How did you bulk up that Chest and shoulders?

How did you bulk up that Chest and shoulders?

I don't want remove the clothes again because their seams are a little bit fragile. But I can give you a description:

- removed the inner white vest

- bought a Hot Toys TTM20

- removed the body's soft part (I couldn't use the whole body because it does not fit in the clothes)

- glued it on the figure's own body (needs a little bit cutting job to fit).

- I bought a pack of Sugru and used them to extend the shoulders (any modelling clay or super sculpey will do the job but Sugru is elastic, adhesive itself and dries quickly)

- dressed it up

that's all.

I recently purchased this set from a fellow freak. I know there's some problem with the tailoring and general fitting. But after a simple fat suit modification and padding up the chest, I love how he looks.

 

[SilverStar17]

That looks good. Nice pics!

Here's my modded Strike suit, removed the fat suit and stitched up part of the shirt and pants to make it a little tighter. I think it looks better overall like this, almost gets rid of the puffy squared shoulder look.

Awesome pic! My fav cap suit!

 

[SilverStar17]

Awesome pictures!

How did you tighten the pants exactly?

How did you tighten the pants exactly?

Needle and thread, part of any serious modder's kit!

 

[kanine]

Yup, I stitched mine up behind the knees.

So I'm rewatching all of Phase 2 before Civil War tomorrow and currently on The Winter Soldier and I'm kinda surprised no ones tried to make a custom undercover Steve and Nat yet. XD

Nice pose on the S.T.R.I.K.E. suit! Looks like you removed the fat suit, correct?

Thanks! No, I actually like to keep all my figures stock if possible, no mods.

 

[Dino_Ranger_White]

Wow… nice! He looks good there, even without the mod.
Even though that suit had limited screen time, it was still a cool look for Steve.

I would love a 2.0 of that suit

I think most Marvel collectors would. That suit made right would probably be my favorite Cap figure.

Same here.

SS looks great. I know this figure is seemingly pretty unpopular, but I quite like him. The only thing for me personally that was a miss was the flat chest.

If you're talking about another version of the Strike suit, I definitely see a possibility of seeing a very similar suit. If you've seen Civil War,

Spoiler:

I see Marvel Studios developing a form of the Secret Avengers with Cap breaking his "rogues" (Falcon, Scarlet Witch, Ant-man along with The Wasp, Hawkeye and maybe even Black Widow) from the Raft and hooking back up with Nick Fury to operate in secret before eventually teaming back up with Tony's Avengers to fight Thanos in Infinity War.

The 2.0 suit would look similar to this:

Spoiler:

Who would be on Tony's Avengers team? Vision, Spider-Man, who else? Black Panther perhaps? Although given the extra scene during the credits in CW, I would imagine him more likely being on Cap's side.
