Some pictures I have just uploaded to my Instagram.
He is all stock. I just did a couple of little tweaks to get him where I wanted. I think you've gotta have some of the blue under shirt showing through the green tunic.!! So I kinda trapped the green tunic with the belt at the back to separate it at the front.
I also undid those loops either side of his ribs and tucked them under the belt, I like the idea behind it but they just looked out of scale and wouldn't sit right.
I removed the wire from the cloak as I felt it added unnecessary bulk to the already packed in neck area and I loosened the quiver strap which goes over his left shoulder, now there is more room on the back of the figure for the quiver to move more freely around and it also helps by giving you a bit more room where his hair/hood/quiver is. Not only that, but it places the brooch on his chest in a more accurate position.
I also swapped the knife tabbards round. As they were inaccurate as many have pointed out.
Also, the stitching coming loose on the cloak at the brooch area is kind of a blessing in disguise (after my OCD hating that it happened) as I can now place the brooch pointing sideways rather than down which is also accurate.
Just a couple of little things I think help this figure out of the box! It really is awesome. I can't wait for the slim aragorn.
With the upper chest strap being repainted a lighter shade of brown and a hair repaint this thing will be pretty unbeatable in my eyes, save for the awesome hair work like Raymond f. Did
This was my post when I first got him dioramamaker, I know what you mean exactly bud, loosening the straps (undoing the glue and just letting them hang) really helps.
