Anyone got any good ideas of how I should do the straps on CV Wesker's boots? I've been putting it off for too long...

I actually had another thought, arent BSAA Chris's leg connectors the thin sticks and not ball joints? If that was the case then they wouldnt work without swapping the legs :-/

Id buy 6 of the 1:6 cheap leather belts you can get on ebay (make sure the ends of the straps are rounded) - cut off the buckles - use 3 belts per boot, measure where i should start wrapping the belt around from to make sure that the end of the belt (the rounded part) comes out towards the back rear of the boot to keep in design. Id do that 6 times and to finish them get 6 tiny studs.

though id be clueless where to get the studs

Well, thats as close as id try to get. i wouldnt try to get it identacle or id never be happy

Nope, they're ball joints!

Thanks for the input! I thought about that, guess I better start looking.
 
Thats the only thing i could think to do, the straps look like they should be rubber but i dont know where you could find 6 rubber straps like that :-/

ah your right, just checked. My custom has an adaptor from ball joint to peg so my memory was mixed up
 
Well, as promised. here's Krauser on the new Muscle body (T2 DX10 Body).

I'm very happy with it, as it adds the necessary bulk that the stock Krauser body just didn't have, but perhaps the best part about it is...he can actually hold his weapons and get into a good bow aiming pose :yess:

The head color is a little off from the this particular body, but it's not very noticeable in hand. The pics bring it out more than it actually is. Obviously if you have an issue with exposed joints, this body isn't for you. You'd be better off getting the previous T2 (MMS117) body or the RE5 Chris Redfield body. I went with this one because it has the best look coupled with great articulation.

I haven't, but did you check the grade condition before buying? They always list whether or not it's complete or broken and they mention whats missing/broken if anything.

Congrats though, and I hope you got a good one. :hi5:

Thanks Biojex! Nothing was listed as broken, and it is complete.
It had a 85 or 90 grade I think. Tried viewing it again, but I guess I bought the only one:lol

Should be here next week:yess:
 
I wish i had an original krauser. He would be my "2 figure display" with re 4 ada. But krausers now are wayyy too much. And on top of getting the krauser id also need to buy the new muscle body so it can look like it does on the last page. So its not even an option!
 
I'm sure you can buy one. ;) the character doesn't appeal me. TA had in in stock for a while, but it was his mutated look. I instead got Sheva.

I like his mutated look too. Im a fan of the Krauser character because of Darkside Chronicles. Unfortunately when i sold my Post transformation krauser id only played re 4 and didnt see him as big of a player was he was. Ah well, i may get lucky one day and win the lottery and be able to afford one and make it look as badasss as this

Thanks for the comments guys. This new body definitely bumped Krauser up a few levels on my favorite figure list. Kiva I hope you get one someday?

I'm sure it's crossed your mind but, have you thought about trying to just buy the head and the new muscle body to kitbash a darkside chronices version? Youd have to smooth out the scars on the sculpt of course, but it might be the cheaper route.


Is there a compare pic of original body and new body?

I don't have one, but maybe I'll see about redressing the old body and taking a pic.
