It would depend on the interest for it.

I’d have interest for sure

Sorry for the bad lighting. Here's the Banner body with Creg boots w/ Han Solo foot pegs (they're on the longer side)

 

[TonTon]

Banner body, HT boots and boxers, w/ Han Solo length pegs for boots.

Now same as above but with jacket on. Banner body fits well, upper arms are a little snug for the shirt itself but jacket is fine. Sorry for the crap in the background.

They look good. The banner should be good with the body. But the arms would have to be switched out to a ttm18 or at least the biceps would need to be.

Wow yeah this shirt was definitely made for a slimmer kind of body, and you can't have any kind of muscular arms in the sleeves at all without it looking like he's going to burst out of them. And the Solo body is just too broad in general for a proper fit. And even on the slimmer VTS body I'm using it's pretty form fitting.

Fortunately though I was only ever planning to have the jacket on with this outfit. If I wanted to have the Cairo look, I'd probably opt for the much looser fitting HT shirt instead.

 

[Luisenigma1]

If you wanted to try something crazy you could stick with the banner body but use the Han solo arms. I've tried that before and it works well.

How ‘bout those pants? Haha
The pants look perfect to me.
Set looks good. I’m worried about the arms but we’ll see when it gets here. Thanks for the pics. Let’s see the sleeves pushed/rolled up!

 

[TonTon]

What's the process for switching out the arms?

Like the TOD body, I prefer the Banner body to Solo in part cause it has the rubber neck, allowing for some posing with the sculpt I have. It does also fit a bit better in the chest department than solo, it's wide but less barrel chested. But it's also got that very skinny waist going against it.

I like both the Solo and VTS bodies... I also like the JX body. Does the JX work well with the tight shirt? It has slimmer arms I think.

The big problem will be trying to roll the cuffs and get a forearm through there.

To switch the arms out. You'll need to remove the upper torso. It has a seem on the right side just heat it up with hot water or blow dryer( just enough were it's soft don't over due it) then just open that seem carefully so you don't damage it. The arms are attached with this joint that has two screws you can remove it and take the arm off.

One day you should do a photo tutorial, Luis. I bet a lot of people would love to see the process in a couple pictures.

Here's a few pics of mine after throwing some parts together and with minimal futzing. I did spray down the pants with some water to get them to hang a bit better, but they still seem a little too baggy for my taste, so I'll probably end up taking them in a bit more. At least assuming I stick with this body. Think I might give that JX one a try first.

I do love that the jacket zips up though. In fact it's such a cool look I'll probably be leaving it this way for awhile.

Just an example.

That looks good to me. What's the issue with the pants that they don't drape or don't cover the boots?

 

[Wor-Gar]

Funny, I just said the same thing on the other site about you zipped jacket, dave! Looks great zipped up, Nepal style.

I'm wondering if you leave the shirt on the Solo body, wet, overnight if that won't help stretch it out a bit by morning.

 

[Luisenigma1]

Really wonder what the Jnix sculpt will look like painted by Yelim Choi.

They're just a little too wide in the leg for my taste. At least with the body I'm using. Maybe on one with thicker legs the fit would be better.

 

[Mr.E]

Honestly the pants look fine there, I think. Even the pants by Kato have that perfectly baggy drape to them.

Like I said before, I'm just waiting on the ankle extenders and I'll post up some shots of the set on the modded VTS body I'm using.

wow that looks amazing! Which body did you use?

 

[davejames]

Thanks. It's a VTS body used for the Axeman figure from Logan. I don't think many are around anymore.

Well it's a little deceptive, as I futzed them to look narrower from the front and folded some of the fabric and tried to hide the bagginess as best I could. It's not as naturally narrow as I've made it look there, even after a water treatment.
