Re: rfr5671 Custom works

Thanks. A friend gave me that body from an X-Men Sabertooth, forget the maker. When somebody gives me something, I usually have no problem chopping things up. It's harder for me to do when I buy them.

Re: rfr5671 Custom works

Another start to 1 of my many projects. Tyler's custom robe. This will probably take about a month to complete, each coffee cup is meticulously hand stitched like miniature needle point, then stitched onto the robe. This was my first attempt. This cup took about 2 hours of strained eye sight to complete and I need 10 altogether. The robe has almost been resolved too.

Re: rfr5671 Custom works

dang you're going all out on this one,
the door is an awesome idea
how did you find the little things that go on the door?!

Re: rfr5671 Custom works

Door parts are made from styrene and the handle was made by building up apoxie on a round rod, chucking it up in the dremel and turning it like a lathe. Painted with silver and weathered. When I went to buy a base, I found one that fit the door dimensions exactly, but it didn't give me any room to make the door frame. I really wanted to make the lock with the little sliding chain.

Pic of door from movie.

Final pics of door, still need to finish Tyler though. Took a few liberties on my design, not exactly accurate.

Re: rfr5671 Custom works

Another project I stupidly started before finishing anything else.
Jack's robe.

Fabric is as close as I could find.

Jack's flip flops.

Re: rfr5671 Custom works

Thanks Daniel, I've got a bunch of your heads I need to start painting now. I used the bald version on this bash. Actually when I get your version of Norton, he'll be gracing another dio wearing the robe and flip flops.

Re: rfr5671 Custom works

I just read this, I guess it's taking me more than a month, I'm so all over the place with my projects. It might take me another 2 months.

Re: rfr5671 Custom works

Wow!!! Lovin' the Fight Club stuff, all of it! I'm a huge fan. Can't wait to see the finished work.

Many years ago, I made some custom 7-inch Fight Club figures. I sold a set on Ebay and the guy that won them was the assistant art director on the film!

Re: rfr5671 Custom works

Thanks guys. Fight Club is like my favorite movie of all time, so I'm putting more time than usual to try to get them done right.

Re: rfr5671 Custom works

Re: rfr5671 Custom works

Thanks Greggo. I had my first attempt at Jack's robe last night. I used the pattern I made for Tyler's robe, but I didn't account for the thinner material and smaller HT Slim body, so it's way too big. Also had a go at the flip flops.
