I'm really impressed with the attention to detailing on the baldric, it's such a highlight of a lot of impressive work.

Excellent use of a figure amongst greenery!

I am jealous, Wor-Gar! ROCKIN' figure! You got just what you were after there. Shows what HT SHOULD have done...great work Ryan!

Re: Official Hot Toys Pirates of the Caribbean Thread

Wow! Looks great! Some excellent craftsmanship on that outfit. Is the vest really as red as it looks in the pics?

DMC Swann is on my eventual to-do list.

Any idea how that "stitching" on the baldric is done? I need to get me one of those tools!

 

[Wor-Gar]

Re: Official Hot Toys Pirates of the Caribbean Thread

Thank you all!

Remember, this is just a rough assembly so no futzing or anything. But the clothes looked so amazing I wanted to show the craftmanship off right away.

Answers to a few questions:

The vest is a deep wine red -- pics make it look a bit redder than it is -- but I asked for it to be a brighter shade because I plan to weather it a bit like hers in the film. That work to come.

As to the "stitching" on the baldric, you have to ask the tailor-master Ryan about that trick.

Maybe one day soon we'll get that Barbossa.

Re: Official Hot Toys Pirates of the Caribbean Thread

Thanks, Sean!

And I agree about the head... but that may find a solution in the coming weeks as well.

I haven't had time to really futz her yet, hopefully tomorrow, but I did want to post some close-ups of the detail work Ryan does...

Baldric

Real brass buckle. Even has the "stitching" line along the sides.


Vest back corset

I haven't tied it yet, but its got grommets and the whole thing. Vent too, and the ribbed stitching for her pleasure. Notice the grommet on the baldric too that allows for movement and shifting for a more natural lay...

Natural lay? Hey now....

Amazing! Ryan did a fantastic job. Now I really want one.

I'm disinclined to acquiesce to your request...

Re: Official Hot Toys Pirates of the Caribbean Thread

Thanks! Very happy.

Looks AMAZING Greg! Now I know what Ryan's 'secret project for Wor-Gar' was all about in the Deckard thread...and why Ryan is suddenly interested in my Swann figure!

Re: Official Hot Toys Pirates of the Caribbean Thread

Thanks! Very happy.

That looks AWESOME!
That's a great job Wor-Gar!

Thanks for all the kind words, guys! I do appreciate the feedback. I know Ryan does too.

The above is a fairly easy formula for those who may want to trade out their AWE Swann for a DMC one. All a matter of taste of course.
