Excellent! Chewie is my kids' favorite. I hope someday to do Chewie and my wife do Leia

FYI - lmk what you find. Most Chewbacca's I've seen aren't that accurate.

I know their is one Chewbacca in Germany that is stellar crazy accurate.

Paul, that Chewbacca was made by someone on The Dented Helmet, his plans are to start a run. If I remember correctly his screen name is dougiefett or something like that

There are two now, actually. One that has been around for a while, all self sculpted, hand punched hair and the right height as well, amazing costume.

 

 

And now there's this new one, had his debut at Jedi Con this year. Done by Jörg aka. "Trap Joe" on the RPF, and it's a beauty! It wasn't Chewie at the con, but a "werewookiee", had to do with the con opening movie. Still a fabulous costume!

what i want to know is how they make the nose lol

[Laspector[TK]]

Some of the problems I have seen with Chewie outfits is that some people use drywall stilts. Yeas this makes them very tall but unless you add some kind of arm extensions it looks like their arms are cut off at the elbow. IE wookie length legs but human length arms. Very strange looking.

[unheard]

i also find the hair looks to long and to big

FYI for those interested in the suit that the guy on TDH was making a run on... he's more than exceeded the number he planned on making and is no longer taking orders. <_< silly me thought of cross dressing. lol.

The chewie above was made by my good friend Dougie fett it got its first test run at Invasion Dublin event run by the Emerald Garrison who are independent of the 501st but many members like myself are 501st cleared members I think Dougie fett still has a good few tweaks to make to the costume after getting it out for the first test run he found a few things that he wanted to change so thats what he's working on now as well as doing a few others for people elsewhere.

Sorry, where is the link in the RPF? My kids want me to do this costume, but will spot an imperfect Wookie a mile away. Cost no object, which is the best Wookie?

Dougie's Chewie is now up for sale on the bay just incase anyone is intrested item number is 280498613802

[Daetrin[Admin]]

Err...when I said price was no object, I think there would be an object-tion if I spent that much =:-0

 

Not saying it's a fair price, but I'd need to sell some other costume first.

[TK3118[501st]]
