Great job everyone on making the best of a tough situation.

Well, got a lot done today. Milled down the entire stock to thin it up a bit. Milled the bolt slot in, trigger guard and more. Then lots of sanding! Took a break to bend up aluminum to create the cover for the string catch. http://i752.photobucket.com/albums/xx165/jweger77/Chewbacca%20Mask%20Build/5...

I've been working on this major part of my Chewie build. I'm looking to gauge interest on a potential run of these. The stock of the bow will be accurately reproduced using both photos of Horton Safari Crossbow and their actual measurements. The stocks would be cast in resin reinforced with an inter...

They were very cool and more than made up for the small room by giving us the Rainman suite for the game.

This will be an open run for MWG members...so whenever you'd like a set let me know. No shipping for members a...

A Chewie suit is 3 wig workers, several cases of beer, and Clone Wars Marathon, you know Saturday! I'll actually probably have more time for large scale fur/wig commissions once school is out in May, and once I clear the shoulders for Darth Krayt, I got a tiny apartment that I work out of so doesn'...

Patrick FTW! Congrats Patrick! Welcome to the winning.....eh....side with the coolest costumes!

The only good RFT, is a dead one! Nice pics!

Welcome Thunder! We've got a handful of taller TKs here. Fx can look pretty good on a 6'4 frame. TK3446 here is right about that height and looks good in FX. Whether you stay with that or go clone is up to you. Either way, welcome and fire away with the questions.
