The hardcore Star Wars fan and master of bringing his action figures and toy space ships from the franchise to life has been busy since we published his last batch of shots in the lead up to the Rogue One: A Star Wars Story premiere on December 16, 2016. He now has nearly 31,000 followers on his @x_captain_kaos_x Instagram account, and even more exciting, Rohde, 49, has launched his own website, Captain Kaos Online (captainkaosonline.com), with a gallery of his work, regular blogs about his craft, and features about other incredible toy photographers he knows and admires. The site also has a wide selection of prints for sale.
