Re: [KING OF HISTORY] 1/6 custom figure All payments are in!!!!!
I've been watching the season 3 bluray and I'm so pumped again for this figure!
I also saw that the shields do have a hand hole. Torsten's shield didn't have a leather back and there was a hole in it. That would've made things so much easier.

Where have you been the last 6 months..:lol
Sorry, there are no extra full figures left.
At this point you'll have to try to part one together.
I think the accessories are still available from the people who make them. Look on first post for info and contact them.
You can buy the unpainted head here: https://www.sideshowcollectors.com/forums/interest-threads/163924-king-history-1-6-custom-unpainted-figure-heads.html
And I have some extra pant leather, so I'm going to have
Geewhiz make some more pants for me, and a few more shirts, so I can try a few different looks.
So there might be a few shirts and pants available, but not until Feb or March.
And I can always make the belt and boots for you(pretty much got that down).
Sorry, that's the best hope I can give you.
Hope that helps.
Ike

Re: [KING OF HISTORY] 1/6 custom figure All payments are in!!!!!
It's getting into crunch time now.
Don't know if everything will be back to me by the 1st week
of December. But I'm pushing. I paid Geewhiz an extra $50
to Fedex the outfits as soon as they're done. Ski is starting on
the heads and hopefully Mudblood will have the shields ready too.
This is exciting...:yess::hi5::yess:

Re: [KING OF HISTORY] 1/6 custom figure All payments are in!!!!!
Looking awesome!:rock
Hey, I've looked back this thread and saw you've posted templates for the outfit.
Did you make these up? Or do you know of a source showing the props somewhere? specifically, I'm wondering if you've seen sources where they show the blue shirt he's wearing in the promo pics. That's the look I'm going for, but I'm at a loss for the part that's under the armor. I can make guesses, but if there is a source.... To give an example, I would never have guessed that the pants had 6 eyelets. So guesses or actual reference material?

Re: [KING OF HISTORY] 1/6 custom figure All payments are in!!!!!
I made those templates myself based off pictures, screen shots and body I was using.
Anything I couldn't see, I used my best judgement on. Waist of pants I couldn't get a screen
shot of. So that was based on how the other outfit parts were made. So a cross stitch and
a tie at the top seemed logical for the times.
That blue short sleeve shirt is what goes on top of the brown style shirt, 3 layers.
But much different fabric(looks like leather close up) for sure and heavily embroidered.
There was no way for me to get that type of fabric(looks padded almost) or to see all
the embroidery, so the brown was the logical choice.
Best I can do for you.

Re: [KING OF HISTORY] 1/6 custom figure All payments are in!!!!!
ah.. Thought as much, but thank you anyway. Looks like I'll have to make up for what's not visible then!
Another question, I see that on your Porto, the back of the armor is just one part. I seem to remember it was two parts as in the photo below, so did he wear a one part back plate (or whatever that's called!) at some point?

Re: [KING OF HISTORY] 1/6 custom figure All payments are in!!!!!
No, he only had the one like that.
But it was just too much of hassle to have another lace up in back. Not practical at all design wise.
So I made a judgement call on that. But I will be doing the patch and metal ring work on the back.

Re: [KING OF HISTORY] 1/6 custom figure, Final stages
Got the notice that the outfits shipped today.
Even though they're shipping via fedex, they'll still take about 4 working days
to get to my door. So that won't leave me a whole lot of time during
my week off to work on them.
But I'll try my best to get at least one vest and figure done(assuming I get the heads back in time).
And of course once I get that first one done, I can improve on the
process and hopefully go faster with each one after.
Then we'll go from there. Next time off is Christmas to New years.
So realistically, only a few of you will get your figure this year.
And it will be based on the order paid in full, which is listed in the first post.
Thanks everyone for being involved. This is still so exciting for me to
make this figure happen. Been wanting to do it for 2 years.
Can't wait to get started on assembly and bringing this bad boy to life....:yess::hi5::yess:

Great news. Will shields be going to you as well, or those are coming direct? Thanks for all the great communication on this process.

Re: [KING OF HISTORY] 1/6 custom figure, Final stages
Shields will be coming direct. I'll be sending PMs this week for shipping addresses. I still have them in PayPal but it's usually easier for me to confirm on here.

Re: [KING OF HISTORY] 1/6 custom figure, Final stages
I think the shields will be done tomorrow night. Been working on them since 11am. I would've had them done, but I ran out of super glue. I thought 3 bottles would've been enough, but nope. I misjudged the amount I'd have to use.

Couldn't resist that airplane line.
