Heh, it was the vest I was hoping to see.

Sorry bud, working off my phone. But here's a pic of the vest on and off the body:

Interesting.

It reminds me of the first vest I tried:

The problem with these vests is that they are kind of short. This wouldn't normally be an issue, but the Arthur head is very long (way too long actually). This means that a short vest, which equals a short looking torso, makes the head look way oversized and comically long on the figure. That's why I changed the futzing of my vest and pulled it down past the belt line. It took me a while to figure out what was bugging me about the figure, and once I did that It looked 100% better. The torso now looks in scale to the head.

hey guys here is my inception set in progress,
still have to paint the heads but I had bought these suits for them months ago before they sold out from all the lurkers lol

the one for cobb is the exact STARK suit that Maglor posted with black pin stripes. In natural lighting it looks very dark navy, almost black.
I took the vest off, will not be using it for Arthur nor Cobb. If anyone's interested in the Stark vest only (black stripes), $7 shipped anywhere.

I think this Stark suit has one of the better suit jackets. (fitted on a narrow HT TT body)

For Arthur, I use the Stark 2? suit that I had posted a while ago. The pants has pin stripes too and the color is dark greyish.
I liked the white pinstriped dress shirt that came with this more than the STARK suit. It fit tighter and the pin stripes were more visible.

The brown tie is worthless and horribly made so I threw it away
Instead, I used the maroon tie from the Wayne suit.
The pants are nice and slim
And the vest is from DiD.
I know the black vest doesn't match the lighter colored pants, but that vest is the tightest vest you can find in 1:6 scale and was almost impossible to re-button lol.
Also, in the movie, his vest usually differed in color from his pants (I think the pin stripes are more visible in the movie posters than the pinstripes from his pants?) and so I think it actually looks alright with the lighter colored pants and black vest. And the pants are not as light as they show in the pics with flash.

This is how it looks in more natural lighting without the flash:

and a cool action shot:

as you can tell I am excited to finally get to paint these after 4 months of just seeing other people paint them haha

 

[Maglor]

Just to clarify:

It looks like you have Cobb on the Stark suit (not the Wayne suit, which has a blue pinstripe).

I recognize the Arthur bash. That's what I had at first:

And I agree, that brown tie is worthless. (I am also using the DiD vest in the above pics.)

Anyway, the pants and shirt in the above pictures are from the Stark Suit 2, which didn't come with a vest.




Again:


Wayne suit:

Has a blue pinstripe in the pants/vest/jacket.
Has a plain white shirt.




Stark Suit:

Black on black pinstripe.
White on white strip in the shirt.




Stark Suit 2

Don't have a picture of the jacket, but the suit is all one color. Sadly that color is more blue than black (just compare the DiD vest). It's not just lighter, it's blue.
Also the shirt, which also has a pinstripe, is bluish.

These fact that the Stark Suit 2 suit is blue is bourn out by the fact that it comes with a brown tie and brown belt (which you Arthur is wearing). Incidentally, that's the belt that my Cobb is wearing.

3 more quick thoughts:

1) Awesome Morpheus group shot!

2) Although I personally believe the Stark Suit to be the best and most accurate possible suit for Arthur, he looks great for Cobb to.

3) What shoes are they wearing?

AH ha you are correct, it is the Stark suit I think I was getting mixed up with all the pictures and names thrown around lol

shoes are just some crappy ones I had around (came with another suit set). I thought I had to swap those shoes for the Morpheus sets because I was running low of the Morpheus ones but that's not the case anymore, so I am actually going to use the ones that they came with in the end.

I really liked the stark suit in general but I hated the vest, and the jacket looked so good and I think Cobb looks better with the jacket than Arthur.

Sunohc that is very nice look Awesome love the way the pants look

 

[Cap'n Cook]

Daniel, that is BEAUTIFUL!!

Best Arthur I have seen. Just captures him immediately.

 

[sunohc]

thanks Keysta75 and snake eater!
the slim form fitting clothing really help

I think my Inception DVD (FINALLY) is also coming in the mail soon so I can wait to put up a cool display like Maglor too. I still haven't snagged one of those cocoloboy (is that how you spell it) display stands but I eventually will once I know where I'll be settling hehe

Will be curious to see it with the head...

 

[kenobiobi]

Awesome looking Arthur bash Sunohc. He's got some sweet presence holding the bigger gun from the movie poster. The hunt begins again, that's the kind of pinstripe shirt I need to call mine complete.

 

[Gipetto0812]

I thought he was hold a SCAR with scope in the poster shot? Or is that a SCAR and I just don't know my guns?

 

[Platty]

Daniel, awesome bashes so far buddy.

Gipetto I think you're right, that certainly doesn't look like a SCAR, more an M4

 

[sunohc]

thanks guys, yes I will get them painted up as soon as those MORPHEUS figures get out the door lol

ah yes, it's just a random big gun I found in my kitbashing box
actually I'm at my home where my parents and little sisters live and so they expressed multiple times that there were "bothered" by action figures with huge guns in the house and so I had to actually remove the gun from the figure anyways haha

Yet another Dom Cobb head!

By a company called 'Headplay'

There are more pictures of this and other sculpts of theirs over on OSW - "Headplay: New heads (P3 Added pics)" They have some great headsculpts.

Now that is the best likeness I have seen other than Feng's

Not bad at all!

 

[K07]

I'm not so sure about that one. I'd need to see it painted up and in context of the figure. I didn't think Feng's or Daniel's looked as great as they could be until popped onto a body and painted up. That's especially true in the case of Daniel's sculpt. I think Mag's bashes are the best so far. My Cobb is gonna look nearly identical but I'm gonna hold off starting Arthur until a new suit becomes available. All of those others are sold out to my knowledge.

He looks pissed!



I dig it!



I agree that I need to see this one painted to fully judge, but it might be my favorite of the bunch. However, I'm quite pleased with Daniels head, and will probably just stick with that in the end.
