He's marked all his threads for deletion, is he leaving the forum or is he just reorganizing all his work ?

Looks like mostly all of them except for the Wonks casts and pirate sets. Hopefully just organizing?

Heard from Rocco today: "Sorry for not being around the threads in a while, this is the busiest time of the year for me, I'll be back on regularly after February. I've spoken to my mold maker who is also swamped for Toy Fair, he has half the project cast, so I'm trying to get castings sent to the tailor asap. Thanks for you patience".

Glad to see he is ok.

Indeed man I got the message from him too even better news to go with that the fabrics for most of the proto arrived today including 1:6 buttons!

 

[jra81984]

What did you do for buttons? I had a super hard time finding white buttons for another bash I am doing.

 

[Godfather1408]

5mm buttons from eBay they are black but will be painted for ompa just need buttons for wonka vest now.

5mm is roughly the same same size as most customs suits I've got.

Hey guys bit of an update ordered the test swatches for the proto and came through today just a quick question do they look to big or do you think the size is right ?
Remember this is only the proto swatch will post more pics later.

There too big if you ask me, I take it those swatches are approx A4 in size?

They must be smaller surely?

More than likely lol just pulled the A4 size out on my *** lol I have no idea how big the sheets are but since there is nothing in the pic for reference it's hard to tell what size they actually are

 

[Cap'n Cook]

:lol

Indeed.

 

[Godfather1408]

I compared them with rainmans and they do need to be smaller, It's not a4 it's half the size of a4 roughly. Defiantly needs to be smaller.

Does anyone know where I can get small round buttons for shirts etc?
I'll pop up a reference too.

Half A4 (i.e A5 in size) is about right they perhaps need to scaled down a touch but they look close. Only way to know for sure though is to put up a close up pic with something for reference ideally a pencil tip or the like.

 

[jra81984]

Yeah the sample looks way too big for sure. Take a pic near a 1/6 body for comparison.

 

[Godfather1408]

Just had it resized to the correct scale ordered an updated pattern swatch once we're happy just need to find the right Fabric.
