minimateman Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 (edited) I`m making a rorschach custom and I need a trenchcoat (or at least a good coat) that would fit the movie v. Edited July 31, 2010 by minimateman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiniFiend UK Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 If my memory is working ok the upcoming Thing minimate is the only one with a closed trenchcoat on a minimate yet. But I would think that is too bulky. I think most I have seen upto now have gone the open coat route. I do remember I think Mabait doing a closed coat using a modified chest piece painted and added for the belt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthRaider Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 Besides the upcoming wave 37 variant Thing, the closest preexisting Rorschach coat I can think of is Blackhawk's, though some heavy modification might be needed for the closures. However one boardie's Rorschach custom (sadly I can't remember whose it was) used Guy Gardner's vest as a base, and it turned out suprisingly well. If you can just find a way to compensate for the bottom half of the trench then that might work too. On the open-coat route MiniFiend suggested, IIRC Rorschach usually does wear a pinstriped suit that gets covered up by his iconic trenchcoat+scarf combo. Food for thought. (According to this, in the comics his pinstriped suit was purple. Cough.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy to get lost though, as at the time there were about 10 sets of watchmen customs floating around.

hellpop Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 I actually used the coat that came with Pet Shop Adrian. It worked out okay (sorry I don't have any pictures), but the arms are kind of ridiculous. It's really just a placeholder until there's a decent closed trenchcoat. I will probably give the Thing's coat a shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
