Re: [IDM Customs] Future Boy Part2 Mags,Hoverboard,Outfit Set *Taking Deposits*

Ok, another update on deposits received:

- nexus
- Something Sexy
- kgrhoad
- tbay
- ronwlim

I also want to thank philmah for sending me a link to this figure regarding a possible material for Marty's jacket:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/271199093917?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2648

I know Mightq is the seller of the figure, but does anyone know who the custom artist is that made that Superman figure? The texture on the blue fabric suit looks pretty good and is in scale and maybe we can use it for Marty's jacket. I know it's stretchy, but maybe we can make a layer underneath it. The grain/gridded texture is the hardest part to nail down.

Thanks in advance if anyone knows. If the custom artist is on this forum maybe we can contact him for help with the fabric.

More on the fabric:

Thanks guys! the suit fabric was a golf shirt I found a Kohl's. I made all the other stuff the same day the photos leaked online but could not find a suitable fabric so I actually drew it out in photo shop with all the muscle enhancements (like the spider-man suit) to have printed but ultimately decided not to do it that way.

Then I ran across this shirt a Kohl's, it was a bit lighter but still a muted blue and it worked out perfectly. I’m not going to sell these here, I may put this one on ebay and make another one for myself with some improvements.

i'm with Laney and Philman...the fabric IxMAGICx1 showed is pretty damn good...:)
 
Re: [IDM Customs] Future Boy Part2 Mags,Hoverboard,Outfit Set *Taking Deposits*

Welcome to the forum IxMAGICx1 and thanks tbay for contacting him.

That fabric looks pretty good. John, maybe he could send you a sample of that fabric to see how it looks in hand.

Thanks Guys.

Hi guys. tbay sent me here from the replica prop forum. I might just have what you're looking for. Last year I was wanting to make a small 2015 jacket for myself just to display. I planned to use this material. It would be perfect for a scale figure. It's light weight and easy to sew with as well.

Now, this isn't latex but for a scaled down version it would look pretty good.

I have access to an endless supply of this material on a daily basis. Literally in my hands.

Please let me know if I can help in any way. Thanks.

Re: [IDM Customs] Future Boy Part2 Mags,Hoverboard,Outfit Set *Taking Deposits*

Thanks for the welcome! I'd be happy to send a sample out so you can feel it, examine it and sew it. Let me know.
 
Re: [IDM Customs] Future Boy Part2 Mags,Hoverboard,Outfit Set *Taking Deposits*

Not sure how I missed IxMAGICx1's post!

PM sent! Thanks Ted for setting this up and big thanks to IxMAGICx1's offer to help! We really appreciate it! You can't imagine how many hours we've spent looking at fabrics and searching for this thing! :D
 
Re: [IDM Customs] Future Boy Part2 Mags,Hoverboard,Outfit Set *Taking Deposits*

No problem! I'm as excited as you guys. I've wanted a mini jacket for a long time. I hope this material is the solution. Thanks again to tbay for sending me here. You guys make amazing stuff.
 
Re: [IDM Customs] Future Boy Part2 Mags,Hoverboard,Outfit Set *Taking Deposits*

Deposits for both the Mags & the Hoverboard have just been sent. Please put me down for a Future Boy HS, too.
 
Re: [IDM Customs] Future Boy Part2 Mags,Hoverboard,Outfit Set *Taking Deposits*

Hi Guys,

Star Puffs has brought out to our attention a good point about the Paypal fees, which should be included in the final price of each of the items in this project and not as a separate fee or force people to send payment as a gift.

Based on this, we will increase the final price of the mags and hoverbard as follows:

The mags final pricing will be $55 for the pair unpainted. ($23 deposit)

The hoverboard will be $75 and casted in a pink color. ($33 deposit)

These new prices include shipping and Paypal fees.

The final price for the outfit will be announced later. For those that already sent the deposit for both, Thank you! you don't have to send any additional money for the deposits at this moment, the rest can be covered at the second/final payment.

I hope that you guys understand that we are doing this in order to keep a safe and easy transaction for everybody.

Let us know in case you have any questions.

Thanks!

Awesome! Thanks for joining the boards and sharing your secrets here, that material is fantastic. Are you planning to put a figure together too or are you just going to buy the jacket?

Can't wait to see the finished product John!

I absolutely plan to put a figure together. I am completely new to this though so I'm not sure how is go about getting the head painted.
 
Re: [IDM Customs] Future Boy Part2 Mags,Hoverboard,Outfit Set *Taking Deposits*

Sample material is now enroute to IDMCustoms. Fingers crossed folks.
 
Re: [IDM Customs] Future Boy Part2 Mags,Hoverboard,Outfit Set *Taking Deposits*

Have the guys who sent 'gift' and covered fees themselves been considered with all of this?

Re: [IDM Customs] Future Boy Part2 Mags,Hoverboard,Outfit Set *Taking Deposits*

Shaun, the deposits made so far didn't include the fees and shipping so it shouldn't matter. Star Puffs made a good point about not making it separate since it would violate Paypal's policy so we're just trying to follow their guidelines.

I think it's the best approach as well since people aren't surprised by it later on when it comes time to ship. I've had several people ask me about that before too so I'll update any future projects with the same approach and just include everything as a flat price to include the shipping and fees in one final price. It's less confusing that way too.
