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

[litial]

I think it could be fantastic if many people ask him for doing Gian María Volonte, the bad from fistfull of dollars and for a few dollars more.

@MwNN: any news on the ponchos ?

 

[MwNN]

Hi okieh 2, I haven't had much luck finding the right fringe yet. The ones I bought are either too long and white. I'm hoping to find something a little more off white or ivory in color to match the print. I'll let you know when I get something ready. Thanks for the interest.

MwNN try dipping the fringe in clothing dye. I did some white fake wool in a tan and it looked more ivory. Just a thought.

 

[MwNN]

Thanks Hondo, I'll give it a try. It just so happens I bought a pot from Big Lots, just for dyeing. Any special tips for dyeing fabrics?

 

[hondo]

Experiment it doesn't always turn out how you think it will.

 

[okieh 2]

I used to dye fabric with regular acrylics - worked out pretty nice although the fabric gets a little stiff

 

[MwNN]

I am looking forward to experimenting and giving both methods a try.

I like the head. It´s not really blondie but the head it´s very nice. If you "shave" the figure it´s a really nice Dirty Harry head.

Hi all,

Finally, Rainman (another talented Korean figure artist) finished the "Gunman M1873".
He sculpted, painted and customized the head sculpt, hat, pipe, shirts, vest, necktie, pants, long coat, leather boots, belt with holster, brass bullets, pistol and winchester M1873.

I hope you like his works.

Thanks,

That is one of the best 1/6th scale figures ever. Be sure to trim off the tip of his middle finger.

Rainman did outstanding job, Zuno!
Colonel Mortimer looks great!
So...when do we order?
Thanks!

 

[Reinhardt]

very cool Zuno. Few more questions:

1. When will the regular edition be on sale?
2. Do you have a price for the regular edition?
3. Will the regular edition be limited as well?
3. Do you have examples of Rainman and Studio DF's paint work?

Thanks!

Answers:
1. After finishing the pre-order.
2. There is no regular edition like the limited full set.
- The Clothing full set will be $260.
(shirts, vest, necktie, pants, long coat, leather boots, belt with holster, brass bullets, pistol and winchester M1873)
- The Clothing full set + head set will be $350.
(head sculpt, hat and pipe)
3. No.
4. It won't be quite different between Rainman's and Studio DF's paint work.
But the eye-sight will be different randomly by Rainman and he will put his autograph and serial number after painting for the 15 limited edition.
The color of the painting on the head sculpt is the same color we used on the image. Check the image on the web.
But painted Head sculpts can be slightly different from the image because they are hand painted.

Thanks,

Reinhardt, don't worry about the painting - Rainmans paintwork is top, especially the way he paints eyes.

 

[Reinhardt]

Thanks Zuno and amacord. I was asking because I just can't afford the $600 dollar limited figure. I can do the regular version though. I wanted to make sure that Studio DF's paint work was as good as Rainman's. the paint up on the site looks outstanding.

So Zuno, is the difference between the limited and the regular the following?
1. hot toys body included with limited
2. head paint by Rainman with lmited
3. secret accessory with limited
4. rainman autograph and limited to 15
