The first will be going out this week, and second will be the following week : )
cape removal video coming up
Just a quick question. Do you push those pins that hold on the cape right into the body itself? Or just behind the suit?
So is the outer collar piece glued onto the suit? I don't think you specified in your post
Outer collar remove tutorial (Part 3)
1. pull the outer neck collar frame off the suit slowly and carefully
2. measure where you would like the collar frame to set and draw a small lines across the collar bone area (then cut it across, but be sure to leave enough space to glue the collar frame back on)
*Also to be on the save side, be sure to crazy glue both seamline stitching, so the stitches wont fall apart
3. hand sew the back together
4. hallow out the collar frame
Hi Tony, nice tutorials & custom cape. Guess you got a huge orders coming to your way. Congratrs.
OK, I think the hallow of the collar frame can be excuse as I found the collar is quite thin actually & it's looks awlful with an opening shown like that since collectors seeking for perfection.
Just a friendly suggestion, hope you don't mind. All the best.

Thanks for the tutorial Tony.
Question for ya, some people only go so far as removing just the inner plastic collar.
It seems to make a nice difference already.
Do you think that is ok, or do you highly recommend taking off both inner and outer collar pieces and hollowing out the outer piece?
Is the difference significant?
the reason why I took the inner collar out and also hallow the outer collar was because I want the cape to sit as flat on his trapezius as possible. The outer collar has this fake plastic layer of the suit, that was not necessary to me nor does the suit need any more bulkiness. Then again, its really up to how far customizer want to go with all the work. I myself want to get as close to screen accurate as possible, but that also involve with risk of tearing the suits apart if don't know what we are doing.....
How hard was it to sew back together in the back? Also, when you say glue the seamline, did you just glue the seamline in front and back or did the sides come frayed as well from pulling the collar piece? It looks like the small tears in the suit (that will be covered by the cape) could become problematic over time.
Yea, you're right.
Seeing the easier mod these last couple of days, I was
Close to being satisfied.
But seeing yours look as flat like that on the shoulder area, I think
Eventually, it will nag at me as I want the cape to be as flat as possible on the shoulders.
So, I'm gonna do your mod.
Thanks again buddy for the tutorial.
Your instructions are clear enough.
I do have another question. Since you usually measure each cape to the figure to make sure each cape is accurate,
I'm not planning on doing the height mod as I'm fine with his height, will the cape still be touching the floor?
