half shirt for Marvel Legends

Posted in Custom Workstation

I'm trying to think of a way to add a loose half shirt to a custom Marvel Legends of Phoenix. Should I make it out of clothe or try to sculpt it? Any other ideas?

Thanks fro a n00b

I have seen balloons used as well. Cut into pattern and glued at the seems I have seen some very good results on this for loose,tight and where there article of clothing needs to be tight in some spots and loose in others. On the plus side they are cheap and a wide range of colors to practice on to nail down a preferred technique. Hope this helps and happy customizing

yeah, just keep in mind the balloon will deteriorate eventually, and you'll have to replace it. How it deteriorates is anyone's guess, I've seen them simply crumble as well as melt onto the figure, but that won't be for years.

what about using rubber cement or a silicone type material.

Thanks I think I'm going to try this option as well. My scultping ability is still pretty limited.

I think I'd opt for trying to make it out of cloth first, even if it took a few attempts since sculpting a "loose shirt" onto the figure is going to take a fair amount of skill to do right.
