I love the Twin Snakes rendition of Solid Snake. He shares the same model sans the mullet and 5 o'clock shadow.

Re: MGS1: Solid Snake [sdabbs] *UPDATE*

Yeah there is actually, the new vest will be finished the end of this week apparently. Hopefully should have a pic of it on my body, not too different from the first proto image on the first post.

Geewhiz said they can fit it in for January but would mean taking half the payment in December which i wasn't sure would be a good time for anymore :lol

We can recap start of December, but for those interested it may be just as well to drop Geewhiz an email once i've shown the final proto vest and deal with it personally as at the minute I'm literally just a middle man. No money passes through me and there is no group discount for a batch as we haven't got the 10 interested.

Thanks for the update Frank. Will send payment later today.

Thanks

OMG just look at that head! I mean look at it! Hideo Kojima would be proud! :clap

As for payment of the boots and accessories, I'll get back to you shortly, Frank.

Re: MGS1: Solid Snake [sdabbs] *UPDATE*

Sean has noted he would like to get the payments for the accessories in before the end of the month if possible

Some better pics. The material of the printed head doesn't reflect the details very well unfortunately

Re: MGS1: Solid Snake [sdabbs] *UPDATE*

Hi frank is there a way the pouches can be made slimmer? (So that they do not stick out too much relative to the body). This way it will look a lot better when on the figure, particularly the larger square pouch

 

[Frank Jaeger]

MGS1: Solid Snake [sdabbs] *UPDATE*

Not now no as these have already been printed unfortunately... but that being said those are scaled correctly to a body, based on how they looked in the game.

Bare in mind the knee pads in the pics with them will be pretty small, the images might be making them appear bigger than they actually are.

If you personally want them thinner when you get them in hand, I would suggest possibly sanding the back of the pouches, but I won't be doing that myself

Re: MGS1: Solid Snake [sdabbs] *UPDATE*

Sounds great frank. Any options for solid snakes belt/leg harnesses ?

 

[Frank Jaeger]

MGS1: Solid Snake [sdabbs] *UPDATE*

For the belt I'm just using one of the black ones with a clip closure on the front that would typically be used on like an army figure. The clip on mine is black but I'll paint it silver

I looked into get a proper clip fastener made but it just wouldn't have been feasible casting it in resin

The leg harness again I picked up from existing parts. I think mine had 2 straps and I just cut one off. It's a black fabric one and is has a pocket for a mag clip on the front

Harness will be a little more tricky I'm using the one from the Yamato figure at the minute

If I can find some metal clips I might have a stab at making some but don't hold me to that :lol

 

[Frank Jaeger]

MGS1: Solid Snake [sdabbs] *UPDATE*

I'll try and grab some images for you guys on what I think could work

I was considering buying this holster for example, it's got white stitching but that's nothing that a bit of sharpie or a fabric paint pen won't cover up. I'd remove one of the straps too

If anyone else has anything please fell free to contribute, I'm not professing to be an expert on anything here! I've had various help with this project off a number of people which has inevitably made it better
