IRIS: Raiders of the lost Ark (Closed)

[Luisenigma1]

I also read that it's a greyish brown. Color most places say one thing from another. I like the material on the TOD pants it's close to the wool used for the film. Plus the fit is good it just needs to be longer at the ankles. The color has to be done right for this set. Trust me I'm putting effort into this.

Yeah I said dark khaki at the end, shouldn’t have said khaki, it’s not representative of what I meant.
I read further that the most accurate color name is “Taupe”
It is darker in the shadows, and shows a hint of pink in the sunlight, while maintaining a majority hue of the taupe brown/grey hue.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Taupe is correct... but it does have more grey in it than regular taupe.

When I dyed my own Raiders pants I used a mix of taupe with a hint of pearl grey. Took many dips to get it right -- or at least what I think is right. Damn pants look different in different lighting contexts so its almost impossible to ever be satisfied by a single picture.

 

[famusan_figs]

I think this taupe hue matches almost perfectly with a little weathering, it’ll be just the right hue.

In many of the Indy cosplaying and prop replica forums I’ve been just perusing through, people did say you need to wear the pants A LOT. To get it weathered enough and to the right hue. I thought it’d be more gray too but then I also thought that in conjunction with the harsh sun, and sand weathering in most scenes of Raiders, it may almost have a washed out/bleached effect of the image of the pants on screen. In most photos like I’ve see Luis post, i see the brown too prominently, say 70% with the gray coming in at like a
25%, and the remainder 5% being a pinkish hue.
Here’s a clip from the beginning scene when he’s jumping through the trees while running from the natives! In a semi-lit setting like this you can almost get it’s true color

That color image is great i can send it to iris as better reference for color. As far as baggyness you guys find the TOD pants to do it correctly with some miner changes of course. I feel as if its good just needs to be longer and have the 7 belt loops.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Yeah, a lot of time the more grey color of the pants seems to come out in darker places -- OR places lit with "blue light" to imitate darkness in movies, like the cave in the opening.

But I do feel the 2 below pictures seem to capture the color the best...

BTW, if you don't already know, Luis, use the names on these first 2 pictures to find a site with the entire RAIDERS film broken down into stills. Thousands of stills... almost frame-by-frame... it's endless.

 

[Luisenigma1]

Yeah i know that's were i got most of my reference images. So pants color down, material idea down. I just need a good reference for the fit.

Agreed about them being longer. They need to bunch at the bottom a little.

deposit sent， thanks

 

[Luisenigma1]

The run is now closed. 15 deposits have been made. I will adjust the name of those who have paid and the ones who haven't. I will update further on news soon.

 

[famusan_figs]

The 7 loops is key! Iirc I believe my friend that had the Yunsil set told me his only had the standard 5 belt loops, which of course is incorrect. I’m glad you’re gonna note that to Iris, Luis.
The fit I see is just a tad lower in the back by the feet, and it’s hemmed just a tad shorter in the front. It’s very apparent more than normal in scenes when his knees are bent, the front rides higher than a normal hemmed pair of pants.
As for the fit in the rest of the pants:
To me it looks like a regular straight-fit pants would, except with a slight taper at the knees, to give it a break.

If this reopens or a second run is made, I’d like to jump in. Just let me know. Thanks.

 

[Cap'n Cook]

Famusan and Luis; you got this! Thanks for your keen input.

 

[Luisenigma1]

So i re-did the list based on people who paid the deposit. Those of you who didn't i put you on a waitlist, this can go in two ways. If someone drops out once final payments are due, you can take their spot if you pay the remaining balance. The second thing that could happen is the waitlist is the second run list, hopefully i can get a second one going. For those who got in congrats, i will update further on when the prototype will begin.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Congratulations, Luis!

 

[Jbeltram4]

I’ll take a wait list spot if ok with you, Luis. This sounds like you are putting in the due diligence to get this done right. Will definitely be following.

 

[Luisenigma1]

Mbuck45 made a deposit late. I will try to get you a set but thats it. No more deposits unless Iris says. I will keep everyone posted.

 

[Luisenigma1]

On other things. I have the body ready here is an idea on how it looks. I swapped out the arms and it gives the body a better form almost the same as Ford. So the outfit can be fitted better.

 

[Rmsceb]

I think that looks pretty good Luis! Is that the "banner" body? And which arms did you use?

It is the banner with the upper body swapped out to the dx05 version. The arms are normal ttm18 ones but the forearms are from the HT chirrut rogue one body.
