Love the new head and kitbash. As for the harness, if it is leather and it stains the body, just so you know, there's a good chance you can easily wash that off
thanks for the tip, matter of fact years ago a almost ruined a coo model seamless body with this very mistake, using colored fake leather for clothing. this time i took the material form an old belt of mine and sliced it in half. in between is kind of a woven material, like a fine mesh. so the fake leather stuff remains on the outside all the time.
as for the armor pieces i glued foam underneath to prevent the painted stuff from touching the skin, well almost as you can never fully keep it "off" the body.
as for the fat belt around his waist, i made him some "underwear" of an old boxer short i had around. been washed many many times so i guess it won´t stain the figure anytime soon.
but in the end i´m quite happy with the result and must say IF it ever gets stained from the armor it´s well worth it and i´d rather buy another m35 before using it for another figure.
Looks good. Nice correction. Looking forward to seeing the new character.
again, my thanks and without further ado here´s shao kahn
sadly its the best my camera is able to do, gonna add some daylight shots tomorrow.
here´s a 1/4 statue based on the original mk2 look for reference
oh, by the way i know there´s a second skull emblem on the chest though i haven´t found a way to add it to his harness without making it either bulge to the front or simply "pop" off. geez this guy really is on the good juice all year
That Shao Kahn is going to look sick once it comes together, I can already tell. I would say with the inner areas of Baraka's shirt, you could line it with a mixture of fabric glue and dark red paint. That could simulate the actual shirt lining and also prevent it from unthreading more.
well i hope it does
had a lot of fun putting it together, still a bit of tweaking left, especially re-glueing(if thats a word
) the inner foam on the shin guards. double sided duct tape wasn´t as up for the job as i hoped it would be.
as for barakas shirt thats a very good advice,gonna take a trip to my local hardware store to check for fabric glue tomorrow.
hope you like it so far, more characters to come in the future
cheers
