Great news！

Official Update.

Yunsil just sent me an email tonight saying the prototype is done. She re-did the pants with a new silkscreen.

She didn’t actually send pictures yet, but gave me a long spiel about prices going up over the past two years.

I‘ll post the pictures a soon as I have them.

Looking forward to seeing this. I love how she puts us on the back burner, then says the prices have gone up.

 

[Star Puffs]

Ok. She just sent the prototype picture, which I posted in the first post.

I’m happy. Let me know your thoughts. She still hasn’t sent the new prices yet.

Three people want on board. If anyone doesn’t want their spot, let me know. I’ll ask about authorizing more than the initial 11 heads.

Is this still available？I want one spot. Thank you!

Looks really good!

Neck looks much too long for the body.

I can see it looks a bit long. People can adjust the neck length carefully to their individual preference.

Beautiful work!

We got permission to cast more heads.

Yunsil sent me prices today, but I need to clarify the credit that remains from the deposit relative to the substantial shared costs ($650!) on printing and fabric. We seem to have interest in 15 sets, so it works out to $350-ish per person plus shipping.

Does that include the deposit we already paid or minus the deposit?

 

[Star Puffs]

That’s the grand total, so the $100 deposit covers part of it.

Since you’re here in the U.S. the balance you’ll owe will be approximately $255 plus $8 shipping.

Thanks for clearing it up for me.

The prototype shipped yesterday to me.

Someone already correctly noted that the pants need significant adjustment. I’m really not sure why they are so long, since I sent her the DAM 2.0 body and she appears to be using it. That’s an easy correction.

Also, a reminder that the sleeves are meant to be rolled up. We don’t really even know what cuffs his shirt has. They might have been french cuff, or contrasting, like the collar. We just have no idea about that or the jacket that ostensibly would go with the pants.

The idea here is to recreate that specific, iconic look.

With the accessories, I’m going to test using conductive paint and electroplating. Casting circular objects that small is VERY difficult. The ideal solution is to lay a true metallic 18k gold layer on the 3D print, since gold waxes and paints just never look quite right.

All sounds good. As far as the sleeves go, if meant to be rolled up, then you would definitely want shorter sleeves so they are not so bulky when rolled.
Also, does he wear this outfit with the sleeves down? I might want to have him posed with the sleeves down once in a while.

 

[Star Puffs]

We reached 15 deposits. We can now begin taking final payments.

I know this has been a very disruptive month for all of us. I ask those who can pay to do so, to move the project forward.

I am willing to send Yunsil the balance once we get 12 sets paid, meaning I will take on the risk of the other three people not following through eventually.

If you want to discuss your payment circumstances, please shoot me a PM.

Prototype
I will ask Yunsil to make two changes to the final outfit.
1. Make the necktie base color a bit more red.
2. Reduce the inseam 4mm so there is a less baggy break in his pants. You can see what turning up the seam (8.5mm) looks like in the photos).

If you see anything else, please discuss.

Head
After experimenting, I suggest removing 2mm from the neck.

Accessories

Updates:
I experimented at considerable expense trying to plate the watch in metal for teh past two weeks. It worked in a technical sense, but did not produce the metal-like look I had hoped for. The watch will just have to be painted.

I find the ring is fragile. It will probably be better to sell 2-3 custom hands with the ring integrated into pinkie. I will work on this as soon as I finish a shoes sculpting projetc.

Fan Customs and I have discussed the shoe more.

 

[Star Puffs]

There is some major lens distortion I noticed. I will try to retake the photos.

The DAM 2.0 body looks fantastic and natural to the naked eye. I 100% stand by that choice.

Looking at further the shirt needs tweaked.

 

[greatlakes6]

I also agree on the red base color of the tie, the baggies of the pants, and the fit of the shirt.

 

[Star Puffs]

New Photos.

DAM 2.0 body

This is a great body, but to be honest, I don't think Yunsil tailored the clothes to it as requested.

 

[Star Puffs]

The standard TrueType Narrow.

It is slightly shorter than the DAM 2.0 but has a fuller chest.

 

[greatlakes6]

Shirt sleeves shorter, to fit as if it were buttoned around the wrist. Either that or shorten the sleeves and cut off some of the material so when they are rolled there is not as much bulk. When Gekko rolls up his sleeves, they are not very high.

Pants need to be shortened so they lay better. Looking at this smaller body, it looks like Kirk Douglas is wearing the clothes, not Michael.

Also, the waist appears to be tight fitting which makes the pleats stick out.
