Customizing part 4 - both Hamlets finished!

Previously - Part 1: Changing The Doctor into Hamlet - bare arms

Previously - Part 2: Feet for my Hamlet figure

Previously - Part 3: Shirt and Jeans

Yay! Hamlet number 2 is also finished! Doesn't he look striking?



Just as a reminder, this is how it looked before:



I cut off a bit of the jacket at the front, removed the tie and added different lapels and the bowtie.



I also added the button border of the shirt and changed the pockets of the jacket.



The sleeves of the Doctor suit went straight till his hands, but Hamlet has a bit of white shirt sleeves peeking out, which is how a good suit should be worn. So, I added a bit of extra sleeve:



Also with extra buttons, of course:





At the backside, I removed whatever it is called (the thing which makes the jacket more tailored). I also filled up the vent in the middle of the jacket and added two vents right and left instead:



Of course, he also got feet - I think I have to cut them a bit smaller yet:



E voilá!



And Hamlet number 1 got the print on his t-shirt. I think it looks okay if you don't look too closely. I also painted his jeans blue and tried even for a bit of faded look at the knees.



I said don't look too closely!



I made myself some kind of stencil, but it didn't work the way I had originally planned. I thought I could spray it on.





But it smeared too much, so I had to paint it in the end.

Oh, and both former Doctors got their sideburns removed! That was kind of tricky.






On to the whole Hamlet play with actionfigures

lol, no can't have Owen larger than Jack... though, based on ego... i dunno who 'd be bigger. lol.

that would be rad. I would love to see that, specially cause i adore scott/john. they're so damned cute. :D

Yes, they are *sigh* So, so cute, and still so much in love after all this time. Not many people can say that, and especially in the showbusiness! What a heck of an example. Scott must be a very patient man to deal with our John, though ;)

Only problem, the figure has kinda stiff arms, I already tried that famous pose with arms around each other and it doesn't work quite well :( So I am not in a hurry and still in the lookout for a better working figure. If you ever stumble about one you think would work, please let me know?

Oh, and I hope Scott will be in Cardiff again, this time I won't miss my chance for a picture with him!
