Re: Official Hot Toys Pirates of the Caribbean Thread
Finally got my Dead Man's Chest Will Turner finished after he sat in the early stages for about a year. I wanted to capture his "beat-up" look from the end of the film.
I had originally intended to use more of the Zizzle and Hot Toys parts but ended up remaking most of the outfit from scratch because there were just too many things "off" with the stock parts that bugged me. A big part of the wait on this figure was tracking down a good vinyl for the jacket and then figuring out how to make the 'rivet' buttons.
My plan was also to attach hair to a cast of the Hot Toys sculpt, but that just wasn't working, so I took another look at the Zizzle sculpt after seeing YodaMan's repaint of Zizzle's Elizabeth Swann - it came out surprisingly decent with a repaint.
Here are the stock parts I used in the end:
Zizzle DMC Will Turner - head, shirt, belt buckle
Hot Toys AWE Will Turner - knife & sheath, scabbard buckle, boot cuffs
Hot Toys DX Jack Sparrow - pants, vest buttons
