Hot Toys- VGM06-Bio Hazard 5-Chris Redfield (BSAA ver) spec + pics

Am I the only one slightly annoyed that the ball joint in Chris' wrists are visible?

No, you're not the only one! I reckon it makes his arms look too much like the sleeves of a jacket - you could just roll up his skin! Although, I suppose if you got his hands in the right position, you wouldn't see the joints. Either way, I am so getting him!!!!!!!

I'm also excited that we are moving closer towards a release of Chris and Sheva. I'm going to try and show my excitement by preparing them some proper fire arms

Here's the repainted Ithaca m37s. Admittedly this paintjob looks less "realistic" but does a better job approximating the appearance of the guns in game(which look distressed with heavy wear on the bluing) and "reads" better for the 1/6 scale. In the first pic the bottom one is original unmodified 21c Ithaca for reference.

For a realistic paintjob I would have painted them flat black and them buffed them afterwards with a soft cloth to bring up the shine. If they were a parkerized finish I'd leave them as is but if blued I would give them a wash of a mixture of blue/black ink. Maybe a real light drybrush with a metalic paint or pastels to enhance the edges.

These are painted with Tamiya flat black, Tamiya gun metal, and assorted Games Workshop browns/inks. I added a loop to the base of the pistol grip with brass wire and used blacken-it to... you know blacken it

I didn't add the toop to the top because it seems silly and the gauge wire I had was hard enough to work with to get nice tight loops. I might get a size smaller brass wire and try again. I could also try with a different metal, maybe aluminum... but then I'd actually need to paint it which could be a drag.

Still workin' on the revision with the laser sight.

Chris face is a lot darker than his arms.and it is not because of the lighting

 

[lerath666]

That's yet ANOTHER reason i dislike the rubber bodies. skintone matching is hit and miss. Least it's an easy fix.

 

[Platty]

Chris looks like a bit of a lesbian tbh

 

[Sup3rman]

[isculpt]

Are the magazines removable from the guns?

 

[Devil_666]

Why are Sheva's arms so damn skinny!? Looks really awkward imo.

 

[hawkeye]

I hate shevas arms.couldnt HT do something better?

 

[VALVOLINER]

Are the magazines removable from the guns?

Yes of course.The magazines are removable in all Hottoys weapons

 

[Furious1]

Are the magazines removable from the guns?

They most likely will be...all other HT weapons have removable mags, movable slides, etc.

 

[isculpt]

Ahh just checking

 

[Cap'n Cook]

These two are looking incredible. So annoyed I cannot fit them into my budget.

I don't know if this has been mentioned already but don't you think the Flak vest from billy sole is great to make a S.T.A.R.S outfit.

 

[Biojex]

^^^ that there is an interesting idea. not perfect, but wouldn't look to bad me thinks.

 

[Platty]

Great spot, it's even got the knife sheath in the correct place

 

[hunnipot85]

Isn't he coming out pretty soon? Next month?

 

[The ill Jedi]

Maybe HT is using that exact vest for the STARS version!
