hi everyone
im starting my custom die hard 4/live free of die hard figure today.
so i am in search for a few items:
wolverine white vest/beater.
brown leather like shoulder holster (left handed preferably)
police badge (subway die hard part preferably)
t-800 arnold body (whiplash body without tattoos would be perfect)
bald bruce willis head
if anybody has any other suggestions for the custom i would really appreciate that and any advice also.
any information on where else to get these parts would be great too.

thank you for your time
[UPDATE OCTOBER 29TH 2010]
its been some time since i updated this with my progress.
i thought i would post a picture of what i have now and ask your advice on how to modify a few things.
(im also going to be moving this over to the customs thread, if a moderator could help me do that, that would be great)
so here is what i have so far:
i am currently using a standard true type body that i think is the narrow shoulder one, with Bruce Willis being a little more bulky and fatter in die hard 4 i decided to add the bulk to the body temporarily using cotton balls and cardboard taped down with duct tape.
i also modified the shirt so that it was more open like in the movie to show more chest.
the shoulder holster is temporary until i get a more accurate one from the dirty johnny figure which is released in mid November.
im still waiting on sunohc for the head sculpt and I am still in search of a painter who can pull off a realistic look other wise i will be doing that myself.
I have on the way the black boots that are more accurate, a white vest/beater (what ever you want to call it)
and as i mentioned before the dirty johnny in November that i will most likely use to make a die hard 1 custom as well.
the help i need with this and the advice i am looking for is on the following:
1) bulking out the body: is there a better way of doing this? (im not much a sculpter and whould not even know what to use)
2) better body: im also still curious about what body to use, i think that the dastan body would be too skinny for this and need some advice or direction on what other body to use? (preferably one i don't have to bulk out.
3) wethering the clothes, how would i go about doing this part to make it look more realistic, also adding bruises and cuts to the body and head needs to be done so any tips on that would be great also.
4) elbow bandage, if you look at the movie he has a bandage on his right elbow with blood on it. any ideas on how to achieve this in 1/6 scale?
5) covering the wrist joints: so im not a big fan of seeing the joints, and so i wanted to know how to cover the wrists? i was thinking a wrist watch would work, what are your thoughts on this?
i look forward to hearing your thoughts.
