That is great news. This game rules. Joel would make an awesome figure with all those accessories.

Wow I must have missed this. Amazing work man. :rock
Yeah, I posted these a little while back. Other than the rifles, everything had to be custom made, including Sully's Wes44.

Re: [IDM Customs] Uncharted Drake and Sully Finished!
Hey guys, I'll probably finish Drake and Sully soon and plan on doing Chloe and Elena next. Anyone have suggestions on some good articulated female bodies that are readily available? I'm not crazy about the Phicen body. Jen bought one to try out and the proportions look really weird. I have a HT Alice body and it's really nice, but they're not easy to find. I got a Triad Alpha body from Swedishheat for the Elizabeth figure and it's pretty nice, but I'm not sure if they have a darker skintone for Chloe or not. Anyone have good suggestions on which body I should make the sculpts for?

The upcoming PlayToy female bodies would be an option.

Commando, thanks for the suggestion buddy. Any links or images on that body? And do you know if they have other skintones?

Re: [IDM Customs] Uncharted Drake and Sully Finished!
When I finished my Drake and Sully figures, I wanted to do a base similar to what I did for my custom Punisher figure. Collecting statues and garage kits for so long, I've always loved how dynamic some bases can feel and how much it can add to the presentation of a character. So I set out to do some sort of Aztec or Mayan base for Drake.
Jen made the design of the base and logo in Adobe Illustrator in vector form and my friend Jeff Wilhelm from Dragon Forge Designs helped finish the design. The base was laser-engraved with a real wood base, then molded and casted in wax for further hand detailing and sculpting.
Here is how the base looks after we got the wood engraved piece back.
Jeff then molded and sculpted extra details onto the engraved piece and it looks absolutely phenomenal!
And here is the final casted piece. I'll be painting this up and will have some more pics of the final bases once done. I can't wait to get the figures on these!
Dragon Forge produces some of the most amazing gaming bases around. You can see Jeff's amazing work at his site here: https://www.dragonforge.com/
Jeff, if you're reading this, thank you!!! I couldn't have done it without you buddy!
I'm not sure if anyone wants these bases so I didn't plan on offering them. If anyone wants one, just let me know. I should have mine finished and painted pretty soon.
Both Drake and Sully should be finishing within the next few weeks and I'll keep everyone updated.

Re: [IDM Customs] Uncharted Drake and Sully Finished!
I'll have to check with Jeff since this is all of his work. Jen only did the vector design on this one. If I had to guess, he'll offer them unpainted for around $50-60.
This base is pretty big. It's about 8 inches in diameter and looks astonishing in person. I'm currently painting it as we speak and there's just so much detail it's insane.
Just post if you guys are interested. I think we have 2 guys on the interest list right now and maybe we can ask Jeff for a price break if we can get a few orders to him.

Re: [IDM Customs] Uncharted Drake and Sully Finished!
Yup definitely. Since there's one for Drake and one for Sully, I wanted to paint them in two different colors. One is a sort of green brushy "ruin" color and the other I plan to paint a sandish stone type color. I'll take some pics to see which one looks better and which one you guys prefer. I think they'll both look nice and will contrast each character. I definitely didn't want them to have the exact same base.
I'll let you guys know once I hear from Jeff and I'll see how long it takes to finish one of these up and will price you the final painted one very soon.

Here are the photos of the final painted bases my friend Jeff of Dragonforge made. These are just absolutely beautiful. The details came out so nice and it makes painting all that much more fun. Jeff added so much little sculpted details to these. They look phenomenal once displayed with the figures. Check my pictures below of my set up for Drake and Sully!
Be sure to check out Jeff's work on his site at https://dragonforge.com/ and be sure to like his Facebook page here: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Dragon-Forge-Design-Inc/
Base Pricing
The pricing on the base is $100 fully painted (includes shipping and Paypal fees). The unpainted base is $60 shipped. Jeff will be on vacation starting September 18th so let me know if you guys want one before then because he told me that he'll be gone for at least a month so he can get the casts done before he leaves and I can paint them and ship them together with the Drake and Sully figures when they're ready (probably within the next few weeks). My Paypal email is [email protected] and remember to include your ID and note how many and which color(s) you want.

Those bases are incredible! There level of detail...and the paintwork compliments them perfectly.
