Re: UPDATED:HT Nostromo Kane : Fabric Spacesuit - Modified Flashlight

I'm guessing they'll be very expensive but worth it.

Can't wait to see the finished product.

Site is super flakey tonight. Took me almost an hour just to be able to post this one comment. Keeps saying I'm not logged in even though I see the "Welcom tinister" message at the top and can access my private messages.

Figured out that I can comment if I go to the very first page of the thread and add a comment. Weird

Re: UPDATED:HT Nostromo Kane : Fabric Spacesuit - Modified Flashlight

I wasn't happy with how the flashlight looked before. Didn't like how the cable attached to the back - it looked tacked on. And it didn't feel authentic, so I decided to spend more time on it.

This is the final flashlight. I sculpted on a fixture for the cable to attach to at the bottom.

I also figured out that the handle in the movie is rigid and metallic - so I made a metal handle instead of the molded strap from before.

Much happier with this version. The side profile looks way cooler and more authentic.

This is the revised cowl. I didn't like the stud details I had before. They were just metal chain links I had laying around. Looked tacked on.

So I made a bunch of tiny teeny studs. They match the movie details much better.

I want it.

And no, my message is not too short.

Re: UPDATED:HT Nostromo Kane : Fabric Spacesuit - Modified Flashlight

Hey Abake. I will definitely try to make time to make some of the custom parts available. My fiance kind to convinced me to do it. For the suits - I think I will offer the option of Kane or Dallas colors. I'll post an interest link soon.

Thanks. Tin

WHAT!!!!????

Available to us!? What does this mean? Are you teasing me?

I officialy hate my Hot Toys Dallas and Kane now. Thanks Tin.

Exactly. I just looked at them last night and thought: hmmmmm, not so bueno.

Re: UPDATED:HT Nostromo Kane : Fabric Spacesuit - Modified Flashlight

Tin, if you are going to going to be doing some more of these please put me down.

Your Kane sculpt is truly a sight to behold, let alone the suit itself!

Re: UPDATED:HT Nostromo Kane : Fabric Spacesuit - Modified Flashlight

Thanks Jmek!

I'll work out the details within the next few weeks and post an interested thread. I'll most likely have casts of the gloves, boots, and headsculpt available for sure. Regarding the HS: I'll have to determine if I will just make a version with sculpted cowl available. Or whether I'll have time to have a head that comes with a fabric cowl available too. Depends on demand.

The suit I will make available in very limited numbers - and will give priority to you guys who have frequented this thread.

And I'll provide a thread with instructions on any needed assembly - as well as tips on the other mods I made to the figure that you can do on your own.

Stay tuned.

Tin

Thanks guys as always for the compliments.

I can't wait to finish him up this weekend. I'm away on vacation all of next week - so I want to try to finish him by this Sunday.

Amazing display or artistry and hard work.

The only thing that could make this cooler is if you scratchbuilt a Nostromo foot to stand him next to....

It would be the size of a Ford F150 truck! I'll get started right away (need to order way more MagicSculpt)
