Hrist's Coat X

Most of the parts for the coat are now completed! Waiting on some of the sealer to cure and in need of a wire solution for the small hangy thingies that I need to attach.  Slowly but surely this is starting to take some shape! :D

Hrist's Coat IX

Notions arrived!!! Now, I can prep these parts and get ready to finish the coat part once and for all!

I do have my work cut out for me, most of the parts are real small, thin, and well, quite fragile. Surprisingly they held up rather well for small details. So why are the feather emblems so large then? Cause I wanted them to be! A personal mod on the original that I wanted. Same with the back plate. It'll be covering my wonky hand stitching where the liner and main coat all come together too! Haha!

Flintlock Gun II

Finishing up final details on both of Hrist's guns!

Few more things to go. Still waiting on those notions to arrive hopefully toward the end of this week if I'm lucky. Got a bad feeling Shapeways probably won't print these guns without 'alterations' though. Always something. I plan to try a full solid print first and see how it goes, with backup solutions on standby for the inevitable rejection...

Flintlock Gun I

Side project! I don't think Hrist's outfit that I'm working on would be complete without a pair of flintlock guns! Yup, quite a bit of project work has been going on this month, wish I could say the same for my sleep! Haha, Ah well, it can't be helped. :P

Lot of time was spent detailing. Not sure much of it will hold out on a 1/3 print, assuming I can even have this thing printed. I'll find out once I get to that point... there's always some snag though so I'm anticipating it haha!

I have one more gun to make, I'll be a double barreled version though.

Hrist's Coat VIII

Phew, what a week, quite a bit of work has been done, as far as modeling out notions and some sewing details coming to a close. Still a load of work to be done!

I need to start drafting up her hat too. I want to get some wood for a steam block but dunno if I will be able to do what I have in mind for it. X_X Or even make it for that matter....

In the mean time... I have some other 3D projects going on for this coat project as well. More on that later though... ;)

Hrist's Coat VII

Lots of parts being modeled! Lots of work to do, and lots more ideas up in the air for finishing this project. Once I get all the modeling, and detailing done it'll be nice. I have about 4 more parts for the coat to complete before I start getting them ready for printable parts. Always fun stuff that part is.

Hrist's Coat VI

Progress has been made! I've got a lot of work to do on this coat. Thinking I should have added an extra inch to the front flap. I'll just have to wing how it turns out. Seemed ok on my first build. but now I'm having second thoughts haha. oh well.
Almost time to figure out how this liner is going to work.... lot of odd shapes on this coat that are not going to make it easy for my amateur sewing skills X_X
