[Blitzway] The Silence of the Lambs: Hannibal Lecter

[DoggieDoc]

Hi guys, I was considering buying a mask but would be grateful if anyone could let me know what the following is https://imgur.com/a/SEBNLsD

It looks like the bars have a step on them, but every image I can find shows the bars with the same circumference all the way up. Is this an optical illusion, is there a reference image that shows this, or something else? Thanks for the clarification [edit] is it just the paint app?

It's glue.

I just got in this version...the head sculpt is superb and captures the solemn creepy expression Hopkins wore throughout the movie...

Paint apps too are excellent with no shine or orangey pigmentation that i've seen on others..

I'll need to warm the grip hand up a little for the baton to fit properly...

It looks great, a great shot of the matrix69, I hope my Lecter will look like yours.

It seems like they do read or listen to the complaints and they made improvements to the newer batch.. Good move.

I touched up the pin that he holds between his fingers with some silver paint..

I know it's only a small thing but this should have already been done on a 200+ figure...as it's pivotal to the escape scene...

Love the fully workable metal cuffs...

Bloody hell! I thought that was a casting error...now I will paint mine silver as well. Great photos Matrix!

BW really dropped the ball with the height of the chair. It's a real head scratcher as to why they couldn't measure up the it's scale with the base body of the figure before going into production...damn lazy!!...and again shouldn't be the case on a 200+ figure.

I'll be definitely going along the lines of Jase25 fantastic modifications to lower it....

Decided to tackle the chair and lower it...

First i dismantled it...the top and under part of the seat popped off easier than i thought with the help of a flat headed screwdriver..

I wanted to be able and still see the metal bar/rod part of the chair....so i decided to shorten the under plug/joint piece by about 1/4 of an inch...

View attachment 445134View attachment 445135


Then i came up with the idea of using part of an xacto knife handle for the main bar/rod...the diameter was perfect.

So i cut the plastic bar off the under plug/joint and then drilled a hole to fit the new xacto piece..

Back together...the gap around the plug dosen't bother me as it can't be seen when the chair is viewed at normal angles..

Pretty happy to how it looks now..

Very nice work!

 

[ebor]

That's the ticket Matrix! Thank you for showing how you accomplished this! (something that Blitzway SHOULD have done...!)

 

[matrix69]

The new bar/joint piece now allows for some pivot...which helps when getting his feet flat on the floor..

It's also accurate to how the chair was in the movie.

Thanks guys...it might help some who are thinking of/or going to modify it And again the chair comes apart easy enough as there's no glue..

Here's my Silence of the Lambs set up at the moment. I'm thinking about building his cell for the Blue Jumpsuit version.

I made a diorama to echo the jail scene...and to display all the extras...

I also printed off the drawing of Clarice that was shown with the proto...but disappointingly excluded from the final release...i'm guessing it was something to do with copyright.

Awesome work matrix.

I was wondering can't one simply cut out a small section of the chair post and glue it back?

You could if you didn’t want it to turn anymore, but if you go that route I’d “pin” it for strength and to keep it straight.
