The Night HE Came Home: Show Us Some MYERS!

[amstel]

Fantastic job! I too painted a Myers head recently and I'm rookie painter. Can't paint eyes for my life and get the skin by the eyes was a nightmare. So I just blacked it all out but those eyes look great.
You going to hair them? That's something I haven't the slightest idea how to lol

Thank you!! Yeah, same here I really can't paint the eyes either and I am not even going to try! All I hear how pain in the a** that is. Instead I bought those eyes decals from a member on here, hunterdnrc. Those really helped and makes a big difference. Beto's sculpt was my first one I painted and that's why the eyes were blacked out. When I received the decals in the mail, then I tried it on Madbug's retooled H1 and it was so easy and simple. Saved tons of time. Oh boy yeah I'm going to try and hair them. I received instructions on how to hair a sculpt. If you want those instructions I can email them to you. Wish me luck on hairing them and I hope I do good!

Here's some of my wip pics of two Myers sculpts -Madbug's retooled H1 and Beto's sculpt.
Keep in mind I never painted before and these two were my first sculpts I ever painted.

Those are good comparison pics, I think what lets Betos final product sculpt down is not so much the sculpt but the hair is too long on it. When u look at it without the hair, its quite a good sculpt. But not as good as Madbugs IMO.

Thank you my friend!

Anyone know where I could get more Myers coveralls or if you have an extra one to sell? I PM'd Lu and Beto the other day and theirs are all gone that were priced at $100 but Lu said they could make some more at $150. I'm not going to spend that much. Some help here would be appreciated. Thanks!

Damn...$100 for 1/6th coveralls?

I gotta stop complaining about 1/1 prices lol.

Yep $100 is the going price for those coveralls. Ridiculous huh?

 

[ASTRO13ZOMBIE]

It's weird that there's no decent & readily available 1/6 coveralls out there.(Besides limited runs I mean)
Seems like it would be an obvious choice for a company like wild toys....

 

[amstel]

Yeah its frustrating that coveralls are hard to find. I really am tired of waiting for those limited runs. Like you said a site like wild toys should have thought to have some available. Myers is a popular horror icon to build a figure based on h78

I can buy 4 pairs of real 1/1 scale coveralls for the price of 1/6 scale ones?

Yeah...it sucks! I still can't get over how expensive some of 1/6 clothes are! I think its ridiculous.

Maybe 5 to 6 pairs of my 1/1 they're only like 20 to 25 bucks.

Yep the coveralls I would imagine next to the mask/head sculpt would be the most expensive piece for a Myers figure, so expect to pay big bucks for them amstel.

CU does not sell individual pairs but you could try the member here by the name of JAKC. I have no clue about his prices but he does custom work and he recently did a pair of Myers coveralls.

You guys should give sewing them a try, then maybe you'll understand why the cost so much.

I can imagine a lot of customizers who specialize in Myers hate doing them and I think the price reflects that.

 

[ZsaszSays]

Coveralls are just so complex and theres so many different layers and folds. I would sew 1:1 coveralls for 50 bucks because pretty much everything lifesize is a lot easier.

 

[DarkMario616]

If I need how to sew or using a sewing machine, I think I could figure out an economical way to make some coveralls Then again I'm sure it'd look like **** lmao.

 

[amstel]

I can't for the life of me sew let alone make a coveralls! I can sew in a button on my shirt or whatever but that's it!

Nope nope nope.
