The Beatles Official Project Thread

[thecapn]

Alright, you guys finally got me on board. I ordered the drum set, and the two guitars, and I ordered an extra John guitar to use the parts for making a Paul bass. Got the shoes too. So I'm all in, guys, sign me up for the heads!

Beatlemania strikes again.

I don't think this project could have been conceived just a few years ago as so much wasn't available. Wait till you see the detail on this stuff! I feel like a 1/6 Roadie waiting for sound check.

Wow very nice. I am feeling bad that I am so behind on this project.

Where can I order the drums?

 

[yodasan]

Good to see the drums are as good as in the ebay listing pictures - I'll
be picking up my set from the post office today.

pjam - where did you get the boots? and do you have a lead on the clothing?

Boots: minibarbie on ebay. 7toys also sold them. Clothing: I'm waiting on this as 1/6 suits are easily attainable, depends on what look you want, super early collarless Cardin or US Tour Gray with black collar or Black with black collar. Also, someone may want to make custom suits for us. I'll prolly go with black with dark black collar as they wore them on Sullivan and I liked the black suit look at the Royal Variety Hour when they performed for the Queen.

The problem is the small collars/high buttons. All the suits I know of are pretty low cut.

There are talented Tailors on the board who may do Custom suits for us. And I've seen a few suits that might work. But again, depends on the look, the body, etc. Gruff may be of help here, right Gruff?

Well, guys, I *THOUGHT* I had a brilliant idea. A lot of the Dragon military jackets could fit the bill, like this one:

https://www.monkeydepot.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=D3734-X209

Could be easy to mod that into the collarless grey version, or the Black-collared grey version. But the pants are made to be tucked into boots, and are therefore too short and cut wrong...but it's a start. Thoughts?

I may go for this as a default suit, capn... I like that the lapels are cut higher to the chest and it comes with a shirt and tie. I have bought other suits from them and the quality is pretty decent. The lapels are larger as most are today but there are other suits out there with smaller lapels. The problem is they are cut lower to the waist, these at least are cut high to the chest which is more like that era. Anyway, they have Gray ones too, I actually have a Gray suit on my Custom Scarecrow.

And just for fun, check out this Beatles Puppet Show I found on Youtube... and there are others.

Thanks for that, pjam. I think I'm going to wait on the suits until after the heads are available and then see where we are. I don't think these are going to disappear anytime soon. Who knows, a lot can happen between now and then. Maybe someone will do a run? Or another more appropriate suit becomes available.

Good plan.

Gruff may know someone who'll make a run of custom suits. If not, I'll use the suits I sourced.

I'm gonna get the drum set regardless of whether I ever get a Ringo. It's damn cool and a great price
