Frank West from Dead Rising - Help Needed

[Tesio]

Ok so I have never tried to make a custom before and am not super sure how to go about posting for this buy here it goes .

Since Dead Rising 2 is coming out at the end of September I have recently been playing some of the original Dead Rising to get in the mood and hyped up. Anyway I was browsing Tomopop and came upon this article: Need a 1/6 scale model camera for your toys? . That's when it hit me. Frank seems to have some fairly normal duds so save from a new headsculpt, I was thinking this could maybe be put together from parts. Here is a picture of him (can be clicked for higher-res).



So I just didn't really know where to start. I was hoping maybe some of you guys could help me locate some of the pieces? I am really at a lost when searching for this stuff. I have just got into the 1/6th hobby and don't know all the brands or toys. Any help would be super appreciated!

EDIT: Here are some in-game shots to get a feel for how the final textures turned out. They aren't quite as shiny as the promo picture.

Body- I would go with a Hot Toys true type advanced body or a soldier story body with sculpted neck.

Head- Look around for one that looks close, thats your best bet. ebay is your friend!

Shoes- I would say Indiana Jones shoes would be perfect. these are not the best ones but would do the job.

Pants- not green but you could dye them or just leave them tan.

Shirt-with some blood it would be great!

Jacket- https://store-rooms.com/Product.aspx?sku=411 I like the looks of this.

hope that helps!

actually this head would work nice. if you get a hot toys TT (true type) advanced, this head would just pop on.

Wow this is exactly what I was looking for! Thank you very much this is really perfect, just about everything. I don't have that much experience with 1/6th stuff and I can't thank you enough.

Does anyone know if removing a pocket from a jacket is very noticeable?

 

[cadaver202]

you would probably see the stitch holes in the leather. here is another jacket that might work better...

It was my pleasure to help! I looked for a 1/6 scale baseball bat with no luck.

Haha yeah I looked for a baseball bat as well. It's strange that they don't seem to exist . That jacket does look better, but I wish it had pictures of how it fit on a figure, it looks like it might not be long enough. I might have to look into getting a custom one made if I want it accurate though I guess. It's strange because I didn't think that his Jacket was that unique.

 

[cadaver202]

Ya I am sure there are baseball bats somewhere, I just don't know where to look.

as for the jacket, keep looking, I am sure something will work. the strange thing about 1/6 scale is that some of the most common looks (like that jacket) have never been made.

there are good stores for fashion stuff on ebay to keep an I on.

https://stores.ebay.ca/Minibarbie-Boutique?_rdc=1
this one has a lot of barbie stuff but also high quality stuff

https://stores.ebay.ca/7TOYS7
this one I find lots of great stuff on.

if you can't find one, let me know, and we can see if we can make one. I have made lots of stuff for my figs. check out the firefly thread in whedonville if you wanna see what I have done.

Sounds good man, I'll keep looking for a few weeks and if I can't find something that I'm happy with, I'll let you know. I checked out your work and it's really nice
