Showing awAitng stock but worth a try

Play just emailed me cancelling the order - not surprised bunch of wan£ers

 

[Crimsonbob]

Same here on all 4 of mine

 

[big guy]

Aye cancelled my order to due to the wrong price advertised, the buggers. That been an actual Bricks and mortar shop there`s nowt they could have done but online seems to be a different kettle of fish it seems.

Right, I a chum has made me a snowtrooper outfit.... this is the prototype. Its made of a t-shirt material... I love it but I am asking you guys your opinion.... should we go for a cotton? Although it can be a wee bit see through. He will make alterations and stuff and will make some for who ever wants one, but we want to get the material and design right.

Chuffin awesome! I love the Snowies, will you be supplying the whole kit Dorgs or just the clothing and we have to supply the armour ourselves? I'd love one of these.

 

[big guy]

Well the material seems to hold up to photos (they tend to see through).
Also if you had to just bang on a tight fit onepiece white suit/ White Tee and shorts then the fatigues.
Would A, lessen the see through and B, add to bulking him up for cold enviroments.

Though got to say the above photo Mark works a treat mate.

The Look is really well done, have you gone for the asymmetric breast covering coat?

For the material: You should really go for linen, the heavy fabric looks like it could stand snow and low temperature. After spraypainting my Hasrbo clothes, it became sort of a thick, heavy linen feeling. Go for that I say!

PS: You intend making the sewing pattern public?! Dumdeedum ...

 

[Dorgmal Snow]

here are some more pics.
The outfit is basically the same as the Hasbro one.... I thought it may be easier to make and keep the cost down too, I think they will be about $25-$30 I cant remember at the mo. I will ask him if he can do one in linen.

Please let me know if you are interested in a suit. I think the more interest the more he will be willing to alter the suit.


And yes I will cast up some armour to go with it I have also cast up the hand plates. But I still need to redo the chest and alter the middle section...

 

[unsung hero]

Who's making it?

 

[Dorgmal Snow]

A friend put me on to him and I will give all the details out rest assured... he could be our savour for clothes but I dont want him to get bombarded with loads of orders for stuff until I know he is ok with it. I think the reason Bill went AWOL was the MASSIVE work load we gave him Does that make sense? I know how I feel some times when I am casting lots of bits up for folks it can get a bit overwhelming sometimes

 

[unsung hero]

Yeah, I understand that. I was just hoping that you had some contact with Bill or something. Wishful thinking, I guess.

 

[Dorgmal Snow]

ahh no despite my letters and emails I have not heard from Bill I do believe he is ok though...

Started on a wee bit of ware on the Pansy Cop armour (OWWW Nurse I love dollies)... added a few bits and got rid of the calculator on the chest

[Crimsonbob]

All u need now is a WWII german helmet and a gas mask. Do u want the white 1 u sent me back?

 

[Dorgmal Snow]

nah its all good! I have a helm and when I get the Stray Dog Panzer I will cast up his gas mask I think.

 

[big guy]

Well the linen idea sounds grand and if your looking for interested parties, OH YES PLEASE I`d go for one or two (knowing it`ll be coming with armour as well).

The PanzerCop is fantastic to Mark. Considering what you have recently been through mate talk about a Busy Boy.

Just don`t Burn yourself out okay

Mark, been catching up on some reading in this forum (still overwhelmed by everything as newbs usually are), and I just have to say, I found the story of your surgery in the wake of your stroke, and the subsequent amount of awesome work you've cranked out so very inspiring! I had a PFO when I was in my teens that was detected during a routine checkup. For those unfamiliar with it, PFO stands for Patent Foramen Ovale; the foramen ovale is a hole between the atria of the heart, a normal part of human development for babies still in the womb. It usually seals by birth, but for a small number of us, it remains open or 'patent'. In these instances, it usually causes a harmless murmur and seals by age 20 or so. For an even smaller number of people, that doesn't happen and may need to be closed via surgery, which is what I'm assuming you had done, Mark? (See, my nursing classes are paying off! ;->) I was lucky in that mine sealed on its own, but I do remember how afraid I was as a teen having a "hole in my heart" and knowing it could lead to eventual health problems if it didn't seal itself. I am absolutely hoping for the best for you - you were the first person to welcome me to the forums, so I have a warm fuzzy spot for ya!

As for the snowtrooper suit and armor, I am definitely interested! Oy, I'm starting to load up my plate with potential customs I want to work on this Summer - just about got the outfit parts together to bash together a M'iiyoom Ornith thingamathing. I have a few ideas, we'll see how they pan out. Still hung up on what to use for a holster, I'm trying to emulate the look of that boxy looking holster on the 3 3/4" Hasbro figure, but haven't encountered anything out there that really has the right flavor...might have to get creative on that one...hmmm

 

[TheGent]

Yep, after seeing those other pics of your snowy I really advice you to go for linen as the actual fabric is too thin looking for a snowy, frosty sorrounding, it also looks too loose on the figure.

Don't get me wrong, it's heavy-ass-awesome you found someone to do this! The asymmetrical chest thingy could be a second part to be put on the regular jumpsuit, so I'd love to see it become alive. Do give him the link pic of my last post, will ya?

And, I'll be getting a nervous wreck for sure if I NOT ask you, but will he be able to do some biker scout trooper cummerbunds and pouches? Vivisect is heavily missing as the regular ones are so NONORIGINAL ...

Hi Dorgs,

Will you be supplying a helmet with the snowie or do we mere mortals have to source that ourselves?

I think he looks great as is but the heavier material will give it a more rugged look.

Top dolly though
