Otter wax is what I used on mine before weathering it with acrylic paint. It helps with the laminated look.

Thought you canceled yours Mike?

Curious to see it with the wax. Didn't think it would work since this isnt real leather. :/

Check the interest threads. Second run ordering is up and deadline is April 27th. Get in there.

I know you can wax cotton, the material on this coat is a little weird though.

It's acrylic paint that's been heavily diluted. I'm sure if I went a little thicker with the paint, I wouldn't have needed to add so many coats. I did about 5-6 coats.

Thanks guys!

Yup it’s sunthetic fiber which means it’s pretty much impossible to manipulate in any way. Several layers of wax helps thicken it up and gives it a bit of a sheen and mailable texture

How about real oil (I've tried it once, it stinks and remains oily but looks good) or acrylic varnish (tried it too, worked great but made the fabric stiff)?

 

[Raymond F.]

Yes that’s why I used something made for fabric. Oil I wouldn’t want it would leave residue on all my figures.

The floor polish stuff old man hobbiests use, or mod podge, or clear coat acrylic etc will all stiffin it.

No way around it’s just the Wrong material so there’s not much you can do.

But remember that the original coat was not leather. It resembles oilskin. Probably cotton with wax or oil. In the world of Blade Runner no one would ever use leather - there basically aren’t any animals left and it would be unethical wearing animal products.

 

[Raymond F.]

yes this is what I thought to use wax for

They made the coat out of laminated cotton. which gives it that rubberish look.

Toy Anxiety just broke this figure down, If anyone is looking to pick up an extra coat

 

[slikkerias]

Thinking I might just ‘laminate’ the coat with a thin layer of clear acrylic medium. It will darken the color some and get that laminated look.

 

[**16k**]

That was my intention too. I'll try on a piece of fabric first and if it's not too stiff when dry, I'll go that way.

Or try with acrylic vanish. Should get less stiff.

it will stiffen the fabric though. diluted black is still better for wet look.

future floor care may work.

good thing about gloss is not just darkening the fabric but also give it a wet glossy look. not sure how well it will hold though.

What body are you guys using?

 

[zackg__]

I’m using stock for now

 

[snoop101]

What body is best suited for the Jnix sculpt? They're all pretty expensive on eBay so I wanted to be sure before pulling the trigger. Thanks guys.
