New Custom SALLAH Project

[FLOSI]

Now that I think about it, the swordsman did have boots. So Hasbro got it right.

Much easier. I have about 6 pair of black SS boots laying around after slowly swapping everything to DID German officer boots.

Haha thanks. I just put some hands on him and some boots I had and did a little futzing with the sash. I might make a new one later but it will work for now.

Definitely need a regular TT I think. Using the slim because that is what I had sitting around and the shoulders need to be much broader.

Looks great Tyler! You've got me looking forward to my vest and sculpt getting here!

 

[Something Sexy]

Thanks Rich. I appreciate the fabric worked out perfectly.

SALLAH!

That's outstanding!

Here is mine so far.

What material did you use for the skirt?

Can you post a link to the shirt you're using Tyler? I think I like yours more that mine. Did you Ritt dye the whole thing (shirt+skirt)?

Rockin' Sallah, SS! I have relented and am going with the shirt/skirt too, so am on that. Have dyed (paint stained) my waist wrap and done the WorGar color paint stain to the vest, so all that's left really is the shirt/skirt and paints on him.
A good formula for the colors of the shirt/skirt would help a bunch.

 

[MANDO]

How do you guys tea dye? I'm sure its just as it sounds but is there more to it?

It is called

DRAGON WWII GERMAN WINTER SNIPER SHIRT

I initially do not see any on ebay currently.

Thanks Les!

I just tea dyed my shirt and skirt after I sewed them. I used a orange pekoe and pekoe black tea for the dye. My skirt didn't exactly match the top color originally (was a tad darker) so I soaked the top in a bit longer and it seemed to come out pretty damn close to matching.

I just got a bowl of hot water and then put some tea bags in it for a while to get a nice deep rich color. Then strain the water so no little specs are in there (they will attach to the fabric and are a _____ to get out) then just soak to the desired effect.

Awesome, thanks!

The Monkey is out of the "shirt" but they are low on his parts so check back for a breakdown soon.

 

[FLOSI]

TA is out too... not that important really. I just like the overall cut of that shirt.

I am sure they will come up again. I will let you know if I find one.

The head on Sallah is off a few millimeters and he's all one color. Looks like crap. Needs to look more like Gimli!
