Three Guys

11/7/2019

I finished the third Mini outfit, and am now waiting for Mini Hope to arrive.  Which means I'm finally free to start on outfits for Baron and Lawrence.

​It's always easier if I can build on existing patterns, so I took Kyle's Boromir outfit....
Picture
...and tried it on Baron....
Picture
The red tunic is a bit snug, and the collar and sleeves are way too short. The black leather tunic fits just fine.  I think he'd look amazing in something similar. Unfortunately (or maybe it's a good thing) the metal filagree I used on Kyle's outfit is no longer available. 
Picture
So then it was Lawrence's turn. He has the FID Muscle body, so his arms are way too massive to fit into the red tunic.  But he could wear the black leather tunic, and wrist guards. I pinned on the furry velour I bought earlier this week, and because he really needs a longer wig, let him borrow Baron's for a few photos.  
Picture
Lawrence definitely has the more rugged look.  I like the longer hair, but it will need to be auburn to match his facial hair....
Picture
Picture
So I'm thinking, with Baron looking a bit more 'elegant', he should get a variation of the Boromir outfit, and Lawrence can get something more rugged like from Game of Thrones...
Picture
And since I had three topless guys standing there, I thought it was the perfect opportunity to take a comparison photo. Kyle is a JID with the original JID Muscle body. Baron is an FID with the FID Model body.  And Lawrence is an FID with the original FID Muscle body.  It's easy to see why Baron will fit into some of my JID outfits, but Lawrence won't.  That guy is huge!
Picture
So it's time to start gathering fabrics and trims....and get started. But 'slowly' since I can't overdo with my wrist in the condition it's in.

My Milo is the same make/model as your Lawrence and I'm with you...he's huge! I've managed to stuff him into some pre-made stuff included a great 1/3 jacket that is baggy but just the right kind of baggy. My biggest problem with him is the shoe department, but I finally got him some sneakers he can wear. I've been procrastinating even trying to sew him something. Seeing him in this kind of historical/fantasy costuming is making me wish for time to try!

The problem was that the first FID guys were all this size body. I personally find it too big. Those wide shoulders make his head look too small scale-wise. And that's even before adding clothes. I much prefer the Model body, which my Rex also has.

I knew my guys would end up as fantasy or historical figures, so bought Iplehouse boots for them right up front. They are expensive, but at least they are well made, and I knew they would fit.
