Frank said there is a second run, you can get in if you want. I am, I'm not making the same mistake again and let it slip by.

I can't do it, no cash.

You are so lucky plis, i am proud youre getting one bud.

Thanks Jason. I'm glad too, I got so depressed when I saw the painted head photos :lol I didn't get in on it before due to money, but I'll swing it this time.

Re: MGS1: Solid Snake [sdabbs] - CLOSED

I spent so much money at once and put off bills to get mine in. When i saw my window was slamming shut i got the sweats and went all in. Itd be silly for me not to get this in my collection. I cant wait until i have everyone all lined up in their glory. We need a ninja, a fully cloth/spandex outfit with a sculpt would be unreal. Id pay a bomb for it. Youd need sculpted hands, boots, and a sword to go with it. I also want a octocamo facemask sculpt. Its insane what id spend on these customs.

Guess what arrived in the mail today?

In hand, the sculpt is INCREDIBLE, and easily the best Snake sculpt ever made, commercial or custom. The scale is the same as the HT Naked Snake so they should look good together. Overall it's a year long wait well worth it.

Nice man! Cant wait to see yours completed, congrats! You should be getting his uniform soon too.

Re: MGS1: Solid Snake [sdabbs] - CLOSED

glad it arrived there safe bud!

Ryan didn't get the clothing set and it was unpainted, hence why he has it already. All the unpainted parts went out a couple of weeks ago

The rest are all with me waiting for the heads and parts to be painted to ship out

Re: MGS1: Solid Snake [sdabbs] - CLOSED

I can't wait to see snakes vest in person, I want to see the details in the stitch work on it.

Awesome man! Can't wait to see it after you paint it.

I still can't believe how incredible it looks. I didn't expect to see it come out as well as it did, I can't critique it at all.

Thanks guys!

How much is the new run of heads? Also, is the suit sold separately from the vest?

Re: MGS1: Solid Snake [sdabbs] - 2nd small run open

That's a good question. I think I might be interested in just a suit as well!

Re: MGS1: Solid Snake [sdabbs] - 2nd small run open

Here is a rough preliminary shot of how he looks, please note that the neck isn't connected to the head as I don't have the ball joint at the moment, hence the giraffe neck and the belt isn't fastened. I haven't put on the boots as I need to saw off the calves due to the nature of the sculpted boots.

Re: MGS1: Solid Snake [sdabbs] - 2nd small run open

That's definitely TTS Snake.

 

[Frank Jaeger]

Re: MGS1: Solid Snake [sdabbs] - 2nd small run open

Nah unfortunately the clothing is a set, they won't do them separately

Everything is the same price, if not many people are interested or just want the heads and accessories, i might not do another short run as it's just a lot of hassle, when i've already done it once and there was a year + for everyone to decide

I'm not 100% sure yet, need to see if people are interested in a second run and what they want etc to decide

Re: MGS1: Solid Snake [sdabbs] - 2nd small run open

This thing is perfection. I think I asked before, but what hands is everyone gonna use?

 

[WellCQCaboutthat]

Re: MGS1: Solid Snake [sdabbs] - 2nd small run open

I'm just going to paint the stock hands black until I find suitable ones

 

[Frank Jaeger]

Re: MGS1: Solid Snake [sdabbs] - 2nd small run open

I'm using some Sideshow cobra commander gloves i think but I'm going to look for some suitable hot toys ones, probably have to get them repainted or just do it myself

They just need to be plain gloves, get them painted to match the boots etc, or leave them black

Re: MGS1: Solid Snake [sdabbs] - 2nd small run open

well the game has the white squares on the top of his hands as well if you look at the in game shot.

 

[Frank Jaeger]

Re: MGS1: Solid Snake [sdabbs] - 2nd small run open

Well yes, but i didn't mention that because i doubt most of you are going to try and sculpt the pads over the knuckles, but that would be the step before painting. There are no hands on the market similar

the pads are grey also, same colour and the clips on the vest and the buckle of the belt

Re: MGS1: Solid Snake [sdabbs] - 2nd small run open

i found female gloves that were near perfect but too bad theyre too small. i got milliput, im gonna figure out something like i did last time but this time ill do it much cleaner.

Re: MGS1: Solid Snake [sdabbs] - 2nd small run open
