Looking forward to monday. Hoping to pick up one of the 5 clothing sets

It seems we're getting ever closer to the definitive GBU set. Just a few more details and we're there. I'm especially looking forward to seeing a full figure of Tuco. I wonder which "version" of him it'll be...

 

[Entropy]

Tuco's graveyard finale outfit is a must. Not only does it look better than the desert outfit sombrero, it will match the other 2 for the big standoff scene. His distressed jacket might be tricky.

Hello all, I love rainman´s work, I bought just some days ago one of the last Lee Van Clef sets and I can’t wait to touch it with my own hands, but I can’t afford a good one set, at least not at this moment. So I still work in my Blondie project.

Here I share some pictures of my new sheepskin vest. I think finally I get one very close to the one that Clint Eastwood uses in the 3 movies.

It’s made with authentic lambskin leather. The piece I bought was beige so I painted of the colour you can see with airbrush. I used brown smoke and a mixture of dark brown and black.

I only need to sew some details to finish it. This one it’s made for sideshow body, now I’m working in new one that could fit in a hot toys truetype body.

But this is hard and difficult to make, it’s taking me a lot of time to get the correct sizes of the correct pattern, and when I get it, to make one it’s very difficult, because the scale difficult to do it right, but I think it's worth it.

I hope it helps for new references.

Thank you!!

I think now the poncho fits better. This sheepskin vest is narrower that the first one I made.
Thanks!!

That vest looks great litial!
It's the best one I've seen for a custom figure.
The details you airbrushed on are outstanding.
Looks like you really studied the films.
Great job!

Thank you!! MwNN, to tell you the truth I´ve been watching many pictures and I made many tries trying to get the correct pattern. After that you need to build it and...as I just I told, it takes a lot of work and time, because even I bought a very thin leather piece, that one it´s very hard to sew it (for the scale). But finally I think it works.

Here is a great figure by HanIndy over at OpenRange forums.
He did a killer base for his GBU figures. Check it out:

interesting work. But if you compare the picture and the figure..different colour, differents measurements...it needs many things and details to be the figure some of us are looking for. But its a good point to begin to work. Very interesting I think.

 

[Cap'n Cook]

Humph.

Looks like I will have to miss this. Out all day today. Good luck guys!

I really wanted a Blondie. Unfortunately I saw my gas bill and had to pay that instead. It's a shame. I think this will be the best out there.

 

[Reinhardt]

i missed it. sold out in less than a minute. congrats to all who purchased it!

 

[LordAzrael]

Managed to snag one. Minor heart attack when it prompted for all my details again even though I was logged into my account.

Edit: I mean the clothing set. Already got a head with Small Studio's for painting so that's all I need.
