That looks cool. I'm going to use a Red Ninja one myself for the time being. Going to look into poseable rope/chain too.

may want to thicken up the legs a bit but looks good man
Thought about that too, maybe with the T1 body and you would hit 2 flies with one swing, if you get what I mean, in terms of getting the chest out more, you know?
And the puff on the left part of cloth comes out great, Tim.
I, for my part, totally see the difference...

Thanks everyone!
Nick & Endo - Yeah, I noticed the legs look a little small as well. I am thinking I will add on the muscle attachments from the TrueType figure. Those are a little too big though, so I will most likely sand them down a bit.

Looks awesome! I think adding those leg muscles will be a great idea. The blue padding looks a lot better with the new material inside. Nice work Twik.

Okay, here it is! I added the thigh muscles, and finished of the other pieces. I did mess up one of the shinguards (his left leg... really I didn't mess up, I just tried 2 different ways of making them and liked the other one better... it was quicker and bends around the shin better). I am not totally happy with the shoes either, but I did just win and auction on a Hot Toys Goemon Ishikawa figure, which I intend to modify and use on this one.
What do you guys think? If the weather is nice tomorrow, maybe I will get out my good camera and do some fun shots!
Next step, I am going to start from scratch and make a Scorpion. This will give me a better gauge of time involved, so I can throw out a price for anyone that is interested. This next week is going to be crazy at work, so I am not sure how much I will be able to get done... I'll keep everyone posted.

Nick - Yeah, the head is still a little large. Honestly, my collection of these figures are still really small (just started collecting them last month), and I don't have a good collection on "parts" to choose from. Most likely, down the road, I will end up putting a different head on him. The only "spare" heads I have are the silly ignite ninja heads... those are AWFUL.
That looks fantastic! You've really improved since page 1
The only suggestion I can make right now would be to have the black undershirt come up a bit more on the sides. Closer to the armpits. The pic on the previous page of Sub-zero has them a little higher than yours. Just slightly higher is all. Should be a simple fix on the next go around. But other than that, it looks perfect
Can't wait to see Scorpion!

That looks sick, Tim.
Absolutely, but I think the edges of the shoulder parts could get a little higher, but I don't wanna wisecrack, especiallly since I couldn' t have sewn it your way and it looks great already, but you know what I mean?
Fantastic custom bud. Really nailed it.

Buttmuch - Again, we are on the same page. I had already adjusted my templates.
marker & Dark Passenger - Thanks guys!
Endo - I totally know what you mean... In fact I have a pair laying around where the edges (near the sholders) are a bit higher... and honestly, I just didn't like it. haha. But, When I start making them for people... maybe I will throw that out there as an option... it really doesn't effect my time or anything like that.

Great minds think alike I guess.Like I said, its not off a whole lot. Just a bit more chest showing than that game pic. And something like that is a very minor problem considering the rest of the outift. You absolutely nailed this! Are you sure you haven't sewn before this? If this is where you start, I can't wait to see what you'll be able to do in just a few months!
Any thoughts of doing more MK characters after the Ninjas? Would you go classic or different costumes? Etc Etc. Aside from the Ninjas, I think most characters' outfits got a little better after the first few games. But to me the ninjas were PERFECT in MK II. After that the costumes went down hill. Not that I don't like them, but they were less uniform and each started to get their own styles. Which of course is what you'd want in individual characters, but I just really liked the uniformity of the ninjas.
