YES! The Jacket sleeves. Not sure how that was misconstrued, but no matter - yes, the jacket sleeves. Thats what's adjusted to show or hide shirt cuff.

However, did you mean to imply that the jacket sleeves were too short? Because they do look like they might be.

I thought you were trying to say the shirt sleeves were too long. I just agreed with Rob that they can easily be hidden when you dress the figure.

If that's a TTM-18/Narrow Shoulder the clothes are on, then the jacket and sleeves may both need to be longer - but it will be clearer to see a full body shot from different angles (coverage on pants, etc.)

Feedback is welcomed guys. If you spot any possible improvements then say something. We can still request changes. I already have a few in mind. Not sure if we'll get another proto but we can at least have them for the final run.
Also, update, I won't be posting any pics tomorrow, instead we'll have "true" proto pics coming soon. We can go through the changes then.
I will answer some of the questions that have been asked today though.

It is on a ttm18.
Cufflinks are included but not 100% accurate. I'll see if we can get anything closer but don't know how many options there are

The break on the lapels will be requested to go a little more vertical

Sleeve lengths look fine to me but maybe a few more millimeters.

I would still suggest longer lapels...The button joins past the elbow - not at the top... I think this will add to the overall look of the era.

If we're going down this road... The jacket still looks too short overall, the pockets are too close to the front edge of the jacket, the angle on the lapel points/peaks aren't steep enough, the darts are too close to the front edge of the jacket.

Yes the lapel length is one thing that still needs to be corrected. I'll forward that pic to Yunsil. Thanks

Agreed the pockets and darts need to be moved back. The pockets more so than the darts.
Longer lapels should address the "pointiness" factor.
The jacket length looks fine to me but this can be discussed further when the pics are posted.

Impressed and amazed at everyone's eye for detail on this. The one thing I'd ask about is what can be done with the shirt collar -- a common problem on 1/6 clothes. Right now it springs up, as most collars do. Is there any way to help this? Maybe a slightly longer collar would help? I suppose we could always glue it down...

Can't wait to see the next pictures!

I'll see what can be done about that.

There's nothing that can be done in the tailoring process about the collars it all comes down to futzing them to stay down, either water treating them or gluing them down if you want a permanent fix. There is no weight to the fabric that is why they stick up in most cases.

Tit all comes down to futzing them to stay down,

Condensed bat saliva with the tiniest drop of fruit fly sweat - it's $130 for a 1ml vial, but that's how I roll.

Don't use human breast milk, it spoils.

Damn, Robert. **** Whitman never looked better (well, maybe once he receives a coat of paint from your brother). That's a fantastic likeness, though. Awesome project. Well done! :rock

Looks amazing, Rob! This is going to be a great figure. Can you use any pull to get me on your brother's list?!:wink1:
