IRIS: Raiders of the lost Ark (Closed)

[Luisenigma1]

I definitely should have asked Iris to make the shirt a tad bigger almost what yunsil did in size. But the isssue also is how thick she made the cuffs on the sleeve.

That's what I was thinking too. Since it's a bit tight it does get a bit harder to futz properly once the jacket is on as the materials fight each other, if you know what I mean, but I'm guessing it could still work well with some patience. I think the biggest thing with the Solo body is to use those long ankle pegs the original figure had as it makes the pants look much better.

Yeah at least with my shirt, I'd be far too worried about ripping the sleeves every time I moved the arms too much on the Solo body. But honestly the Solo just looks way too big and buff for a Raiders Indy anyway, and makes the heads I have look a bit smallish on top, so I'm not too bothered about not being able to use it.

I've been working on a digital Fertility Idol and plan to have it professionally casted in solid non-precious yellow metal for around £60 each finished. I can also cast in real solid gold but it will be big bucks. Would anybody be interested? (Part of a personal project)

Show some images. That HT Idol is starting to crack.

The picture of the Idol is my current digital work in progress. It will be 3d printed and casted like the two metal knives shown (first cast in 3d (print lines arent final)). The image of the stormtrooper is the only picture I have of the metal I'm going to use lol. I can fully polish it or leave a satin finish. It will be quality solid metal with a weight to it.

 

[Luisenigma1]

I might be in for one. I'll wait to see what yours looks like and get one.

That JX01 body looks very good for a Raiders body. How does it stack up vs the Banner?

It's a bit thick around the chest and back not as much as the Han Solo body but there is a difference. It is pretty good body type. I have two, I'm using one for Nathan Drake and the other is slightly damaged so I just have it my cabinet. Overall it's a pretty inexpensive body so it's good to use for Indy.

So I'm thinking if a second run happens and I get Iris to go for it in the future. I might have her fix the shirt size and offer them separately as updates for this run as bonus for the second run.

Might be a good idea. But man..that's a real bugger to have to pay more.

Had some time to play with this set tonight.

Yunsil (L) v Iris (R)
Clothing comparison detolf images. Will try in get daylight pics this week.

Yunsil is on a HT Han Solo body
Iris is on a HT Banner Body

Yunsil jacket has been weathered.
Iris Jacket is still stock.

I'm going to echo the concern or the lament on how tight fitted the Iris shirt is. Even on the Banner body any bit of futzing or moving of the figure pops those magnets.

Otherwise I'm really loving the set. The pants are perfect. The shirt color is perfect. I think I'll just get the Iris shirt weathered and will be able to happily convert the whole outfit to my Hero Indy.

Yunsil shirt and pants will go to my Cairo for sure.

Already?

If you do, can you also make another jacket but that wee bit longer that we all took off?

????

Iris must think (or will think) we are all crazy ???

Never satisfied.

I think the jacket is fine in length. And shirt, while annoying, Its not enough for me to purchase another shirt. I'll live with it. ?

Hopefully not by much. But it will probably be a while before that does happen.

Exactly ? give it a year and few months and hopefully she is interested in doing it again.

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.

The Jx body works, arms arent too bulky, but pretty hard to close the shirt top buttons tho, i think we ll have that problem with any unmodified body, as the one that was sent to Iris was shaved on the sides.

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.

i have the jx body, and i think yours is better, u seem to have less problem closing the shirt buttons on chest

Iris set sans jacket. In the process of weathering

Yeah from what I'm readying, the JX still has a pretty broad chest on it. The VTS one I'm using has a slightly narrower chest, which makes the shirt fit a bit better. Although it's still more form-fitting than I'd prefer.

And yes, I already lost one of the shirt buttons somehow. So be careful when futzing everybody.
