I guess you're all probably getting a bit tired of Marcus photo's by now but I thought I'd contribute, even if I am late.

Great looking pics Merry!! I love the toned down colors which recreate the look from the movie!!

Cool shots, Merry...keep 'em coming!

Cheers guys. Much appreciated

I feel like I really need to make this into 2 figures because I love the batal damaged in a t-shirt look, but I also love that blue jacket!!!

There goes another $90!

Well, I finally scrounged together all the parts to make a second Marcus. :chew

Here is a preliminary shot of the "twins":

Also, I wanted to showcase the boots. You don't usually get to see them, and I never would have if I hadn't done this project:

They are works of art in their own right!



The only problem I have now is that The figure comes with 3 right 'gloved' hands and only 1 left 'gloved' hand. So not sure what to do about that. right now as you can see, I have a regular TT left hand on the blue jacket version.

Just cut some fabric and make custom gloves or buy some spare hands on ebay

Spent to much on this guy on ebay already!

Might be able to find some fabric though...

I need to futz the blue jacket a bit.

The lapel in particular is bugging me. I want it to lay flatter.

How do you all feel about using an iron on it? Will it hurt the 'velvet' or whatever it is?

I hand stitched mine on the cornets and worked well.

DON'T IRON IT!

Try a small piece of double-back tape (strong stuff like gorilla) if you don't want it to be permanent...otherwise, stitch it down.

Your "twins" look fantastic BTW....

Thanks!

Alrighty then!!!

Actually it seems like anything sticky is more likely to be permanent, as it could leave a residue that would be very difficult to remove.

On the other hand a bit of stitching could be unthreaded quite easy. It's just a question of how big of holes it would leave...


...I'll have to think about this.

robbiethepainter, would you mind going through the trouble of posting a pic of your stitched collar? If it looks as nice as I suspect it does, I may go for it!

 

[robbiethepainter]

here is mine.

 

[Maglor]

Yeah, that dose look good! Thanks for the pic!!!


So you only stitched the corners? The whole lapel is lying so nicely.

 

[robbiethepainter]

I stitched the underside of the collar points and also the lapel points. I stitch all of my figures collars because of the scale of the fabric they never lay natural. And its also really easy to undo if needed.

 

[Maglor]

Interesting. The collar points on mine came stitched down...

 

[The Entity]

Yup, same with mine... I removed the stitches though to give it a more movie accurate look IMO.

 

[Marvelito]

I just got mine last night, but haven't had a chance to open it up yet. I'm curious to know how mine arrived.

 

[robbiethepainter]

Mine probably did too. I pulled him off the shelf and took a gander and saw they were stitched and assumed I did it.

 

[pyrexia]

Just order mine sorry its a dumb question but do you have remove is hand to put is coat on??

 

[EndIessRAlN]

Yep. Mine were stitched down when I got him too. I thought it was like that for everyone.
