You are most welcome. Just sourced leather cord for Harmonica.
As a matter of interest, where did you source your clothing for Harmonica?
I had some pieces commissioned and tried painting the coat. Pants and boots parted out on eBay and Military stores.
Unfortunately, I put everything away somewhere and have been searching for them for the past few days.

I can image your plight, to mislay pieces can be annoying to say the least. I had my clothing set made by GeeWhiz, expensive but weii made and correct cloth for coat, however they did not take into account Mr Bronson's height, I was somewhat surprised they overlooked this aspect. Rig made in leather following research, Colt close match but may improve, boots initially Battlegear but changed to Redman Toys, Harmonica by Mr Barlow. I have not been able so far to bring myself to put a bullet hole in the left shoulder, that would mean more weathering and the elusive carpet bag. Harmonica would not then require rig because he was not wearing it at that point. At the end of the day my finished figure infact all figure representations are inspired, makes life easier...easy to say but not do.

GeeWhiz clothing looks great! I haven't been able to pull the trigger (lol) on the set yet. Frank's clothing looks outstanding. I would like someone to do an update to Henry Fonda head sculpt and possibly do Cheyenne too. I have the coat that was offered when Art Figs worked on the customs. It was a nice attempt.
I thought your Harmonica looks fantastic!
The carpet bag would be a cool accessory. But then you'd need Jack Elam, Woody Strode and Al Mulock for the opening sequence.

Yes all those things would be scary money, maybe the Station Master too.

I shall be happy to settle for Harmonica, my existing figure is better than I hoped for, he has a small folding knife inside jacket pocket too.

Claudia Cardinale what a beauty.

Clothing options?
Not sure yet, it may be down to individuals to source. A number of interested parties already have clothing. The headsculpt and any other parts are likely to be a short run. I plan to acquire the painted sculpt and then to decide about other parts.

The rooted hair sculpt is presently in progress.

I checked with Geewhiz on the pricing, they want:

Includes:

• Jacket with Custom Print

• Cream Colored Pants

• Orange Henley

Tailoring & Fabrication Commission Price is US$425
Estimated Fedex Shipping is US$95

$95 to ship 2oz worth of goods is insane.

At the very least, a quality Harmonica sculpt (this one) is the jumping off point. I've literally had the basic outfit stored away for years now. The one piece of that is falling short is the unique coat. The one I have is a little too thick and thus out of scale. I was able to source the rest of the outfit elsewhere.

Latest image of Harmonica with rooted hair, more to follow.

Hat is being adjusted to show more defined nicks at crown and brim.

Boots in progress.

Hello my friend, Give me a few days, I shall try to help you. By the way I have no custom skill in fact no skill at all. The Harmonica sculpt project is the work of two individuals that do.
