Awesome job on Nikto. His headgear looks great.

I remember when I did mine, that headgear was a pain in the arse. Good stuff.

 

[Hewer]

Awesome work very cool

 

[TaliBane]

Thanks so much.

I went from "how in the world am I going to make this one" to "oops, I messed up some things", to "at least I have this guy in my collection."

Can you post the recipe for the Nikto outfit? Looks awesome!

I am happy to help. 

I *think* this is accurate:

• Hot Toys Thor Shoes/boots
• Hot Toy Body
• Hot Toys neck
• Inner Adapter Neck Joint from OneSixthKit (I usually hollow out all my resin heads and use the same plug / socket. This allows me to swap heads around from character to character.)
• Various leather / skiver bits cut, painted, shaped – boot covers, belts, chest armor, head gear, etc.
• Russian Quilted Pants – modified / sewn / dyed
• BBK Cowboy Josh Brolin as Jonah Hex Pants – modified / sewn / dyed
• Cyan Vest – custom created / sewn
• Elastic bead cord - 2 mm
• White window blinds string (She won't notice.)
• Shoulder pads – custom created / sewn
• Tiny 1/16 inch eyelets – hobby store / 1/16 Tiny Eyelets - Single Colors - Round Eyelets
• Small sizes/colors “nail heads”
• Medicom 1/6 Sleepy Hollow Ichabod crane shirt - if I recall correctly
• Hot Toys Scar / Celtic Predator hands
• Hot Toys Predator hand pegs
• Hot Toys Murphy hand cuff pouches
• strings
• Head gear –
• skiver
• elastic cord 1 mm
• Faux Fake Fur Sherminky – I think
• Apoxie Sculpt
• Nail heads
• thin wrinkled cloth
• Resin Nikto head and Skiff guard weapon by Master Enaud

Thanks again.

That Nikto is out of this world. Loved that figure as a child and I still have it. He really pops.

Thanks for posting this.

Are the yellow leg/pant stripes cut strips or elastic? I really like how they turned out.

 

[LOPIE]

Amazing work thanks for posting

 

[The_Darkness_Predator]

I used yellow ribbon from JoAnn's Fabrics that I painted a different yellowish color. I used "Liquid Stitch" to glue it on.

Have fun.

 

[The_Darkness_Predator]

Now for the really difficult painting...

 

[Spudtrooper]

Oh man he looks awesome!
I dread the eyes on that project. I'm I'm doing three of them...

 

[The_Darkness_Predator]

Thank you.
Three of them! That is going to be awesome. I have been seeing those three in my research. You are a rockstar.

I even looked for some taxidermy eyes that might work, but I really couldn't find anything.

 

[The_Darkness_Predator]

 

[Spudtrooper]

That is so freaking sweet!

 

[Chakaman]

He is awesome dude. I hope mine turns out that well. Thanks for all the pics.

 

[The_Darkness_Predator]

Thank you. ��

Well,
This is how it turned out...

 

[Spudtrooper]

Damn dude! That looks freaking amazing. Now you just have to poke out one of his eyes and give him a patch. Haha Excellent job man.

 

[The_Darkness_Predator]

LOL!
I have a second one so maybe that one will get the patch.

 

[Spudtrooper]

Yeah no since in wasting that awesome paint job by covering one of them up.

 

[Chakaman]

Man, that looks great. Nice job.
