IRIS: Raiders of the lost Ark (Closed)

[cpoll36]

You could also try some small magnets to hold the collars down. Disceetly attached under the collars.

Thanks, guys. Hate to have to resort to glue on a custom jacket but water treatment and maybe the magnets should get it close to where it needs to be.

when people say "water treatment" I've not done that before.

Is it literally what the name suggests?

Submerge the whole jacket?

Spray it with water from a bottle?

and what? press it and wrinkle it ?

On the figure or off?

Basically wet the garments, put them on the figure and "sculpt" them so they fit and "fall" right. Does wonders to get rid of the sometimes awkward fitting of scale clothing. Also creates nice wrinkles, etc. Though with high end clothing runs, you often don't need to do this as they're tailored so well. However it can't hurt, and it's become almost standard for most figures I own. Just makes the clothing look better overall.

Thanks for that advice, may give that a try, especially if Iris doesn't manage to get the collar to sit a little flatter. How do you suggest to wet the garment? immerse the whole garment or is that overkill? Just spray some water on it with a bottle ?

 

[Mr.E]

Literally, run it under the tap in the sink, wring it out and put it on the figure. Pretty simple. I would be a little cautious with the jacket, as its not a traditional cotton/linen type material. However, Iris was able to get nice wrinkles out of it, so I have faith in it's durability. If collar can't be adjusted with this method, I would suggest a little liquid starch, or a dab of glue.

Double-sided tape might also be strong enough to hold the collar down, while not causing any lasting damage. I use the stuff all the time for my outfits, when simple futzing isn't enough.

Anyone on here have a Raiders belt + holster they're looking to unload?

 

[Luisenigma1]

So got revised image of the pockets. The collar can't be fixed so you guys will have to make due with what we have.

I like tinkering with my custom figures anyways Luis!

I've been wondering about something. What does Iris do with all the previous clothing that has been made for this? Does she just bin it or will she be sending it to yourself?

 

[TonTon]

Looks good. I assume you’ve already mentioned the missing buttons on the shirt pockets and shoulders?

 

[Mr.E]

Looks good to me.

 

[davejames]

Yup jacket looks great.

 

[Timemeddler]

All looks fantastic to me!

 

[Wor-Gar]

Looks great to me, sold!!!

I think they are just put aside and she keeps them.

Of course she knows the shirt requires all the buttons. I let her know that it's done and we can move foward with the run.

 

[Stanleykubik]

now everything is figured, do we have any idea of time frame they should be ready ? thanks

 

[corellianfive]

Can't wait to see a picture of everyone's Indy wearing this outfit.

 

[Mr.E]

Still got a bit of a wait until then. This set is going to be great. I really like how the "grain" of the jacket is looking in the latest update.
