thanks for the suggestions fellas ... worked like a charm

Well i won't be getting my set until the end of the week, which sucks.

Thanks for the pics Jase25!

Headsculpt looks good but that shirt looks waaay too blue unfortunately. The CCToys figure shirt looks more accurate to the game, pants too. Might have to do a really watered down dark wash on that shirt to get it to the color I want.

Pants on kai is more accurate actually cc_toys is a little lighter. Though i agree the shirt on cc is accurate in color it's just the collar is wrong.

I like the Kai Pants for being more game accurate. I agreed the shirt is more blue but I plan on doing a Ritt dye job on it to darken it a hair. The CC toys I like the extra Hook, pouch, watch, climbing spike, I even like the boots better but haven?t been able to pop out the pegs from them to try it on the Worldbox body.

Careful with the rit dye i have another kai outfit i was using to bash my nate before the cc toys or kai full set was released, and it destroyed an older body i was using completely dying it blue if anything acrylic and water to darken it a bit should work better at least i believe that's the same trick kai and eleven used on the shirt's sweat stains.

CC Toys shirt is the better color but the shoulder seams are too wide. KAI pants is better color and it has the details right, the small coin pocket on the right, it's like that in the game. Both boots are not really accurate, but CC Toys is better. I think it's a reused of their Joel figure.

sweat stains on dark clothing can be mimic by using diluted acrylic black paint.

Good ideas, yeah the Ritt would stain the body so I?ll pass on that. Setting up my extra shirt in a acrylic dark grey watered down. Did a 5 minute soak and will let it air dry. The water based acrylic I can always wash if I get it too dark but will take it slow. I just want it a hint darker. Not completely dark.


I did upgrade my Sideshow Uncharted 3 figure with the Kai X Eleven Head with Worldbox AT016 body. Completely saves a poorly executed figure.

Great pics definitely an improvement over sideshow. I've thought of weathering the shirt further as in the game It's pretty dirty near the end.

I have no doubt we will see more outfit sets down the road with the different colored henleys and various levels of weathering/eye directions.

U1,U2,U3 outfit sets and sculpts kit. Lol

 

[Luisenigma1]

Just had this made for my nate. Though the belt is good on the set the buckle is inaccurate so here you go. I still have to ask them to change grapple strap because they got confused on that part other wise everything is fine.

 

[Luisenigma1]

This set is awesome! Besides the clothing the sculpt is dead on Nate. Man this tops CC_Toys i hope Kai considers doing everyone else like Elena, Sully, Sam.

Did a little work on Nat today.

First off as much as I dig the shirt it is too blue so I finally decided on a process of Coffee Staining the shirt. Which with hot water and detergent can be reversible if you do not like the results. I also made myself a side hook for the belt to hold the grappling hook rope. The rope is from the CC Toys figure.

Also I understand with those that said they do not like all the heads matching on the figures but until more get more heads released that actually look like Nathan I am cool with it. I rather have them actually all be the same and look like the character they are suppose to then be some nondescript versions that kinda look like him. Also I plan on doing one in a battle damaged motif to set it apart. So, far though I could not be happier with the work Kai did. It is the trifecta I have always dreamed of owning.

Here is what the coffee stain shirt ended up looking like.

That looks really good. It's now 95% accurate. Lol even the staining is very good where it gives the shirt a weathered look. I might do this just to darken the shirt or even just black watered down acrylic. Best set that has ever come out.

It?s also has a great coffee aroma. [emoji23] LOL. Smells like Nat was looking for pirate treasure in a Starbucks.

I can confirm that the John Wick hands are a good skin tone match to the Worldbox body.
