Just a pic of my screen accurate Rig for y'all

M56 web set, each mag pouch contains x4 20rd mags, all loaded with INERT 5.56 rounds.

Thanks man.. I'm a Nam Re-enactor as my main hobby, it was literally going Spare in a box of web gear parts.

I'm slowly talking with him still, yes.
He's been busy with other new project and leather ventures. But I'm gearing him back up for talks on the X1 updates. All is not lost, I promise.

Hey Drool,

Do you know if he still offers the X-2? I've been in love with the jacket ever since I saw yours at the beginning of this thread. Would love to know if it's still available.

I am not really sure what to do about Logan's Closet. I spoke with him and he told me he had a coat ready to go so I paid for it on the 19th of last month, I've only heard from him one time... I can't get back in touch with him and I still don't have a coat!

Got this Jacket at K-mart. Not exactly accurate but it's cool.

I got the Singer X-men dogtag off ebay and gonna mod these claws

Batfan I got those same 2 items! Here's my KMart X1, I painted the stripes with acrylic Apple Barrel "Golden Sunset" I did the waist stripe too, just can't see it in this photo

 

[Bowelrock]

How much was it? Is it leather?

 

[batfan10]

JLeezy23 Thats so funny!! And awesome! The Jacket looks great!! I'll have to defiantly give it a try.

Howd your claws come out?

Bowelrock, I found it online! Cheaper than what I payed for!!

It's not leather. Site says Polyurethane

Great for a budget Wolverine!

 

[JLeezy23]

I got mine in December in-store for $45. And now there $19.99??? Need a trip to k mart! My claws came out ok but I drilled into them with a bit that was wider than a wire hanger, so I had to fill it in with hot glue. Here's a few more good shots of the jacket

 

[wolfman10]

Nice jackets guys! I had a similar idea I bought a faux leather jacket and faux leather material and had a local seamstress make me a Wolverine jacket. I plan on buying an actual X-1 jacket one day, but for now I'm happy with it!

Hey guys, I have been working on some 'The Wolverine' claws. Let me know what you think. Go through the link in my sig to see more images in my JY thread. Here are some WIP pics:

Looks great. I 'd love to see a split view of your work vs a screen shot for comparison. I realize the claws have a new design but it's hard to tell what's really changed.

Hey Drool,

Just email Jorge about it. He still has the patterns. Let him know I sent you.

This is my collection of Wolverine's dog tags, I have been collecting them for years and I decided to make them a display box.

I want one if these!

 

[wolfman10]

Thanks superDrool, I made it myself. I just bought the dog tags, used screen caps from the movies, and put it all in a shadow box. I really hope The Wolverine does not feature dog tags, but if they do I think it would be safe to say it would be the WW2 style because of the flash back to Hiroshima. I haven't seen him wearing any tags in the trailers or promo pictures though.

You got it! I pulled as many hi-res pics as I could find and as we all know not all the shots involve physical claws... some of it is CGI. Which is probably why they always look like they are coming out of his hands in a different spot. So I kind of took the average of what I saw and built my claws on that. I also think I know why they don't 'wrap' over his knuckles... because the top of the blade is sharp too. Which makes sense cause from what I know of Wolverine he can cut through anything no matter which way he swings his claws. Anyways, my claws need a little more sanding to be perfect but I think it is pretty good so far. So here you go:

My new "The Wolverine" Claws.

 

[batfan10]

Looking good! It's interesting how they dont overlap to the top of his hands anymore. I didnt notice that untill you mentioned it! Good looking!!

I'm doing my first set (modding the origin plastic claws).
