Re: robbiethepainter's project thread.

Straight jacket is just weathered. The mask.....just wait.

End of next week I'll share my plan.
 
Re: robbiethepainter's project thread.

I need to weather my straight jacket. Can you post a detailed description of what you did?
 
Re: robbiethepainter's project thread.

Its real easy.
First thing is dunk the whole garment in water and then wring it out. This will help the paint to soak in. Next I use a combination of black and brown paint. His jacket is more of a warm grey so thats why I used some brown. With a lot of water and a touch of paint, work it into the surface. If the color doesn't instantly soak in, you need to add more water to the paint. That's it. I have a hair dryer to speed up the drying time. Just remember less is more and that it almost always dries lighter so take your time. You can always come back in and add more.

That looks amazing Robbie, great work!

Amazing artwork Robbie! Looks fantastic!


There is genioisity at work here. Brilliant, work on Hannibals straight jacket. Purely brilliant!

It always did bro. Just needed the right amount of love! Brilliant work up Robbie! Never expected anything less! :hi5:

Thanks guys.

If the iMinime version looked this good, I would've never passed it up. GRAIL.

Only thing I changed was the mask and painted the jacket.

Not to turn this into 'one of those' discussions, but IMO their original photos looked horrible.

That's a different mask also, Robbie's sits WAY better. The mask is huge in achieving that look. The straps are even accurate it looks like.

That is very fair. As a customizer, I often look at what a figure could be as apposed to what it really is.
