Some SICK Realistic Joe Customs

[Cloud Strife]

This dude does some sick work with slings and buckles. Not to mention, his customs are just nicely done, period.

I wish I could make slings like that.

Oh, yeah. I meant to add that he goes by horus0129 over at Hisstank. I've reached out a few times, but to no avail.

Thats the way it goes over there. You're right though that is some slick shit.

If you want buckles the size of western belt buckles and straps the size of tow straps, then fine. Little out of scale for a 1:18 fig, imo.

Here are examples of more properly sized straps/buckles -

And can't leave this guy out -

That's some slick work, Obi-Shinobi! How in the world do you make the slings with the clips and buckles? Is there an online tutorial somewhere?

slings and straps aren't difficult once you settle on a material you like, possess a straight edge and an exacto knife.

Or if you are Obi-Shinobi!

Love your work, Obi! Haven't seen much new from you lately???

 

[Obi-Shinobi]

Well... I have a few new things in the works. Most are done, just waiting for picture day.

Cool thanks for sharing. I've been using non adhesive radiator hose repair tape to make straps. Not as realistic as the canvas though.
