BlackBox 1/6 Guess Me Series - "REPLICANT KILLER"

[ShortRound]

Cool idea Zack Gonna try to sew a buckle on mine.

not sure why people are struggling with closing it. the buttons on the collar strap and top lapel are functional. and the silver clasp grabs onto the pocket for added support.

I’ve gotten it closed but honestly it’s way too much a hassle with the functional buttons.

Darkened the coat and trimmed the fur, a definite improvement, thanks shortround!
Next I'll do the pant mod and some weathering and hopefully someday repaint the head.
Once the Supermad figure arrives, I might try sewing the collar back on itself to look more movie accurate to stand up and fold over properly.

you can feed a wire through the collar. very easy to do it in between the collar edge and first stitch line to keep it contained.

Darkening the coat is the next thing on my list. Excited to see how it turns out.

D'oh! Of course use a wire, why would I sew it?
Thanks!

Interested to see pics of the process of the wire install if you can take some artoo!

Pretty simple. I used a 26 gauge wire and just slipped it through the edges of the collar and lapels. Gonna wanna use some small pliers.

Did you need to make an incision to insert it? Sorry it’s Monday and my brains not working right.

 

[ShortRound]

No just go through the edges of the lapels and collar. The wires thin enough to slip through the threads.

Ahh I gotcha. Thanks!

I realized last night I'm out of the wire I need, so I'll pick some up today and try to shoot some pics. The way I want to try (at least I thought about in my head) is to make a small opening using a sewing needle rather than making a slit, to feed the wire into.

Darkened the coat last night and man what a difference! Wifey is picking up some wire today so hopefully I’ll be able to finish with the coat mods soon. I ended up removing the magnets as they interfered with the clean look of the fur on the lapel.

 

[Artoo]

Quick and easy and looks so much better now. Slipped a needle in at the base of the collar at the fur line. Ran a small piece of 26 gauge wire into the opening and cut to fit. Bent wire over and viola!
