Re: [KING OF HISTORY] 1/6 custom-Travis-Fimmel-Viking-figure, Final stages
The arm wraps look awesome! I was just wondering how the project was going and then you posted the updates.
I will be finishing up all the arm wraps this weekend.
The belts are done, just need to do a final clear coat and add magnet.
On the prototype I wasn't as happy with the metal rings on the vest.
So I found a thinner gauge that were already soldered closed and
real silver. I just got them in today and they look great.
They are a little more money because they're not plated, but
the 23 gauge/3mm rings are much more in scale then the 18 gauge
I had used on the prototype figure. So the vest will look much better.
(Gauge is in reverse, the smaller the number, the bigger the thickness.)
Sounds like SKI is going to try to knock the paint apps
out sooner than later. He told me he's ready to go into
blending and detail work today. So now we're going to
see his magic at work...:lol
So I will spend the next few weeks getting everything done
and posting more updates. So all I have to do is pop on the
heads and do some final weathering.
SKI does have one of the bodies for skin tone match, so that's why they're only
5 in the other picture.
Remember, this is a grail for me and I won't settle on anything.
The new metal rings(3rd try), the arm wrap materials(4th try)
boots, shirt set up and more. I even had to modify the shield
handle because I kept breaking it off...(not your fault). I'll post pictures
of that tomorrow.
I'm getting this right, so you don't have to.
So it can be the grail for you as well.
With No futzing required...:hi5:
More to come.....
