Piecing together a Matrix Neo

[Devil_666]

lacks the "wires" (for lack of a better word, maybe it's a shoulder support?) on top

"Folding Stock" is the term you're looking for agonistes86.

Wow, that's pricey! I am glad I got mine when it was $100.

BOOTS !!!. too dear for me be easier to buy a leather pair and add straps and what not https://cgi.ebay.com/1-6-MATRIX-NEO...082?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item20b7dc818a

Yeah I saw that auction yesterday, too. I'm watching it, but don't think I'll bid on it, too pricey for me.

Thanks.

toylion posted these great shots of the boots over in the headplay thread, I'm quoting them here for further reference, to have everything in one thread:

Here are some nice close ups of the boots.

Well I'm just waiting for my HeadPlay Neo HS. And just need to make some straps and buckles for his boots.

I'm quoting this post from the headplay thread to this thread for conversations sake.


This is actually really awesome looking toylion. I like everything except for the boots. Getting a commission going can certainly fix that.

I think one thing that might be tough to make is the shoulder holsters though. Everything else is pretty easy actually.

Is that the triad coat there? Got any other pic angles?

Thank you, yes it's the Triad coat and shirt. Will take more photos when I receive the Head Play headsculpt.

So
any serious thoughts about commisioning someone to do the boots and glasses then?

 

[marker2037]

I'm down for it. Many others seemed to be as well. We just need to find a suitable person to do it.

 

[jinroh75]

i'd be down for one too. only missing the boots and some nice glasses

 

[Kuzeh]

Great thread!
Might get started on this with the Headplay's sculpt!
!

 

[JIM007]

Any ideas guys to who to propose the project of creating the boots and glasses?

Betomatoli for one. I already have a PM out to Kato about a possible complete outfit (or at least the boots and sunglasses by his friend Sean Ho).

Let us know when you hear anything. And thanks for contacting him about it.

Anyone think these could be a good start? The general shape is there, they would require a lot of work though I guess

I have a pair of those,
their OK, but they are huge! and made of rubber...

 

[elvis1976]

Those boots are ____, cheap plastic and the feet is just wayyy too huge.

 

[Platty]

Back to the drawing board then! maybe the HT Comedian boots?

 

[elvis1976]

DOn't think, will require way too much work.
WOuld be easier to work with simple boot sand build over them.
Rather than work on intricate boots and try to simplify them.

 

[Platty]

Hmm yeah that's a good point! All the german WW2 boots could provide a good base I suppose, though can those creases be straightened out?

 

[elvis1976]

Well personally, i will be reworking leather boots and adding leather parts and straps and buckles. We will see how it will turned out.
Alos working on the leather shoulder holster and harness.
