Pete Manders Making My Suit In Progress

[XPredX]

Well there is only one profylestudios with TJ in Canada, so I guess that is a yes.

 

[Slick Predator]

true true, how long did it take to get it?

 

[Slick Predator]

Dear slick_hawk,
 
Just finished painting your head.  Half way through painting the chest.  Then I will start painting the hands, feet and legs.  All painting should be finished Tuesday.  Then I will put it together.  Should be ready to ship Friday(give or take a day).  Tee

should have pics tomorrow

 

[inkmonster]

To bad Pete isnt painting it or Scott for that matter. Your actually not getting Petes sculpt those skins and mask are from Scott Marshalls molds. I can tell by the sculpt.

 

[Slick Predator]

@inkmonster Thanks for that information but your wrong.  (not trying to argue over something so petty but you can youtube them both or just go to there website) It is Petes molds.  But to more pressing issues:

Dear slick_hawk,
 
My dad does the spears.  I will ask him if he has one available.  Unfortunately the spine mold is no longer in my possession.  I will send you a skull with the order (NO CHARGE) As for quills I glued them to the head last night.  I will send you pictures tomorrow morning of the torso, head and pants.  The other parts pictures will be send before I box the costume.  Thanks TEE

Ha.. Inkmonster not only knows both of them personally but has experience with the molds.. I'm pretty sure he doesn't have to look em up on YouTube. And Scott used to work with Pete

 

[inkmonster]

Yeah wasnt try to stir up **** but there definaly Scott Marshalls molds I do know them both personally have had one of Petes P1 suits. And I know from talking to him that his molds atleast for the torso were destroyed long ago. I can tell thats Scotts mask and legs to I know both sculpts very well and thats not a bad thing that you got Scotts his is abit more screen accurate. As he used the orignal costume as reference where Pete used the maquettte that Steve Wang sculpted a few years ago.

 

[Slick Predator]

Thanks for the info guess I was wrong but either way im still happy.  Thats cool that you know them personaly, wish i knew them like that.  Overall thanks for clearifying that

UPDATE!!!


Dear slick_hawk,

Here are some photos for you. The pants still need to be silvered on the armor. Once the costume parts are all glued in place I will send you some completed pictures before I box it. Thanks Tee

Is it just me but do the dreadlocks look smaller than usual? Constructive criticism is welcomed. please let me know what you think.

 

[ptgreek]

Ya.. A little bit

 

[inkmonster]

Yeah they look really short why does he keep sending you such small pics and through ebay? Is he trying to hide something by sending you pics so small you cant see the quality of the work?  As far as knowing them no big deal I like Pete he became a good friend over the years. Scott turned out to be not a good friend at all and I would never deal with him. Ive never met TJ personally but have spoke to him and he was a friend on facebook. Didnt really care for his additude much.

 

[Slick Predator]

Naw, I dont think he trying to hide anything because they get bigger on ebay when I scroll over or click on them.  It's okay because he will be sending them via email now. You guys really have this site ORGANIZED. (Usurper, ptgreek, doubleH, and a few more) Nearly every question has been answered.  Easily spend 4 hours on here. lol

400$ for a finished torso, that aint much right? And looking good there '' Slick predator '' ! (Y)

 

[Slick Predator]

Still waiting on pics to be sent... hopefully tomorrow.

 

[Slick Predator]

3 days now... should be getting some kind of update anytime now.  "Patience is a Virtue"

Dear slick_hawk,

All that's left to finish is the netting, clear coat the hands and feet, And to remove some of the shorter dreads to be replaced with the longer ones, and of course the velcro. I will send you pics of the chest and legs before netting. The plastic gaunts were just glued on as you will see in the pics. Hope your not like me and have your Christmas shopping done. Its been a hellish few days. Anyways I wish you a Merry Christmas, talk to you soon Tee
