Oh that is indeed a wicked pose you have there cr0w!!

How the hell did you guys get the cape to stay like that without clipping it at the back?


I can do backdrops if folks are interested.
Here's some I did for a fellow freak.

An Aquaman backdrop.

Pers cover sticks out a lot, Anyone else like this.





it is pushed on correctly just poor fitting :dunno
 
That's what I keep aiming for with mine, but I never quite seem to be able to get there.

Me = cape fail. :lol
 
Thanks for all the kind words, guys. The cape took around, oh, two hours to shape, but what you have to do is basically fold it in on itself multiple times and crimp the wire at the bottom really well so the folds are flat against each other. Think of how a bat's wing folds when they're relaxed and you have an idea. Just multiple folds pressing against each other. This will help it lay down and give some weight to it. Once you have it laying against the figure and where you want it, just grab the damn cape at the bottom and scrunch it up against the figure's legs to make it lay against the body. Then just go through and spot adjust the annoying points. Make sure his arms are flat as possible against his body and that his gauntlets are turned inward so the spikes don't press the cape outwards.

You'll just have to practice with it until you get a feel for how the cape works.
 
cr0w, it's quite a pain at times due to it's springy nature. Makes you want to go asdfk! Then when you do get one part sitting right, then working on another it pops out what you once worked on.

Funny thing is that point sticking out, when you push it, it's actually hollow. Though you'd swear the arm was there but it's the way it's folded.

I had that problem with mine as well :slap

Took the cape off mine earlier and started from scratch not that I disliked the way it was before but just fancied getting it looking a little more like cr0w and while it's still no where near as good as his it's looking a little less puffy now
