Big improvement- did you iron the clothes???
Fantastic work. Like night and day.
I found Oddjob the easiest to pull into shape.
The jacket sits nicely with gentle pulling in the shoulders. The tie was slid up without issue. The trousers, I thought were not bad at all, and generally keep their shape.
When reviewing the pic, I see that the trousers ride up a bit after I put him on the stand, but I’m ok with that.
Overall, I have been very impressed with Oddjob.

The futzing master at work! What did you do Wor Gar? May have to steal a few pointers.

Here on the Perimeter
WG, your OJ looks absolutely dope. Great job and an inspiration for the rest of us.
Can someone explain what the deal is with the shirt on Connery?
In the pic of the figure you can see stitching at the base of the neck lower down from the shirt collar.
Meanwhile in the real world if you look at the actual shirt you can see some stitching at the base of the neck BUT the collar completely covers it.
Therefore, what’s the deal here? Has the shirt been manufactured wrongly on the figure OR does the collar need turning down further? If it needs turning down further surely it becomes too big and the neck would look too long?
I’m very confused as somethings not right surely?

Nice work Wor-Gar
Just like their Dr who line...the scale of the clothing on these figures are 'hit and miss'. Unfortunately Bond is the poorest looking of the three...

1:6 scale clothing is using 1:1 scale fabrics so you have to get thinner fabrics but they are still 1:1 scale fabrics. So it’s a scale issue trying to compare minor details like stitching to real world stuff. Even so the collar is too high and needs more folding over to sit correctly.
So you’re saying that if your Connery’s shirt looks like the one in the photo it should be folded down further to cover that neck stitching?
If that’s correct won’t it make the neck look horribly long?
You might be able to pull the shirt up a bit to counteract that. Most of the collars tend to want to sink down on my figures, so have to be constantly pulled up higher.

No you would first fold up the shirt collar up move the tie into the correct position and fold over the collar more so the collar is slightly bigger. As Davejames has said you can pull it up once the collar is correct. But it don’t make the neck look long once done correctly.
Ok great thanks for clarifying. Do you have any close up pics of exactly how it should look/sit to go by?
Some members worked with the suit as best they could a few pages back. I’d go back and look for those.
You could also reference the prototype pictures (not s resl picifr from the film) though I found that I could not get the clothes to look anything like the prototype pictures myself

But if the head's too big a longer neck would make it look better?
