When I'm back in my own house, I will make a proper little display for them, but at least I have the figures done. I do have a few props for them, but I haven't taken any pictures with them yet.

 

[Tekkaman Blade]

Nicely done.

 

[Hirogen]

Very nice everyone! DoD, what wasitcoat did you use?

 

[**16k**]

Splendid!!! Just what I want my own Holmes to look like!!!

Hirogen, unless I'm wrong, I think this is Lincoln's frock coat...

Thanks guys!

Even though I don't have a nice scale fireplace like Tekkaman Blade, I do have a full size one so I thought it would be a less sterile place to take this picture.



And here are a couple more from my usual place on the floor in the corner next to the back door where I get good natural light:





After watching The Empty House and Abbey Grange last night I redid Watson's watch chain because I saw he usually wears it through a higher buttonhole than I had originally put it.

Holme's waistcoat is from battlegear toys. The website design is terrible so I can't give a direct link, but it's in the Western section. Real buttons, real buttonholes, real pockets. Just don't get it wet because the black dye will run (I found this out the hard way -- thank goodness for bleach!). This was from my first order directly from their website and I was a little worried beforehand, but everything came in less than a week.

I think the frock coat is exactly the same as the Lincoln one, but mine is from Wyatt Earp.

Fantastic end result...any chance of getting the full recipe for these figures?

 

[Tekkaman Blade]

I added extentions to the legs and found a gray coat that looks very close. https://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.d...hW3xkZo%3D&viewitem=&sspagename=STRK:MEWNX:IT

and I think I've figured out a way to make a pretty convincing deer stalker cap. Again still waiting on the parts. Mail takes forever in December.

Thanks Alibi.

For Holmes the recipe is 16k head (of course) on a TTL WWII body with the long HT T-800 footpegs. The hands are from store-rooms. I'm pretty sure they are recasts of HT hands, but they are much smaller so they are more in scale with the head.

His outfit is a CrazyOwners white shirt with the cuff buttons replaced with black buttons to simulate cufflinks. The tie is black ribbon and tacky glue. Waistcoat is Battlegear Toys. The watch-chain is custom from a craft store necklace. Because the waistcoat pockets and buttonholes are real, it is anchored on one side with a pocket-knife, goes through the button hole, and then is attached to a watch in the other pocket. The fob is a 1/6 brass button attached to the chain with a bit of wire. His frock coat is Sideshow. His trousers are from the Drastic Plastic FDR figure with the cuffs let out. The boots are Toy City WWII Russian boots. The violin is from eBay with the chin rest removed.

Watson is 16k head on a TTL WWII body with regular footpegs and regular HT hands. His outfit is the Mattel Henry Higgins suit. The only change I made was replacing the original bead buttons with regular buttons from a Dragon coat. His waistcoat doesn't have real pockets or buttonholes so the watch chain is sewed in place. His fob is made the same way as Holmes's, but the button is a different style. His boots are DID WWII American army boots.

So most of it is off the shelf stuff with a minimal amount of sewing and fabrication to give at least a superficial appearance of being screen accurate. All I know is I'm very happy with them!

Looking good Gido!

Later this year Hot Toys releases a mime Joker, must go after the top hat.
I think it is perfect for Jeremy.

Looks like you have also other Sherlock figures.

 

[gido]

Yeah.Holmes was my favorite hero from early childhood.Also he was reason why i started to play violine in school. I started to collect different SH figures & dolls before 1/6 scale.Mind against violance, Victorian time, misteries to resolve-i love this romantical world.
