Re: Mal Reynolds Coat and Zoe Vest-SMcG

Hi Chad

I preordered but wasn't billed for shipping.

Re: Mal Reynolds Coat and Zoe Vest-SMcG

Rodney, I just sent over a paypal request for the shipping. The reason why it didn't bill shipping is because I didn't have the Phillipines as an option. If you have any other questions, Please let me know.

Re: Mal Reynolds Coat and Zoe Vest-SMcG

What about that shirt?

Re: Mal Reynolds Coat and Zoe Vest-SMcG

I can't wait to get the vest for Zoe, having the Mal coat, I know it's going to be brilliant quality!

Re: Mal Reynolds Coat and Zoe Vest-SMcG

Thank you to those who have asked about the shirt so far.
I actually made that one up for the photo OP. I need to clean it up a bit before I can make it available. For those of you who have put in an order already and possibly want one, I will see if I can get it cleaned up and made up so no one has to pay extra shpping charges.
How does that sound?

Thanks again everyone...

UPDATE: There are only one or two spots left for each on this month's schedule. After that, I have to see how much fabric I will have left for future Zoe vests.

Now if only I can get my hands on those Trevor sculpts...LOL (patience...patience....patience)

Re: Mal Reynolds Coat and Zoe Vest-SMcG

I thought I would post a few pics of my Mal coat I got from Chad here. I love this jacket! I did some of my own weathering and added a wire to the bottom for poseability. I'm pretty happy with the result. Let me know what you guys think! Apologies for the crappy pics, I'm pretty amateur.

Re: Mal Reynolds Coat and Zoe Vest-SMcG

Looks great. I have mine 50% put together.

Re: Mal Reynolds Coat and Zoe Vest-SMcG

Thanks dwing! I'm working on sowing some buttons to Mal's pants for the suspenders to attach to. Then it's just a waiting game for Stevo's rig and Josh's paint job. Can't wait to get the whole thing together!

Re: Mal Reynolds Coat and Zoe Vest-SMcG

Terrific outfits! Really loving what I'm seeing. I haven't had time to experiment with molding, but I'm pretty sure there will be no issue once I have time. I'll keep everyone updated on the castings.

It will be very fun to see the work everyone does on these!

I also have the Mal coat. I took off the latches or closers that came with it and replaced them with claspes that work. I used 6mm brass rings and put them thru the loops sown on the coat and made a latch from brass stock to hook the two rings together. I feel it improved the look of the coat by getting rid of the oversized brass closers. I've ordered the Zoe vest and shirts from SMcG also. He does great work.

Re: Mal Reynolds Coat and Zoe Vest-SMcG

Do you have pics of the clasps, where'd you pick them up? I was thinking of replacing them as well, just didn't know what to use.

Hey Dane, I made the new clasps. Went to a craft store a bought some 6mm Jump Rings. Removed the latch assy that came with the coat, and inserted a Jump Ring in each sown on loop Went to a local hobby shop and bought some .015" x .25" brass stock. .01" will work as well, maybe better. I ground the stock down close to .1" wide with my Dremel, then finished it with a file till it was a smooth .1" wide. I bent a C bend in one end that will close around the left hand 6mm rings. Measured how long I wanted the clasp portion to be. Bent another C bend in the other end of the clasp piece but did not close that C bend. I used that end as the hook ot latch onto the other 6mm ring. Sorry about no picture right now, camera down.

Sorry for the delay everyone on the Mal Coat/Zoe vest combo orders. I had a batch of side stap materials that didn't work out as well as I liked...I am making a new batch up and hoping to wrap them up this weekend for the rest of you who haven't got your orders yet.
