Official Shin Tool Thread

[micke]

Yes, i forgot about the yellowish tone on the survivor knife..Will fix that tomorrow..i guess i will have to go a bit heavier with the weathering as well..Thanks

My biggest problem at the moment is getting the sonic beam weapon down in the pocket which is pretty small
squeeeze squeeeeeeeze..

Yup! A few minor weathering details & they'll be perfect. They look alot better than mine!

shin tool colors

Anyone have any upclose pics of the actual shin tools? I am trying to do the colors of the markings and want to get them as close as possible.

Ok, I'm new here and butting in, thanks for the pics! They are going to help me out a lot. I am building my own 'Femme-Fett' style armor and will hopefully have it done in a few months...I hope I hope I hope!

Does anyone know the thickness of the squeegee. I'm starting on mine this weekend making it from plexiglass, but the only references I have found deal with width and length. TIA

 

[tteF aboB]

Which area are you looking for thickness? If you post a picture with the areas your looking for I'll measure it for you. I have a Paterson squeege waiting to be finished next winter.

 

[MaxPlague]

They are at least .25" thick. I'll try to measure mine for you when I get home.

 

[RazaKuhn]

The main handle (part with the finger grip) thickness is the only one I need, I can fudge the rest. Thanks!

 

[tteF aboB]

The width on that is exactly 3/8". The small area between the handle outsides is 3/16" (between the top and bottom moving parts. If that made any sense). Post some pics when you get done.

 

[RazaKuhn]

I sure will post some pics. Gonna work on the chest armor tomorrow morning, and I have the parts for the flamethrower sitting right here, not the inside gauntlet flame thrower the one with the telephone cord wrapped around it.

 

[tteF aboB]

Cool. I think I've only seen one prepro suit on this board.

 

[RazaKuhn]

I don't think I'm going to do a preproduction suit. Just a little bit of everything. Mine is going to be more of a display item instead of a costume.

 

[tteF aboB]

Mine to until Halloween rolls around or some other event. Then off the mannequin it will come. I've wanted a life size Don Post (well, used to, till I learned how inaccurate they are) since they came out.

 

[RazaKuhn]

Ok, change of plans I am going to do preproduction I think. Is that the one that is on the cdref where he's leaning forward with the flamethrower out. Has brown gloves and yellow gauntlets?

 

[TK826]

Those are shots of pre-production #2

Some easy to notice differences are:

Prepro #1 = Orange side pouch.
'Eyes' painted on helmet.
Each breast plate is a different shade of green.

#2= yellow gauntlet w/ coil flame thrower.

#3= All reference photographs of prepro #3
have a 'terrible' blue haze.

THere is one other camera shop that has it for around $26.00 bucks with the squeegee going for about $6.00, about $3.00 cheaper than B&H, but that other shops shipping handling charges were murder!

B&H is the best option for now...with many other places selling the squegee in excess of $35.00.

Well, i just hate to glote, but I picked up the squeegee and stir stick at the Ohio Camera Swap in Cincinnati today for all of $10 for the set, and to top it all off, I got in for free (noramlly $5)

(no they didn't have a Graflex 3 Cell and yes I looked)
