Godammit, that's beautiful, Seb!

Thats my thoughts exactly.
I've had a day from hell and this has made me all sorts of good, thanks for sharing.

I will make one of these one day and have already bought the gun.

At least it's a start

 

[elvis1976]

Thanks guys, out of interest for those mad about accuracies the lower straps on his shotgun holster is brown and not black! ;-)

 

[Koupon]

Awesome work as usual elvis! It is great to finally see how my dog looks painted, and I am impressed! Spenser is currently painting the dog for me, so can't wait to get it back. Hope it looks as good as yours!

On another note, we scrounged up enough supplies to get a few more Max parts out there for those in need. There's currently 1 Leg Brace, 3 more Belt/Shoulder Strap combo, and more shotguns, but that will probably be it for any Max part restock until late December at the earliest.

Finally, there's 4 more unclaimed Kit #2, which includes the Shoulder Pad, Knee Pad and a dog for anyone interested. If we do not have them claimed and/or paid for by the end of business on Saturday, they'll be parted out and available separately on the site. They are $55 shipped, but do not pay until I confirm you can get one, so PM if interested. Thanks guys, and great to see everyone's progress!

Got my kit #2 today, and this heeler dog is really something when in hand. Gonna be fun!

 

[Toy Anxiety]

Since they were not claimed, the last 3 Kit #2 have been parted out and are now on the site individually, so there are 3 more of each of the shoulder and knee pads. That about does it for awhile now. Let's see some more of those pics!!! BTW, thinking about continuing with the Max theme. I know someone out there is supposedly looking into Humongous, so we're going to look into Wez and/or the Gyro Captain. Probably not until after the holidays though. Thanks guys!

WEZ!? What the-- YES! I need Wez to go with Max!

That would be a real dream come true.

Yo! Seb! We're waiting for word on the jacket! Wherezat come from?

 

[Koupon]

It's the Ken (Barbie) Harley Davidson Jacket.

It looks good in theory but it requires a lot of customizing and even then it's not ideal IMO. I personally didn't like it because the material peels/tears easily and so when you remove things that are glued to it, the material peels. There is also a big Harley logo printed on the back that is really hard to remove without ruining/peeling the material.

 

[Cheungkinmen]

For the jacket you guys could use this one:

It's close IMO.

 

[Koupon]

Yeah that is the one I used. Turned out well with a bit of weathering etc. It's not 100% accurate but it's made with better material and is easier to customize.

Yes I used a Ken (barbie) jacket.
Mine didn't have any peeling problem at all honestly.
I like the one above but way too much sip for me.

 

[Koupon]

I recall seeing some peeling where you have removed pockets on yours Elvis...? I could be mistaken... How did the back of your jacket turn out? Did you remove the logo successfully?

Well i replaced all the back with some other leather, easier for me
