Computerfly's Captain America Comiquette - Round 3

[budafett]

I love what you have done! It looks great but the only thing I like better on the PF is the belt...

It would be nice if Sideshow took notes on these and realized that the cloth is ruining near perfect sculpts.

Not to take anything away from Compfly's awesome work, but Sideshow creates statues without cloth/metal/etc. for those who prefer that with their Comiquettes. There is obviously a market for mixed media statues, and Sideshow is catering to that market with the PFs. I personally don't mind the cloth outfits (though I could go either way with the 1/4 scale statues), and obviously lots of others don't mind either.

Smart man right there.

I love the work you did on the spidy pf and the work you did on cap is top class but for some reason i prefer the cap before your alterations.

 

[ComputerFly]

No worries! There are actually more people on this particular board, I would venture, that prefer 'cloth'. I'm not here trying to convert anyone, I'm just showing what can be done with what's been given to us. My only opinion regarding this is that it can be a shame to hide all the work underneath, with what ends up looking like, to me, a decent cosplayer outfit. The material never matches what these guys wear in comics. Cap wouldn't be wearing a t-shirt outfit, and that is exactly what the material he's in looks like. Those who love the look, more power to you. I don't care for it, and there are plenty of folks who agree as well. We all like what we like, and no amount of debate is really going to change anyone's opinion.

LOL... Nash, where'd it go??

 

[ComputerFly]

I saw he was the most recent poster, but I missed it too.

Outstanding work, congrats. I really like the metallic finish you did on the blue scales. Very nice indeed!

Thanks for being sport man. I almost hesitated in posting in your thread as I didnt wanna take anything away from your skills. You are HIGHLY talented to being able to customize that piece like that. In fact, I'm floored by the skills and I would say that for those who are not into pf, your piece would be the captain america grail.

I like your customs, the details to the musculature really shows up without the cloth covering it up and this suits the Marvel line much more than other licenses.
Oh and death to 1/5 scale!

 

[Colossus]

The thing is, the Cap PF is actually one of the better done PFs, but the cloth still looks a little silly in spots, and the bigger problem (IMO), is that it hides the brilliance of the sculptor's work underneath.

I am really into the New look of Capt EX-PF, Outstanding work my Friend, Very Outstanding

 

[Hew]

There always has to be one.

I like the PF better post transformation--so there's two. Great work nonetheless. I wouldn't mind having either in my collection.

We can't all be comiquette cheerleaders.

well put man. while i like the original, since that's what i have. i've heard that in hand these are truely amazing.
if i had the space i think i'd almost want one of each of these converted and not converted. they'd make one hell of a display.

i'd make that 2.5 with me, but the classic spidey really looks great and i'd have to say it looks better than the original red/blue PF version.
just something about the color matching of the black and red just makes that statue pop, even in the PF version.

Don't have to be. There are plenty of us around. At least enough to support these AWESOME conversions.

I should have put we can't all troll PF threads --but seriously it was a brave and awesome conversion.

 

[averone]

Well done my man!
I congratulate you on having the guts to convert one of these to your liking!

I have to say I am perfectly happy with my PF EX and would never do anything to change it.
Its just a classic look and hes leg muscles at least to me look much bigger. I also love the old school belt.

I do like your metallic look and your fresh paint up.
I guess to each his own. The PF still rocks in my book, but big congrats on going after your dreams!

Is this a PF thread? In fact (if my memory is correct), I have only posted in about 2 or 3 PF threads. One was the Wolverine PF(don't care for it/don't hate it) and Gambit (LOVE IT/great looking piece).

Almost all of my posts are in comiquette threads.

Yes....this is a GREAT conversion by a very talented man.
