonCon? I saw some pics of the three of you together--man, that must've been a helluva sight for the fans! Three lifesize...
It was awesome! We had a great time. I lost all but one of my toe-nails, though that is an easy and cheap fix. I had some severe chaffing from stilts (I drew...
Okay, so in case anyone doesn't yet know, both Steve and Tom have created Chewie masks with moving mouths. Grant? Did you get your mouth moving as well? So...
Yes, inquiring minds want to know! ... Okay, so in case anyone doesn't yet know, both Steve and Tom have created Chewie masks with moving mouths. Grant? Did...
A few years back I had HyperDyne Labs build me a custom Wookiee sound effects board. I made a case for it and attached it and a speaker to an elastic strapping...
I'm in the 501st and had a chance to have dinner with Peter. He said that there were magnets in the wookie mouth that repelled each other forcing the mouth...
Damn, that is genius now that I think about it. Magnets would work very well. How did he keep the mouth closed? In some of the scenes Peter actually spoke...
OK... Having heard the last round of ubsurdity related to the matter (magnets? c'mon)... I have decided to relent (some) and provide what insights I have...
Wow, thanks for all the info, Tom. I will hold off adding it to the Wookiee page until you have your tut. After looking at some of those recent pics I...
Thanks Matt, To answer your question... Without having seen the original, Id' say that it's STILL a 90% chance of being foam latex. The unpainted foam has a...
Hi guys, Just to end the speculation, the original Chewie masks were definately foam latex, no question about that . I got to handle one a few years back on...
... This was one of the points that Lou Elsey made to both Grant and myself while we were talking to her at Celebration III about improving our masks. If you...
Look at this picture I found http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/custom/photos/chi-pod- pix,1,3508151.photogallery?coll=chi-homepagenews-utl&index= 11 ...
