FENG's Studio: The Professional - Leon

[wofford29]

I can't find a white or black shirt that lay around the neck the same way as Reno's does in the film, so I was thinking about getting this from Triad and cutting it with just enough to tuck into the pants. I'm not sure if this is really shiny though. I'll have to ask around.

Great news about the pants!!

I like the shirts personally, I know it's a bit inacurate in the fact that they are mock turtlenecks but it hides the neck joint so I prefer it.

So now we just need better glasses, beanie, shoes an possibly a few guns? Anyone have any ideas for those?

I've bought some aircrews boots, they look pretty good.

I'm just going to display him without the hat and glasses to show off fengs sculpt, and just used the m9 from the HT secret service fig, got rid of the lanyard and attached the compensator to it with some gorilla glue.

 

[wofford29]

He doesn't wear boots in the film though does he? I thought he wore some loafer or rockport looking shoes?

 

[MateriaHunter]

I couldn't get a proper look at them to be honest, but these cover up to the trousers and were the nearest I could find.

Leon wears brown leather loafers with laces, and thick soles.

This is correct. The shoes I use were bought from a private deal but I did see them on ebay once.

EDIT :

I actually just found them. Cheapish as well , I think there close enough personally. They look like the same ones I'm using anyway.

I don't know if you'd want to do this but the prison outfit has a great shirt with it that looks very similar.

Dr.Jedi pointed these new line miniature shoes out. I have no idea if they'll work with a truetype or not he said he'd report back once he got them in.

Do you have this shirt? My major concern with the shirt is that it doesn't come up tight around the neck.

I was looking at pictures of Mindbook's custom. Does anyone know if he made his clothes or bought them? USCMHicks didn't you get some stuff from him a while back?

I haven't bought the set yet but I plan to soon. I'll let you know how it fits.

Yep , a hat , plant , coat , holster and a few other bits.
They were parts he was going to use for another figure though and not the ones on his. I have changed the coat for the heroic one since I prefer it too. I would think most of the clothing n Mindbooks figure is custom. He seems to be able to do anything and make it amazing every time.

To the person who said the heroic pants fit on a truetype body , did yours not have trouble fastening with the velcro ?. Mine wont go even close to closing and even if they could the velcro would have way to much pressure to stay shut.

That's me. And nope, fits like a glove. I'll post pictures when I get home.

AGREED. He is a genius. Just wish he took commissions.

Guys here are the shoes I got for Leon. They are the best looking and most accurate I could find.

They are actually the nicest 6th scale shoes Ive ever seen.

Of course I had to mod them into more of the loafer style, I just sliced it with an x acto knife, the bottom shows the part I cut off... it was easy took half an hour and look perfect.

These are the ones I was looking at. They are made by the same company.

 

[Raymond F.]

they'll work just fine then with a TT, and quality is top notch. I think the ones I used are a little more accurate to the ones he wore in the films though, they look a little more military and less formal, and in the movie the shoes have that seam going along the tip of the front like that.
