IRIS: Raiders of the lost Ark (Closed)

[IndianaPaul]

The problem is the crotch needs to hang lower for the bagginess to work (see that ToD pic of Indy's pants). The looseness in the thighs is actually correct on Iris's latest, but the real pants just taper much more toward the shoe on Indy while Iris didn't do the tapering, she just let out the whole leg.

But rather than re-engineer the whole thing, having her pull back on the bagginess a bit is the better solution. Maybe somewhere between the last pictures and the new pictures?

Yep, this sounds good to me.

 

[davejames]

She's going to be so sick of us by the time this is over.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Indeed. That's why its better we volley back and forth with our OCD here first, come to a consensus, and then approach Iris.

I actually told her to do a between of the current and last look. Lol i doubt i want to spend money again to send a new body. So hopefully we can work out the correct size.

 

[Luisenigma1]

Sent this to iris.

 

[Luisenigma1]

truth is it should look better with Creg's new Alden boots i had him start. The HT boots are getting old.

 

[Cap'n Cook]

What? The body is being changed now?!

It's not don't really want to send it cause it costs a leg to do so. I will just try to explain it to iris to get the pants to be accurate as possible. I could probably send the TOd pants as it might not cost much as a small package.

 

[Cap'n Cook]

Great, thanks.

 

[Ecklectic]

Thanks for the new images.
I would be happy to get those pants as they are in the latest pics. I think they look fine.

The ideal fit would be the SS TOD pants which she can use for reference on the size and just tweek some things onto her pair. Also update: she asked me about the military hem which i told her I've sent her images on and that it's included on the pants.

I would think a seamstress of her experience and talent will be able to perfect the fit without the SS pants, right? Looking at pictures of the TOD figure in-hand, the pants look "okay".

There is a difference between a hot toys han solo body and the sideshow TOD body. The pants are more accurate on a HT body. I took images of the pants on the han body and although i pulled them down slightly they are perfect in size.

 

[davejames]

Yup the fit looks great right there. And understandable about not wanting to ship another body. Hopefully the pants will be loose enough around the waist like the TOD pants so they'll fit on more than just the Banner body (since they're supposed to hang a bit low anyway).

And honestly the Solo body isn't really ideal for Indy either, since the chest is way too big for Ford in Raiders.

Which is the good thing about the TOD pants they fit the same for any HT body.

TOD pants do look great in both those shots. But agree that if the waist gets tightened too much then they won’t be able to be pulled down far enough to look like that.

If the waist were opened up a bit and the bagginess reduced a bit from the latest version of what we saw that would allow it to bunch up a bit and look pretty good (at the moment the pants look really form fitting on the ass). Maybe just send tons of shots of the TOD pants on the Solo body if that’s the ideal fit.

I agree, for the photos with the pants in the natural lighting, the fitting looks a lot better. If people want it to bunch a little more at the bottom, they could just have the pants sit a little lower on the figure. As for the crotch/waistline area, I feel like it hangs a tad lower like that in the stills because the pants may have been a little too big on Ford, and it being held up mainly by the belt. At least that’s how most of my pants are now since I’ve lost weight.
For figures in this scale it’ll look weird if we widen the waistline of the pants, and squeeze it with a belt. So I suggest if you want it to hang, just put some small metal BB’s or ball bearing in the pockets and have your pants sit a little lower on the waistline. That should give it the hang you’re looking for there. That and a little water and distressing and you’re good to go.
This project is looking so good and everything is coming together so nicely. I love the different shades the pants have under different lighting. Great stuff here Luis!

 

[Luisenigma1]

Here is the pants again this time i tucked the shirt i have in and they are pulled down a bit. The waistline of the pants is wider and tighten with the belt it looks more closer to the films pants. I'm sure iris can tighten it just a bit but not alot so it keeps this look.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Those ToD pants look great -- even have the correct pleats.

 

[Timemeddler]

I agree with all that has been said here, chaps. No need to send anything else to Iris - I believe she can get this right!
