Re: UPDATE! WIP Custom/Kitbash Michael Jackson Thriller Werecat!!!

Incredible!!!!!

Thanks sir!! :hi5:

Really turned out great Kuz, top notch thriller Michael you have there :rock

Thank you very much master Ski!! :bow

Dude that is badass!!! I'd like to hear the story of how it came together.

It's a long story... :lol
here it goes!!

Back in 2008 when HT announced the Billie Jean Michael Jackson
I thought a Thriller Werecat would be awesome!
I started looking for parts, and an existing HS,
I found a resin kit sold long ago, made by Mike Hill,produced by 5th sense. Had to mod it, cut it and make compatible with a TT. Zeek72 helped me out cutting the head from the body, as he has the right tools for it.
The pants are Dragon, from the A2 flight jacket. Body, socks, shoes and feet are HT.
Then the hard part was the Jacket, I commissioned it to A.J. Clothiers
and it turned out great!!
The "M" patch was commissioned to The Patch Hut, they do amazing stuff!!
The display base is from HT's Predator, the log from SS Yoda, and the tombstones I found @ Big Lot's during Halloween.

I had to mod the head and hands, add some Epoxy clay, sand it, drill it, cut it and do a whole lot of little things to make it work.
Then painted it with acrylics, gave it a coat of gloss to make him look as close as possible to the real thing.
And finally, the fun part was adding the Faux Fur, it takes a lot of time and patience, but it makes it look badass!!

As I mentioned earlier, I still had to trim it, use some hairspray, and add the whiskers!
I'll finish it tonight!! :rock!


Wow man that came out amazing man bravo :clap

It looks just like him / holy crap i am impressed :panic:

Thanks dude!

This turned out amazing! Well done! I love the sculpt with the fur, and the jacket really ties everything together. My only criticism is the base might be a little too cluttered, but the gravestones rock.

Appreciate the feedback!

I'm using the HT Predator base, and it has a little puddle in the middle, but made it look more like he pissed himself :lol!
So I decided to uses SS Yoda log, as a nod to when he knocks down a trunk on the video, and just for kicks added the severed leg from a SS The Dead figure.

:hi5:
 
This looked incredible at the show...you can tell by how many people snapped photos of it :bow
 
Custom of the year right here :rock

Woah, thanks dude, I'm humbled by this comment...

Still, I love how my project looks, and I am really proud of what I managed to do with it! :wave
