Rainman's Project (Fighter V2 1999)

[Hydeous]

This is great news indeed!

And I agree what EC, nine and what the others have said

It seems like the moustache is too thick, and theres a slight 'crowbar moustache goin on there, when the fact is that it should look something like this:

I hope rainman dont take any offense, just wanting the perfect tyler thats all

Sculpt looks great but like a few said the adjustments already posted would make it even better. Although its a little dissapointing to know the wait will be longer for Stansfield this is the perfect situation really since it gives all you guys that wanted to complete your set a chance to and also a little time for us all to save up !.
Cheers for the heads up by the way Manji.

I think RM based this off of the last sculpt. I think it looks great but a few more changes would make it even better,

 

[gdb]

Impressive sculpt. I think the beard and mustache will look great with the right paint application. Great lips and skin tone too.

In addition to the mustache and goatee being too thick, the sculpt is missing the "soul patch" just below his bottom lip.

Rainman made head renewal different from v1. can you check it?
unfortunately, we can't made sunglasses that we did try to make it. rainman really want to make sharp red sunglasses. we did try to do our best. but, we made other sunglasses.
It's good, solid.

anyway, I'll list new pictures on next week~ Coming Soon~~

thank you ^0^

 

[Hydeous]

looks better, but not perfect yet, IMO

on another note, Im kinda puzzled... since those oakley shades were to supposed to come with the maroon pants, orange netted jersey at the beginning of the hotel scene.

but it seems as if rainman is giving us the 'live sex' tank top which is supposed to be the finale version

So how many costumes is rainman giving us this time, Jack?

I hope he could give us the red maroon pants, since otherwise, this one will come with the gray slacks with black sidelines like the v1 tyler, and the same gucci loafers

 

[Cap'n Cook]

Wonder which shoes he will have.

Methinks I may have to get this afterall. Looks pretty dope with the shades on.

I was gonna ask a favor from you to increase my chances, bro

I hope rainman adds some leather stitches on em shades like these:

I'm just confused, so is rainman gonna make the red shades or not? I mean it CAN be done. Just look at Ray's shades here:

Perhaps Santa Jack should help rainman by asking Ray for pointers?

That second picture looks great. I like the sunglasses a lot, but they still need the stitching detail around the lens.

I can't wait to see what his costume looks like. I hope he comes with both the orange net shirt, maroon pants and the red tank top.

I know they made these shades that came off of thin etched metal to make the frames, then you simply cut them off of the "tree" and bend the frames. I can't for the life of me find where they came from. There was a company making these for awhile. I think this is the route to go. I've seen the SSF artist Hurricane do this technique for his Darth Vader helmets to make the small intricate metal details. He does it in his home, but it is acid after all, very toxic stuff.

 

[small_studios]

Very nice work on Version 2

 

[Raymond F.]

Ive talked with Santajack about the shades already... as rfr5671 suggested they are etched metal frames that you bend and i added the lenses myself and a couple other minor mods. I can't make these on a whim because i got them from an auction ages ago for something else and can not find them anymore!

I'm going to keep my eyes open to find more.

 

[Shai]

looks like a mexican version of Brad Pitt.

The other problem with this technique is getting the right convex contour to the frame and lens. Flat plastic sheets don't bend that way. Stamped metal frames would be acceptable but I still think the way to get the closest results is cast them in tinted red transparent resin. Getting the lens to be clear with no fogging and the right shade of tinting can be difficult.

And after thinking about it, I really hope Rainman can include both the red 'live porn' shirt and the orange mesh shirt. He should come with: fur coat, head, chest piece, sunglasses, green pinkie ring, orange shirt, red shirt, maroon pants, and shoes. Or maybe the orange mesh shirt could be the bonus full set item if Rainman can't include it in the regular set as well.

 

[Raymond F.]

agreed, the best we can do is bend the frames to curve. the lenses actually bent just fine to match the frames as i used cellophane but if you bend the metal too much it just creases... but with the right finessing it should do the trick. im sure jewelry making tips would help with that for sure.

I'

 

[Entropy]

Yeah, getting that bubble curve without cellophane crinkling is almost impossible.

thanks for your picture.
we will make it again. thank you very much~ but, It's lighter color than movie's.
dark brown and black color in movie. right?

Great likeness.

Things photograph differently under different lighting conditions, and the room was darker in the movie so the colors were all darker. The paint could go either way, it is really up to personal preference if Rainman wants them looking closer to the actual costume pieces under natural lighting or what they looked like in the movie.
