    Fantastic tutorial! One of the things that bugs me most about the Macfarlane figures is the rubber capes so I'm gonna try this for sure! Can't wait to see the shots you get with this guy!

    Very cool tutorial. Thanks for posting! The part where you were drilling into his collar bone horrified me because if that drill bit slipped it was going right into your thumb. Thanks again though and I think I've said it before but if not, you have totally inspired me in this hobby. You're always the first person I tag in my posts because I think you are the best and you introduced me into the hobby.

    Simple yet effective 👌 And where it's now a posable cape, any imperfections in the sewing actually adds to the pose. Well done!

    Awesome video man. I like the whole leaving wire at the end and drilling holes into his collar area. One of my greatest challenges with custom capes is how to attach them. Some of the Batman figures such as Arkham asylum, Keaton 1989, you can just put the entire cape under the neck of the cowl. Designs like tbis one, baffleck and others are much more intricate. Thanks for sharing this video. It’s very informative and helpful.

    Do you think that this would work with Gunpla, as well? Because I have these two fabrics that I picked up recently that I want to make into a custom flowing and poseable cape for one of my recent kitbashes. Also, wouldn't it be better to use a fabric glue instead of super glue?

    • @sirdork730
      @sirdork730  Год назад

      This would absolutely work with gunpla! It’d probably look sick actually! And yeah fabric glue is also something that works well with the capes. You can probably get away with using glue instead of sewing!

    • @TennoFox897
      @TennoFox897 Год назад
