Chewbacca

Mesh undersuit purchased from Jo Ann's
Fabrics. Fully latchhooked throughout.

Mask purchased from Evil Chimp (Dave
Cullen). I ripped out all the hair and
rehaired the entire mask because I
didnt
like how it was when I got it. Hair on
the
mask face is punched with a felting
needle
(38 and 36). I fitted a half shell helmet
on
the back of the skull to give it a good
full
skull look.

Toes and feet purchased from Ryan
Ricks
and then fitted to 10 inch high
alumnium
(welded) lifts I modeled after Nick
Phillips'
feet build. I used aluminum because I'm
huge and needed more support.

Hands are black resin gloves. The resin
is
soft to the touch though. The back of
the
hands/gloves is a cotton elastic material
that I latchhooked with hair to make the
hands more bushy.

Bandolier by Mel Mattson. I re-screwed
all
the boxes so they stay straight and
don't
move.

In costume I am 7 foot 6 inches around
400 lbs. I've lost about 35 lbs. and
planning
on losing another 30+ to get a slimmer
look by end of summer.
