IRIS: Raiders of the lost Ark (Closed)

chocolate brown ? Man, I'd be worried that'd be too dark even dipping it in for only a few seconds, love to see some pics

I posted it on SSF so someone can pull it there and share it as I've had issues with this site.

Everything I ever want to see at SSF seems to be unavailable, behind a pay wall or something so I don't go there anymore

I don't know Luis. Once you start messing around with those pants forever will it dominate your destiny.

They seem to change colour throughout scenes never mind throughout the movies. I have different pairs of the officers pants and even I can never decide what colour they are from one day to the next!

Yeah thankfully it looks fine in regular light. But at least I'm happy with it, I didn't want it to come out way to dark then what it needed to be.

As long as you are happy with how it looks that is all that matters, Luis.

Did you get your custom Indy back yet?

It sadly didn't turn up with my set. I mean eh thankfully it didn't turn up with my set.

Actually I had some isssue with the post. But finally went to pick it up today. Lol so i have it back.

The gloves I ordered off eBay probably 10 years ago.

Yep, same ones I got on mine -- DiD David Merrill gloves from 10 years ago or more.

So, received my Iris set today. Haven't had much time to futz with it but here's some initial thoughts:
Really glad we went with a small zipper, much better than the 1st concept.
The outfit fits really well on the generic body I am using:
https://www.scifi-toys.com/collecti...1-6-parts-standard-male-narrow-shoulders-body
Didn't have any issues with the shirt popping open at all, magnets pop close easily.
The jacket is nicer than I imagined. Really nice soft material and a great colour. I think in the hands of a talented custom artist the collar could sit flat and would look better if weathered, but still really nice. The length is good.
The pants are not really made from the material I would have liked. It creases just by looking at it in the way that linen creases, but Indy's pants were wool and didn't crease like that, that's a bummer for mine.
The holster is "ok" but not better than the MFisher (pictured here) imho. It's very thin, but not bad for the price.
Overall summary: Given the price of sets from Yunsil & Kato, this is a really nice set for the price point. Certainly WAY better than what Hot Toys came up with and a certain upgrade from that.
Lastly thank you to Luis & Iris for making this possible.

Thanks Bro, I literally put a link to the body I purchased in the original post *lol* specifically though it is the BD010 style on that page.

Haha yup. I’ve seen you around a while Wor!

As I got my Jnix sculpt back finally I think it's time to get it painted and Yelim Choi is my choice for this one.

Anyone know where I might track down a suitable satchel to use? Maybe a gas mask bag from a military 1/6th company that may work as a suitable stand-in?

I'm keeping an eye on ebay for an HT DX bag, but they seem to be scarce.

Luis, If you feel like having a go at making the shirt darker too, let me know. I'd like it to be more like this:

but I'm too nervous about stuffing it up. LOL.

 

[corellianfive]

I think I'm finished weathering the jacket. I still need to do the sealer coat yet though.

Outstanding job Rzeznikk! Do you mind me asking how you weathered it? Did you use acrylics and dry brush over the jacket? I just don't think I'm brave enough to give it a try but it really brings it to life.

Thanks! I use "Leather Studio" acrylic paints for Leathers and vinyls. Heres the color I used.

Let me be the lab mouse while you sit and watch huh. Lol I think lighting helps in theses cases. I might try it but I think as it is I'm ok with it. Lol
