Ya, you literally bought those right under my nose. I was just about to hit buy and they were gone...
There's nothing similar on bay right now.

^I'm using 1 of these on either side. All I did was colour them in using black permanent marker. I used spare T-1000 trouser belts tied around them for the buckles and then to recreate detail I noticed in the referance pics I was using (see below) I cut strips of tape that came with figures like Billy Sole, Chris Taylor and Sgt.Barnes and applied it as needed to the bags - then coloured that in black too.

^the pics I used

^pics which materialised only after I was done.

^what mine looks like

Dude, that´s amazing.
Didn´t had a look at your bags, but you made one awesome job there, really.


@Elämän:
I´s literally sitting in front of my PC, read your post and shouted:
"Noooo, damn...!"
So sorry, those are perfect, man...


Btw: Didn´t post on your customs but love your Red Heat and Commando Arnold, buddy.

Haha no worries man, I know you mean no harm. I'm an amateur too and just experiment with different lights etc., don't have any special equipment except for a tripod.
I definitely agree about the neck too. IIRC I didn't pull the head out, just had him look up, which is not a flattering pose for the fig. It highlights the neck issue as there are no shadows to conceal it IMO. Same goes for the lighted neck and black background, it makes the neck appear even slimmer than it actually is.

Amateur or not I think that poster shot you took is one of my favorite pics of this figure Ive seen on this forum. Looks great. The one with clouds in the back is very nice as well. It looked like a perfect day. Good work. Lets see more

Did you use just a standard true type a-dev? Fantastic custom btw!!!!

Thanks. Not bad isn't it considering how amateur my method was. Permanent black marker!

Cheers Snoop. I don't know exactly what TT it is to be honest as I switch them from figure to figure and end up losing track. But yeah its not a muscle body - just a plastic TT with varying layers of bubblewrap taped around relevant areas to make the build look right. Again its not very good at all as a standing figure but suits my purposes perfectly well as a permanent bike rider. An added benefit of it being a normal TT is less weight on top of the fragile bike.

Thanks for the help Im going to have to try this out. It looks just about perfect in your pics.

Dude, that´s like one of my mottoes:
"Simple, but impressive."
Really, if it works the simple way and it looks stunning who gives a damn about the way.
I often do it myself the same way, cause I don´t have all materials.
Ideas and hands who can do it is all it takes.

Agreed.
It's so good, the poster shot would fool most non-collectors.

I think those were my exact words
Thanks for the sympathy, man.

eBay has those bags in brown, but I dunno how to dye them black without making the material sticky

Thanks I tried my best with those two. Still I feel my Danko is a bit bland, though...

You´re welcome, buddy and I guess you´ll eventually get it done, considering all your other things.

Nah, man. That´s such a simple charakter.
You´ve done good on those, man.

Thanks a lot guys. You can see a couple more pics in my collection thread here: https://www.sideshowcollectors.com/forums/showthread.php?t=88544&highlight=agonistes&page=3, although I think most of my other shots are spread throughout threads here.
BTW I can't take credit for the T-800 shot with the clouds TheFiend, Tyler posted that shot.

 

[vodoun]

Yeah I think it's because the light is coming slightly from below, and the sculpt looks better lighted slightly from above, with the shadows falling down on his face, not upwards.

edit: Way back from page 780, but this is one of my favorite T-800 pics, and it shows the lighting from above (found the post because I saved that shot the same day ).

Thats a great shot!

I'm sorry about that, I have put them in my watch list two weeks ago while waiting for the fatboy telephone to arrive.
Too bad we aimed for the same items.

Wow, great shot.

Great shot Wicket! More..

Currently trying to loop the leather lace through the slider tab hole hole on the breast left breast pocket on the T-800's leather jacket. I noticed it wasn't tied and looped like all the others and it's been bugging the hell out of me.

Trying to get it through is a nightmare. Seeing this kind of stuff makes me wonder how they produce these things through the assembly line.
