The issue of very tight sleeves.

In the past topic I am talked about a neck issue I have encountered right now it will be about too tight sleeves.

Star Man Windbreaker Female Killer Of Battle Royale (MS-002)



It looks cool And I like it. But when I received the item I had to encounter an unpleasant issue.



What you see on the picture above is the maximum range of elevation both by the shoulder and the elbow.

Not to much to play with it eh?

My decision was that I must cut of the sleeves from the T-shirt, To have the original one intact I ordered a loose shirt an cut off the sleeves.



Since I am only able to send 3 pics at max I will continue in the comments

Continuing.

So I am removed the intact sleeved shirt and keept it for later photo purposes



Then added on the customized one



And suprise take a look on what range of motion I archieved!

Much more to play with. Riht now I can play the moveset given in the prototype one!

What a beautiful figure!! And well done on the modification. It clearly was well worth it.

Btw, you can only upload three pictures at a time, but then you can do it again within the same post.

Nicely done, Venator5!
The headsculpt looks gorgeous.
I hope you kept the sleeves you cut off.
I did something similar before, i don't want to see wrist joints when i bend the arms for rifle-aiming poses as the sleeves rides up and exposes the ball joints.
so i inserted the cut-off sleeves/cuffs (using tweezers) inside the opening of the jacket sleeves, and extend it accordingly to cover the wrist joints when you have your arms in bent poses like in your pics.

It is a nice set, although it is sad that it requires this type of modification to allow proper articulation -- and you weren't even swapping bodies. I feel (and not for the first time) like they can benefit from using stretchier fabric as much as possible.

That's a quick fix, I would like to suggest a little tip, something that I've done in the past.

Once you cut off the sleeves you can cut them a bit shorter (past the elbow) and stick them on the forearm so that it looks like she has a long sleeve shirt still.

Actually It was so tight I was not in the mod of messing with it. And it would not be seen anyway. So I am not doing that. Actually I have another figure with to tight clothing issue but because it is pants we are talking about I can't really work out a solution other than a new replacement one.

She is a great looking figure!
