A longtime friend of mine introduced me to a gentleman who owns his own sewing & upholstery business. My friend had worked with me in the past on some projects and mentioned it to the gentleman. My friend said the guy was very interested in trying his hand at some custom 1:6 clothing/gear. I met the guy & showed him the SSF board and he was very impressed with Ryan's Blade Runner outfit, edojoe's stuff and some of the other works here. He seems very interested to try his hand at some stuff and he's a really cool guy who owns his own business. We need some more great 1:6 clothing & I'd like to see a guy like this make a profit & share his talent. I was trying to give him an idea of who might be interested and what they'd be interested in if he decided to make a run of a few of the things we discussed.

My first plan is for him to work on a detailed coat for Roy Batty. I have one of the coats from the Android import figure for 3-D reference and I'd be interested in any input/pics/reference/etc about making it more film-accurate if possible. He does some killer leather & vinyl works, so I'm really interested in seeing what he does.

A few other clothing items I'm interested in seeing would be:

-Wolverine's jacket from X-Men origins
-Green Goblin's outfit
-Punisher Warzone vest
-Link's outfit (Zelda)
-Pris' tan bodysuit from Blade Runner


Any input is appreciated.
 
i'd be interested in seeing a punisher warzone vest

If he was able to do smaller items (such as socks) he could maybe do screen accurate Joker socks?
 
A Link outfit would interest me, if it is designed with Ocarina in mind.
 
I would like to see somebody do a couple of variant costumes that bill the butcher wears in gangs of new york
 
id love to see a bill and ted outfit, a ted from the 2nd movie would be cool with the red denim hooded jacket keanu reeves wears with the yellow smiley face onthe back.
 
I'll present some ideas to him and see how it goes. I'm wanting him to give the Batty coat a try first but I'll definitely see what he thinks about some other ideas. He seems very intrigued by 1:6 now, I sent him a few links to check out for ideas.

Hopefully, I can touch base with him over the weekend. I'll keep you guys posted!

thanks!

Here are a few finished pictures; my mom surprised me with a finished dress on a Blue Box perfect body for the head sculpt. I did ask to do one but she had it done the next day, usually it like pulling teeth to get her to do something like this. Unfortunately she said it was such pain to do that she most likely wouldn’t do it again…hence the problem to get her to do it in the first place.
