Rainman's Project (Fighter V2 1999)

[Greggo]

Hey Ray

I have been looking myself and also doing screencaps, but the last scenes are so dark you can hardly see anything. There is a lot of work involved in this vest. But Im more than happy to find you images mate.

Hey guys Im working on a more accurate verison of Tyler's End Tank top shirt (black sugar). Does anyone have access to better pics I can use for reference?

Entropy posted a blurry pic o the back of the most accurate replica i've seen of this shirt earlier in the thread. it's now my main point of reference but Id like more. Any idea where that came from Entropy??
Or links to 70's porn signs or magazines? (guess this would have to be PMed to me) honestly this will help. the motocross shirt was a lot easier. If there's no clear pics of this shirt I have to look at a LOT of vintage porn for the right pics. All the typography I can do myself I'm not too worried about it at all. But I need very close imagery to be happy.

I want this 95% accurate.

I will probably offer up Iron on tanks if the design works out...

 

[Hydeous]

What bout the motocross tee, Ray? Any chance you can offer those soon?

Thanks Greg that would be awesome friend You're right the screen caps are really hard to pick up on... still I plan to make this reeeeealy accurate... even if im faking it it will look great... it just annoys me because i can see with the pic Entropy posted there is at least one accurate replica out there... i just wish there were beter pics

Hydeous (and I believe Marfmaster asked me this a few weeks ago too) what happened with the motorcross T is that Kato said he'd be in if I provided the design printed on the fabric paper which was A-OK with me. Trouble is I HATED the way it looked printed on the fabric paper. I tried laser and inkjet it did not work.

I think Rainman's black sugar tank is just printed on fabric paper and that looks ok so I don't know...

Anyways What I think I'll offer is the iron on versions if anyone is interested. It's like mine. meant to sit underneath the jacket but not really meant to be displayed on it's own. I've already done one like this for Seb (elvis) I'm more than content with this.

I'd need the HT Albert Wesker STARS Tee sent to me and I'll handle the dye job and image transfer. It actually takes a fair amount of time to do this because I do some hand touch ups as well to make it look more realistic. Anyone wants one I'm more than happy to help but it would have to be using that tee only because that what my pattern i set to.

 

[Raymond F.]

Also still working on getting in those glasses. I still do have the one pair if anyone can hook me up with those Newline Boots... I'll give it a bit longer on that.

Just tried searching the tee of albert you mentioned on ebay, and I cant seem to find it. I guess not many sellers are parting those out, so finding it can be a bit challenging I must say is there another alternative of the tees?

Say, how did studio 49 did his? His' looks ok, except that I wasnt too fond of the thick collar and the fact that the back of the tee wasnt printed

have you ever considered of contacting rainman/santa jack and ask them to print on fabric paper instead? they did a pretty good job on the brown sugar one.

 

[Raymond F.]

I did contact them about it to no avail

As for studio49s I wasn't all that impressed with the clarity of his print... when i tried it.. that/s how it turned out as well. He did a god job on placement and accuracy but I didn't think the whole thing looked too sharp to be honest. But he's an awesome tailor. Hope he comes back healthy with lots more to offer us.

 

[Raymond F.]

As for other Tees I tried like 5 different ones and they were all HUGE and ugly... Hopefully some more Weskers get parted soon...

Anyone seen this yet? Not great execution but shows how great that HT sculpt is.

I actually do not like that at all. The HT Pitt looks old and fat IMO, not like Durden at all. Could work with a bit of lipo courtesy of a scalpel.

 

[Raymond F.]

I totally agree with LChinoz on this one. I don't like to tear apart someone's honest efforts but this thing looks nothing short of TERRIBLE all around the board. I actually cringed a little when i looked through those pics... If he couldn't afford Rianman's he should have went with Daniel's

 

[Hydeous]

The thing is that its not that he couldnt afford it, but he isnt pleased with any of the heads.

"Don't satisfy with the Tyler head sculpt bought from overseas"

Looks more like del toro to be honest. Btw, I wonder where he got that penguin shirt? Maybe he can commission for us?

 

[Raymond F.]

I did notice the shirt peaking out... wonder how accurate it is?? then again I question his taste entirely if his preference is the Aldo head with fuzz glued all over it??

you have a point there, sir.

 

[LookCloser]

Raymond - any luck on finding any more tyler fight club glasses yet? I'd love to get a pair if you ever find them again. Do you know the name or maker / company of them so I could search myself?

Also, I didn't find the exact NLM boots you were looking for so far, but this link https://www.toysoldierbrigade.com/Newline Miniatures/Newline Footwear Page.htm has several different kinds of NewLine shoes. Let me know if any of them work out for you!

 

[Remy]

Yes Ray, I would like to know as well about those glasses, they look really cool.

 

[Cap'n Cook]

Here is my hybrid Durden.....FINALLY!!

 

[psung4ever]

Wow! You received it already???!!! So fast~!

 

[Greggo]

Wow even better pictures mate. I will have to get the images too looks so cool my friend, Im glad you are happy with them

 

[Cap'n Cook]

Thanks bud, but I feel yours showed off the paint better.

Over the moon!!! This guy has been pending for around six months now, so pleased to get him together finally, with such a great job.
