"The Good, the Bad & the Ugly" Custom Figure Project

[S.Pettersenart]

Yes MwNN, one and the same and thanks. As for tips on the vest: I used the back side "out" of a thin leather. Found a small nap fleece for the fur, used a leather needle, thread, and fabric glue to piece it together. Then I weathered it with first a tea stain then a mixture of acrylics. The more disgusting the better. As I'm sure you know his vest is pretty crude and nasty looking. Kind of like a small animal crawled up on his back and died.

Do you have more customs? It could be great to see more.
Cheers.

Yes, I've completed a few and I'm currently working on a couple now. I'll have to gather up some pics to share. peace.

I hope you don't mind Velvet Morning, but I also did a little photo manipulation of your Blondie sculpt. I think yours has the potential to be the best Clint sculpt out there with a little alteration. Anyway I moved the eye a little and also flipped the asymetry of the mouth so the side with the cigar is higher. Hopefully it is helpfull to you.

No disrespect intended to Velvet Morning and his very obvious talent, but personally I don't see Clint much in the sculpt. But it still looks great as an interpretation or stylized version of Blondie though.

Velvet, you make it look like Tyler's manipulation and you can name your price. That would be the best I have seen.

Thanks,

It's wrong to let this slip to page 2, I got my Blondie on Saturday but did not get him together until lat night and I'm super impressed by it. The craftmanship is top notch, 100 percent professional this is as good as customs get. I'll have to get pics up maye tomorrow but I'm very happy with it overall, the only minor gripe I may have if i have any is the choice of wash for the jeans, I always thought that Clint wore a very dark blue jean, if not black but these are quite gray with a white-ish wash. Still look great but i think they should have been a dark solid blue. Regardless I'm totally satisfied with this figure, one of the best things I have in my collection. I'm so scared of something happening it him or getting lost but I do love it.

Had to post just a couple big ones to showcase that magnified at like 1000 percent this thing looks phenominal, seriously what custom looks like this? Simply jaw dropping!

[Rainman's The Bad... Updated News]

Rainman is working on the spur for "The Bad".
Now, it can be spun...

 

[Entropy]

That is super cool. I'm sure he's still working on it, but the spurs look uneven. Plus, I thought The Bad's boots were black?

It is just a sample.
He will probably change the color and make even the spurs.

I did have to modifiy my slim shoulder truetype quite alot. I shaved alot more of the chest and stomach down in order to get the vest to close, and not seem like it would pop open and tear.

Just got out the dremel and went to town on my true type that Clint is on. You are definitely right - you have to shave down A LOT to get the vest to close nicely. But the job is done and now my Clint is perfect

Just need the head

 

[Reinhardt]

Nice job KBA. So did you also use a slim shoulder? what exactly did you shave down?

 

[Raymond F.]

I to had to shave down the body a LOT. I decided to use a regular caucasian and not a slim shoulder but shave down the shoulders myself. I have a few truetypes laying around being replaced my slim shoulders and if im shaving things on it anyway I'd rather do it to an old one and leave the new ones in tact. Keep in mind the slim shoulders have slimmer chests too. So it means you'll be shaving the chest even more. I shaved it A LOT, like a lot and the vet still fits tight. I shaved the pecs down all the way almost, the shoulders obviously, a LOT off the lats(sides) and a lot off the belly and lower back as well. It made his toro loose but no looser than the current slim shoulder truetypes anyway, regardless to ensure there would be no funky bending and shelf falling and breaking my most exclusive item ever and forever plummiting me into deep depression, i stuck some sculpy in there to tighten it up again.

The legs remain untouched, the jeans are tailored perfectly for them This is why i don't reccomend people use a slim build truetype for this.

Got my Clint on a HTTT Narrow Shoulder.

Fookin' awesome!

Thanks to Rainman for one of the coolest figures available, and many thanks to Zuno... you the man!

 

[breakersrevenge]

[Sick8oy]
