Thanks Remy for the detailed list of paints.

Does anyone know where I can get a MOS body for a reasonable price?

In a bit of conflict, I purchased the KP02XXL to make a custom MOS. I planned to use a spare pair of MOS arms but I've grown to enjoy the SS Superman, excpet its lack of double jointed arms and am now considering using the arms for that figure. What to do?

Something about this shot has been messing with me from day one. Today it came to me. From that angle...straight up Tom Cruise. Tell me I'm lying!

Hello customizers.

It is with a bowed head an deep humility that I come before you today. After great success in mod-img my HT MOS figure and pulling the "Full Mei" (Tony's custom cape AND custom collar, see below, he's awesome! - thanks Tony!), I finally attempted my kitbash Clark Kent custom. I secured my backup/second MOS figure when they were on deep sale for a steal to use for the Clark body, and right away all of you folks who are a lot smarter than me will see where I'm going with this (which is to say, ALL of you). As I documented in the MOS thread, I obtained a great bearded Cavill head sculpt from eBay, and an equally awesome set of casual clothes from OneSixthKit and have been waiting until I could complete the Mei Mods and be sure they came out OK before breaking into the backup Supes. The Full Mei went great, so I was FINALLY ready...

Now here's where the stupid starts. I've been an avid follower of the MOS threads on the forum forever. I've read ALL the accounts of how the new MOS body is HUGE, and read all of the complaints and concerns that he was out of scale with other 1/6 characters from both HT and SS. But apparently NONE of that prior knowledge translated into realizing that the custom clothes from OSK that I've been anxiously sitting on for months HAD NO CHANCE WHATSOEVER of fitting my MOS body! Yes, that how stoopid I am!

And to make matters worse, the light of truth never dawned on me until I had broken the collar and stripped off the suite of my backup MOS. It's a sad day in the Fishing household. Pity me. We can't all have fancy educations and, you know, the common sense God gave a turnip like you all.

I don't suppose we know any customizers who are making custom clothes for this new body line do we? Tony? Tony..?

What clothes are you trying to put on it?

Yeah. Those are never going to fit on a MOS body. They were designed for a TTM19.
But with a TTM19/Joe Colton body, it can still look okay. Perhaps with some Pec mods. Mine doesn't have that, but i intend to add them.

Contact Kai Studio. I know he did offer at least the sculpt and the white shirt.



KAI STUDIO:


Oh...and btw...no...He doesnt look like Tom Cruise.

 

[QuiGonFishing]

Thanks, Man! I'm desperately trying to talk him into another run. Figures crossed.

PS Toats McGoats Cruise...

Hello all. Has anyone tried to put the Sideshow Batman body in the MOS costume?

Do we know of anyone who has picked up Kai's sculpt for a custom? Has anyone posted pics? This sculpt is on scale with the MOS body just like the shirt (most if not all of the other eared Kent sculpts out there are a little small for MOS. But Kai's promo shots are the only ones I've seen.

PS. LOVE your Tom Cruise custom, Remy!

Thank you very much for the very cool compliments buddy.
Just wanted to reciprocate the same inputs I get from many people here who have also helped me
when I needed some guidance.
I really love this board cause its a nice place to talk and share about our passion for these works of art.

Looking forward to see your Clark Kent when its done.

Special thanks to you too, Username. Hope to have a Clark to show you soon...
