Bruce Willis/ Mclain die hard customs help

[thainer]

I think it is a great paintjob. The problem with that head is that it just isn't the greatest likeness. I have that head and have what I think is a decent paint job on it but I have other sculpts (I am kind of a Bruce Willis nut) that I think capture his likeness better. Another thing that gets me is that for a Die Hard 1 or 2 figure he doesn't have enough hair. If you look at Feng's Die Harder figure and at the first two movies again you see the Bruce's toupee was huge in those films and he didn't get that haircut til the third movie.

This is true.

He wore a toupee?? His hair is very dark in the first two films, almost black even and I tried to do that in my paint-job with some black-wash which you probably cant see in the pics.

Watch any of the last episodes of Moonlighting. Bruce was very clearly losing his hair even that early in his career. No way did he have a Die Hard amount of hair then. Excellent series. You should watch it anyway.

Here are some better and closer pics of my Bruce. I've added some 5 o'clock shadow slightly:

Teabelly,
Are you aware that Project ARE makes badge holders on chains. I just contacted them about getting one for myself and it is still possible. Here is the link https://www.project-are.com/neckbadge.html

that head is looking real good Nicky. just need to sort out that right eyebrow, it's just a wee bit thicker than the left. Although in hand it probably doesn't notice as much as in a photo four times the size.

 

[nicky]

Cheers, yeah the head odes look better in hand. Big-ass pics like that will show the imperfections you normally wouldnt notice.

Anyone know where I can get a tan coloured shoulder holster for my McClane? Cant find the right one anywhere. Nor his blue shirt or cop badge.

I use these for my McClane customs. Good Stuff To Go. They don't take Paypal though.

Thanks for the heads up on that, I also found what might make a good DH2 shirt too:

I havent had a reply yet, has anyone dealt with these guys? Is anyone home? I pretty much found everything I need to make my DH2 McClane and just need to hear back from them to see if they have the stuff I want.

 

[DRESSUOUT]

I would also like to make one... but I would really go with DH2... but I think I would like the clean version...

But where the heck can I get that sweater

Ebay, I've seen a few today under toys and hobbies when searching for 1/6.

Thanks.

 

[nicky]

My stuff from Project ARE has been ordered but my not arrive till after May 20th cos they are closed for a week or so during that time for some odd reason. Hopefully I'll get it before then.

I just need shoes and watch and waepons for my McClane then I'm ready to . Anyone know where I can get a decent MP5 with scope and no flashlight?

 

[DRESSUOUT]

yeah that lonnie bruce isnt to my liking really, altho i am a picky guy aah. !

but yeah the bruce was 1 of those regularly seen on ebay, but honestly mate. the ebay pics dnt do it justice, in hand i think its looks awsome.

I agree thats a good sculpt, they mouth and chin look alot better than mcfarlane's or neca's.
I just bought mine a while ago now I'm stoked about it, thanks for the pics.

 

[teabelly83]
