Here's a couple pictures of it. They look better in person but here they are.

Nice job!

I could see there being a strong demand for such a thing if you were up to it! LOOKS GREAT!

 

[Mr.E]

Well, thats a far cry from the huge felt thing that came with the original 1982 Kenner 12"...nice job.

 

[Raymond F.]

I'm definitely liking this! think with some weatheing it will look great

 

[Indywanabe91]

thanks guys that one is the trial one...actually i made another one also, but I think I just might start selling not 100% sure though now! But if so i was thinking of sellin them with various movie seen types or by just open crown like how regular fedoras are sold

Looks good! I agree about the weathering. That would look killer with a little dirt and grime.

Only suggestion I have at this point is o source a dark chocolate brown ribbon instead of the black you are using.. that way it would be more accurate... this is a long overdue and needed accessory

The lighting isn't the best they actually make the hats look lighter, but they actually are dark chocolate and in the creation process the fedora tends to get a little lighter

Thanks Guys

All these pictures have been takin via my phone so not the best, but heres my semi finished fedora with my bow on it...I've only got to sew the inside lining of the fedora.

Cool stuff ! looks like it is coming along well... one other thing you may want to try is holding the felt near a flame (obviously very carefully) and singe the stray fuzz off... I do this with a lot of 1/6 clothing and it helps the appearance quite a bit..

 

[Indywanabe91]

You're work is amazing buy the way, I need to get your raider set. I will do so to perfect the process I've been trying out different felts as well

 

[mfisher]

I have always wondered how thin you could get actual beaver felt... but if you could find a really smooth felt in a really thin stock you'd be set ! Would be cool to display the Raiders PF with the hatless head holding his fedora in the idol hand

 

[Indywanabe91]

Im looking for a velvety felt paper

 

[Indywanabe91]

these pictures have better lighting

I want a material to mimic mindbooks fedoras hes made (in the pictures below)

 

[j2_gumpy]

looks great, i would be in for a few of these

 

[mfisher]

his almost appear to have been made from leather ...

 

[RJMacReady16]

Really never thought this would turn-out, because they always look furry, but the one you posted above Mindbook's is looking pretty sharp.

And yeah, I think MB is using something besides felt for his. You can probably sand the piss out of leather to give it a fuzzy look.
