I dont mean to cut into this post. Its unintentional. But this next set of customs required I build something for it.
I have mentioned these in the past, but like stated in the previous post, I dont get make much time for 'playing'. If I did, you would probably have seen more pictures of these next customs than you have...er...havent.
I am not sure how many of you know this, but Lady Command of the Micropolis Embassy Group made the capes for the Palisades Toys Emperors. Shortly after the Magnos were released, I commissioned her to make some additional capes for me in various colors. They havent seen much play time, so I took down the red one for a few pictures. I have been looking for proper hooks/hangars for them and havent found anything yet. However now that I am doing casting, hooks/hangars for these Capes is now on the list.
I wished I had gotten a few more made. This is actually the first time this Red Cape has ever been put on a figure.
I didnt know what to do with these capes now that I had them. Keep them wrapped in a bag? So I took some welding wire. Wire, not rod. It comes in various widths about 2 maybe 3 feet long. And I bent some and soldered them together to make a Cape Rack
I have more detailed pics of it being made, but you get the idea. All the joints were filed/sanded and the entire rack primed and painted.
I think Im going to spend a bit more time playing. Some of these other capes have never been on a figure yet either.
White Atlas with red cape is really cool and 'vintage' looking! great work man ;)
ReplyDeleteVery cool, Austin!
ReplyDeleteAnd just so no one thinks she had to make hundreds of little capes - she designed it and prototyped several samples. The ones included in the toys were made by the factory folks. ;-)
