1/6 customizing supplies & bits

[ChibiSchmoo]

I emailed them about the wig sizes. FYI: looks like we'd want "Size 4" for 1/6 scale figures. I'll probably give them a try.

Please add wigs- https://www.facetsbymarcia.com/wigshop45.htm

This is awesome.

My biggest need is finding buttons. I have a few tailors I am talking to, but I need somewhere I can find buttons at. Let me check Tinyzippers

What size buttons are you looking for?

Nothing in particular. I just need a good website where I can find all types of buttons and zippers to get custom tailored suits for some figures i am interested in bashing.

Looking into getting some high-end suits made for certain figures I want to bash. (Paulie from Sopranos)

I think the buttons need to be custom made I recall this coming up in one katos threads or something!

Cool thread.

I'm interested to know where I can buy equipment to sow 1/6 clothing. A tailor told me special equipment is needed to sew at that scale. I forgot to ask him where I can buy such equipment.

Is there any place that makes differing sizes of ball joints?

Yeah, Kato made them with a plastic rod and a drill.

That is not accurate... a basic sewing machine will get the job done. It just requires a LOT more precision.

I have been wondering this as of late too. I searched and wasn't able to find much...
