IDM Customs - MGS2 Solid Snake Full Figure [LIST CLOSED]

[Snake Plissken]

Yeah I had posted that one last night, problem is they can't be bought in bulk and since it's from Biohazard 5 they can be a little more pricey in places.

John has a 3D printer so he might be able to shop all this stuff himself.

 

[Frank Jaeger]

Thanks for all the options Elvis, Plissken

Plissken showed me the beretta yesterday. I'd kinda like the laser attachment to be more accurate to the game like on the front cover.

Hopefully that can just be an attachment that's made but if not i'll settle for the RE one if there's the former isn't an option

 

[elvis1976]

Yeah the best solution would be to 3D scan those and print them.

Everything metal gear looks easy to find at first but actually it's pretty hard. Even the pouches have a specific shape and look.

 

[Snake Plissken]

Another thing too, the suppressor has a sight on it in the game so 3D printing would be the best bet.

 

[Snake Plissken]

Poor quality, but you can see the two sights on the suppressor.

 

[Frank Jaeger]

Yep in a perfect world they would all be the correct pistol with the correct attachments

Let's wait and see what John says about printing them himself. If it's going to cost a lot to buy 20 pre existing guns that aren't 100% it might just be as well to suck up a bit more money and get authentic ones

The one thing John did say was he's like to buy as much as he can as to keep the printing to a minimum to keep the cost down

 

[elvis1976]

Yea I would prefer put a bit more money and get the real thing if possible.

:exactly:

It's already going to be an expensive figure, I don't mind throwing more into it.

Me too the more accurate the better.

Could you not buy a load is hand guns and the 3D print the silencer with the iron sights on it?
May be easier and cheaper

Awesome so much passion in this project hope it turns out well.

 

[Platty]

I love this thread already as reading the exchanges, it sounds exactly like what I used to think about when I was planning my snake custom. :lol

Like I was just about to point out the little sights on the M9's suppressor!

Also just to say, I have both the HT Resi Evil M9 and dragon USP guns, so if it comes down to it and numbers are tight on those, i'd take 1 for the team and dip out

It might even be good to send those to John to get scanned for the rest of us.

 

[krec9]

everyone going on about guns here .The boots are a pain I remember when i did my MGS1 trying to find the metal boss boots think he has the same boots as well.

 

[Frank Jaeger]

Depending on how much each gun costs it may be no different to get them make them all from scratch instead of buying the gun and making the attachment and silencer

I'm sure John will tell us the best way to go. Platty i wouldn't worry about dipping out. It may be a good idea as Pliss said to send both the pistols to John though so he can scan them if he want's to do it this way

 

[Frank Jaeger]

Boots are going to have to be printed anyways so i wouldn't worry

In terms of bashing those were problematic along with the suit. You just couldn't get the bits to make it 100% hence a full figure being the best option

They're close but not very accurate.

 

[krec9]

I don't think they're similar.

Yea i have those on my MGS1 custom used two different pair of boots to make those.

 

[Frank Jaeger]

I have the Metalboss boots and while they are good enough for a bash they aren't 100%

Looking at the MB boots, they're close but not quite.

 

[Frank Jaeger]

Yeah, that was kind of my point about bashing a Snake

It's better to go this full figure route and actually get things accurate. You can bash a Snake from various similar parts but it'll never be totally accurate unless some bits are specifically made

That was one thing that really started to annoy me about the bash

Looking at the MB boots, they're close but not quite.
