1/6th bossk

[barryo]

okay, new thread with some previous posted pics from waxmurder's thread.
first props to said murderer of wax as for his great casts. although i did re-engineer his take on the ankles that was due to my heavy hands i suppose. you will notice it goes from a pin & slot configuration to a ball & joint set up. but i digress. bossk is a character i just think is badass all the way around and couldn't wait to do my take on him.
breakdown:
waxmurderer's - sculpts of head, arms, shins/feet, gun (fixed gun wm)
body - marmit..........very modified to fit neck reciever & chopped arms & mounted ball joints.
outfit - hasbro bossk, repainted hoses & modified existing vest......(i liked the material) added some front shoulder buckles as well.
belt - gi joe dusty (i think) added a narrow strip of elastic to make a ammo holder & painted, then added some kind of spent casings from a ww2 soldier ammo set that i painted with a silverleaf pen.
arm rings - cut down sprinkler part so i could accommodate the ball joint in the cut down forearms. i didn't originally take pics of this process but willing to do if needed as it is a pretty simple task & works great.

so there he is. anyone thinking of doing a bossk def contact waxmurderer for the sculpts. pretty simple bash honestly, but if you need any help at all with this definitely contact me & i'll help you as best i can.

One of the best all around customs I've ever seen. Doesn't get much better than that.

That looks amazing Barryo! Props to Wax Murder for the work he put into this, and you did a brilliant job of putting it all together.

What did you do with the vest? I sadly trimmed mine, but threw out the edge pieces before realizing how crappy it looked w/o edges. I really need a vest just like yours.

joseph, the vest is the original cut down with a cloth edging trim sewed on. it's trim specifically made for edges like that to hide the ragged edge. i'm sure a fabric shop has them as my mom said they sell it & the one she used came out of a package. but you could do the same thing with an alike material. the nice thing about the store kind is that is doubled up & creased already. that help?

 

[galactiboy]

That does help... I didn't know something like that existed; but its exactly what I need.

i looked it up and it's called "fabric edge binding".

 

[galactiboy]

Sweet Barryo, thanks for that. Hopefully my Bossk won't have to continue looking so unsightly

Wish I hadn't wasted so much creative juice on the Hasbro pieces though... what you have just look so much better.
