Re: RUNNING MAN - Ben Richards by DChung & SILENTSURFER!

I think though the shininess isn't coming through completely on camera, you can sort of get an idea of it.

I think it's really, really close, but just going by the reference pictures you posted, I think a few lines are still off by a touch and the name is still a bit high.

I just did a very crude and fast markup to show what I mean.

If you compare the marks to this photo, I think you can see what I'm trying to explain.

There's a bit more of the gray in the prototype suit than in the actual suit I think.

If you move the red line over, adding more yellow and then just move the name down a bit I think it'll be spot on.

Re: RUNNING MAN - Ben Richards by DChung & SILENTSURFER!

Thanks for taking the time out to give suggestions, Tex! Always very much appreciated!

However... (lol)...
Take a good look at that reference photo and see if you can tell where the middle seam is running down the front. The gray needs to come within almost an inch of it.

I think what's throwing you off is the fact that the reference photo is straight frontal, while the proto pic is 3/4, favoring the gray.

The thing about this suit that makes it a super challenge is that it's NOT symmetrical, which would have been far easier to pull off! Trust me, I would rather not have had to do it all lop-sided like it was in the movie!!

Cheers,
Dan

Re: RUNNING MAN - Ben Richards by DChung & SILENTSURFER!

While its noticeable, I bet it's a biotch to pull off that seam. I think it looks pretty good and I don't think anyones due to make one that much better. So......when can I have mine? lol

Thanks, Dan, I think I see what you're saying, and I think the picture angle did throw it off.

Though I do still think that if you look at the left shoulder where the seam meets the shoulder, it might be off by just a bit. That would force a bit more yellow material over, which I guess is what I was seeing before.

I know I may be being overly picky here, I just want it to be perfect since you've already done such an amazing job!

Re: RUNNING MAN - Ben Richards by DChung & SILENTSURFER!

You're right about the shoulder part.

Working in stretchy spandex, at 1:6 scale no less, is an EM-EFFING Beeyotch...

Don't even get me started on the friggin' quilted sleeves. Wait til you have these in hand and turn them inside out. You'll see...

Re: RUNNING MAN - Ben Richards by DChung & SILENTSURFER!

Okay, here's a pic of the final prototype, featuring a "stock" paint job on the head...

Hopefully, the shininess of the fabric is more apparent here:

Here's another snapshot from my iphone:

Thanks for posting the up-date, I will stick with my original order for the head with stock paint job:hi5:

Whats the time frame for this to be released and when will payment be due?

Re: RUNNING MAN - Ben Richards by DChung & SILENTSURFER!

Dan, is there a way to fix the Running Man font so that it stays the same size when the outfit is stretched? I might be wrong but I don't think the font got warped like that when Arnie wore it in the movie. Just a small nitpick.

 

[dchung]

Re: RUNNING MAN - Ben Richards by DChung & SILENTSURFER!

Good eye.
Actually, on the mannequin, and even in the movie, the pant legs were actually loose and goofy looking. It was a conscious decision on my part to make them a bit more form-fitting.

Still, in the photo above, it's an illusion, because the letters follow the contour of the kneecap, so the fore-shortening makes them looks scrunched.

Here's a shot I just took straight on from the side. Much better!

Re: RUNNING MAN - Ben Richards by DChung & SILENTSURFER!

Amazing. Looking forward to getting the head sculpt!!!

Re: RUNNING MAN - Ben Richards by DChung & SILENTSURFER!

HEAD'S UP, EVERYONE.

I'm gonna close the decal and SilentSurfer option in THREE days. That way, I can make arrangements with EVILFACE and SILENTSURFER to have those parts ready in one batch, and I still need to ship off the unpainted heads to SilentSurfer. The whole idea was to save you all separate shipping and separate payments. Hopefully, by now, those of you who want it, have already expressed that desire.

Still, if you miss out on the deadline, I'm pretty sure the fellas will still get you squared away, but you'll need to do so on your own. Thanks.

Cheers,
Dan

Deadline: 11:59PM PST, Thursday night, August 8.
