Mnemosis Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Hey guys... I'm trying to make a custom cape for Storm and cannot figure out how best to shape it. I was going to use green stuff but worry it won't hold the shape I want long enough to set. Any thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TENIME_art Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Something firm in that (or close enough) shape for it to lay on. Just make sure you cover that thing with saran wrap, or the Green Stuff'll stick to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mnemosis Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Yeah, THAT I know. Basically, I'm looking for suggestions on what might BE that shape. I'm honestly considering buying mussels... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeyCrypts Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 (edited) Finally picked up the TRU 8 Thing and a second TRU 15 Transforming Thing to have both Thing and Ben Grimm. I felt like the oolder thing was showing its age(can't believe it came it out in 2010) with the old style chest busters so used the left over pieces from the Ben grimm figure to make it look a bit like modern mates.

I like the long tights look for Thing and did the same thing but with the Wave 37 version. Just need to find bulked up thigh covers that match, or paint.

JoeyCrypts Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 cause of my tendency to get multiples of mates that can have multiple looks, I have two transforming Grey Hulks from the best of 3. i'm wondering if the covers from my spare will colour match the legs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zexion_Armando Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 That cape is amazing. Is it fabric or just molded really well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mnemosis Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Thanks man! Green stuff molded over some wire mesh thing I found at Michael's. It worked out to get pretty much the exact shape I wanted, though it did present difficulties in generating a smooth finish. Thanks to the board members who suggested petroleum jelly to help smooth the Green stuff. JUST noticed I missed the vertical yellow line under the chin...

Mnemosis Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Just fixed it. Will repost when my next custom is done. I will ALWAYS argue in favor of greater diversification of capes. The C3 Batman that came with a fully-draped-over-the-torso-cape is EXACTLY where I think Minimates need to go. Maestro's cape is another great, more recent, example. I understand why more companies don't do it - though kudos to DC for giving it a shot in the animated line - but I feel like if ANYONE should be making unique cape pieces, it's Diamond. Basically, look back at some of the McFarlane Spawns. Those figures were trapped in their capes forever, but it didn't matter, because they looked great. Minimates have the chance to pop out and even swap capes - if not with a second pack in, then with a previous release, perhaps. Are you with me, Multiverse?

arnim zola Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Agreed. I display that batman with the cape and no arms every so often, and I bought the hulk TTA set just to display the maestro with that sweet cape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
