yeas i have the v1. its great. about a minute ago i was messing around with it and the leg fell off....my second truetyoe with a bum leg but now i have an excuse to get a narrow. im thinking a narrow for arthur and a regular for cobb

Nice to hear it's a good suit, sorry to hear about the body

A question for the more experienced customisers:

The shirt that comes with the Stark suit 2 has a thin blue pinstripe through it. It is otherwise white. I would like to make it all white. Is it feasable to do a bleach job on it?

If so, how?



Thanks in advance.

Anyone?

JGL is pretty thin, I think I'll put him on a slim.

Anyone?

I've never bleached anything (on purpose) but I don't think it'll work. It may lighten the stripes or change the colour of them, but it won't make them disappear. For 'our' purposes though it may work out since they're very subtle in the movie.

I would dilute a little bleach in some water and then let it soak for a bit. Rinse it out, and try it again if need be. Just try to do it a little at a time... there's no going back and if they start going pink or something you're screwed.

Be warned, you'll have to tailor any clothing you use for him. And Daniel has stated that the head may be too large scale-wise for a slim. He's recommended a Narrow over and over.

Okay, I agandoned that idea. I have decided I really like the Waine shirt. It just needs to be ironed. And I may try to add some velcro, or more buttons (there's only one or two).

Really liking the Waine vest also.

Anyone interested in a deal on the DiD vest?

Progress pics:

Like I said: I'm really happy with the Wayne vest. The only problem is that to get it to look like that I need a bobby pin and a hair clip:

I'm gonna see if I can have my mother in law tailor the vest for me.

 

[beeshaw]

It's really not hard to tailor the vest (as long as you don't really mind the back looking a little haggard). Just kind of pin it (like you've done) and mark it where you want. Cut a slit right up the back and then sew it up along your line! Easy peasy!

I'm digging Arthur man. That's going to look AWESOME with Dan's sculpt!

 

[Maglor]

Thanks.

And thanks for the tip. I'm still gonna talk to my mother in law as, if it's possible I would like it tailored as if it were a real vest. With no cut and all the work done at the seams.

We'll see.

 

[Platty]

Is the vest going to be covered by a jacket or coat or something?

 

[Maglor]

I may pose him with the jacket at some point, but I'm really going for the hallway fight look.

 

[Platty]

Oh, was going to say, there would be other ways to tighten the vest without changing it!

 

[Maglor]

Are you guys not liking Cobb so far?

I think he looks great, especially after removing the zipper.



I know the brown is kinda dark, but I really like the cut.

 

[beeshaw]

Cobb looks great, but Arthur is further along so he pops more. Plus it's easier to visualize with no head, where with Cobb all I see is Gambit wearing a leather coat. lol

 

[Maglor]

okay, gotcha!


The reason I left the head on Cobb is that I wanted the neck joint to show:

Really glad I ordered WITHOUT neck heads.



[Edit] When I get the pants, I'll throw the whole thing together and I'll leave the neck on without the Gambit head.



Hope the pant's come soon!


...I need the belt to, but I'll get by with the Stark suit 2 belt in the meantime.

 

[MarfMaster]

Cobb and Arthur look great Mag! Get that vest tailored for Arthur and he's done I really like that Wayne suit, hope the Stark one is as nice. Definitely like that shirt/jacket combo for Cobb, he's gonna look awesome once he's all put together and you'll have a custom more unique than the majority of us

 

[Maglor]

Thanks bro! Means a lot.

 

[sunohc]

hey maglor, that looks great so far!
I wonder if a TTL body or SS body with the torso to neck sculpted is a better option if you're going to pose him with an open collar.
