Honestly Chewie would be that hard for TLG! Brown legs, brown torso, brown legs
and hands, painted face with maybe a pieces of brown female hair on top! And to
make taller then the average minifig do the samething as I did with Vader! Put
some brown 1x1 square plates on his feet!
With Vader you use black 1x1 plates on the feet!
It really does works, it gives Vader that "bigger' look like in the movies!
So he looks like he's wearing Herman Munsters shoes.
