Re: [SCULPTOR/ROCCO] GOT Ygritte Approved to Go
Ygritte sculpt has been greenlit. :yess: Everyone's favorite red-haired wildling will be starting soon. I'll be getting Geewhiz started on the prototype outfit in the next week or so. Still trying to decide between snow and grassland. Snow will run about $300, grassland about $400. I could really go with either myself but want to be realistic when the rubber hits the road. Keep in mind snow will be brown and folks can add snow weathering if they choose.

I did my Tormund outfit for about 20.00 in materials, I'd be happy to share any info if people are concerned about price.

Ha, no secret. I got a tan dog pillow pet (20.00 Amazon) and skinned it. The fur is good scale for our hobby. Then cut the fur out in patches. I then sewed (but fabric glue would work too) the pelt on to an existing 1:6 scale set of clothing. Any baggy clothes will do. The trick is to sew (or glue) the pelt like a puzzle, so you get the random look. Once you are done, you'll have a tan/brown set of pelts. But they are too clean. I painted mine with grey and brown acrylics. This has the added effect of matting down the fur further, for a more realistic look. Pull on some of the edges of the fur so they look like separate pieces from one another. Add a leather belt, make a hood and you are done.
A side note: the real Wildling clothing on the show is worn fur side in. It's better for warmth and realistic to how the Inuit actually do it. So any fur you see exposed on the show is poking thru or exposed from the patchwork nature of the sewing of the clothes. But the application of acrylic paints to the 1:6 scale pelts gives the effect of fur side in reasonably well.
It took me about a day to make. It's not terribly difficult and relatively forgiving, given the patchwork nature of the clothing, so you can make errors without ruining the look.
Hope that helps and if anyone has further questions, please feel free to ask.

Re: [SCULPTOR/ROCCO] GOT Ygritte Approved to Go
Great info on the Tormund outfit Doug. I'll check in with Rocco on the schedule for the Ygritte sculpt. I believe he said he'd start the end of this month. I'd been waiting for the sculpt to get underway before starting up the prototype outfit since that only takes a couple of weeks. However after seeing this I may see if I can find someone who'd be interested in doing a proto Ygritte outfit using this technique with the possibility of a run of another 10 or so. That could dramatically lower the price. Jon is heading out for repaint and hair mod next week. I may have Ned repainted and haired as well.

Still interested in the head and clothes. Probably bald, but maybe just some sculpted roots to give the painters/hairers something to go by. I'm thinking neckless will be best since most female bodies have a neck on them.
I have Zebratan's Tormund figure and I have a custom sculpt getting printed for it.

Neckless with sculpted hair, but will go for bald if thats what the majority wants. Any suggestions for a good customizer to do the hair?

I'll ask Rocco. Only 7 folks have reconfirmed. The concern is you don't want to produce a head and have people falling off the interest list. But maybe some folks just haven't checked back.
