Awesome job on everything bro, The Santa Chewbacca and Bo Shek are very cool. The chair is really well done and the winner's look very happy

Our other nephew and wife told us about 2 months ago that they are expecting now too . We found a old rocking chair at a thrift store for $5 that I am going to refinish for them

Finally finished the chair cheers

I completely disassembled it & stripped and sanded all the parts to bare wood . Glued it all back together and repaired damaged spots - mainly on the arms . It looked like someone had carved at them with a knife so I just reshaped them . The stained it and put a couple coats of polyurethane on it . Probably 20 hours of work into it What a Face

Julie and I rebuilt the cushion - all new padding , batting and upholstery .

Before / After :

Thanks again guys cheers

He was fun and is a figure I've been planning for awhile What a Face

I left his arms and legs unpainted because they were faded so bad I thought they suited the concept better . The hoses and backpack were just spare parts I had but not sure what figure line they came from . I think the part I used for the backpack might have been a mask from the Sectaurs line of figures scratch

I did the mohawk , wristbands and skull mask with milliput .

I have plans of making a vehicle for him too What a Face
