Re: MGS1: Solid Snake Project sculpted by sdabbs *TAKING PAYMENT ON THE HEAD*

As a few have pm'd me regarding deadline for payment of the head


Deadline for payment of the head sculpt will be at the end of the week (Sunday - 11/05/2014)

Please get your payments in by then and i will recap with Sean to see where we are at, we need at least 18 to even get this to go to the printers and to move the project along and keep it in production.



This is Seans actual job and source of income and he doesn't usually do interest runs. Due to the initial interest in the head he kindly took on the project but If we don't reach 18 the heads quota, it will not go to print and thus most probably neither will the Pouches, Knee + Elbow pads and the boots, effectively rendering the project useless.

If by Sunday this is the case we will have to recap on whether the project can still go ahead, as without Sean involvement, the head and other specific items that need to be printed won't be available anymore.



So i guess my main point is - even if the suit is out of your price range or you don't care for it, but are interested in the Head and Accessories then please send your payment to Sean by Sunday to keep the project from collapsing.

Even if it's just to upgrade parts on a current MGS Solid Snake custom, or if you are just starting one then the printed items being offered are essential. The boots and pouches would also work for MGS2 Snake.

It's honestly worth it for the Head, Boots, Pouches and pads alone. There's no other way to get these items made accurately, it'd be a shame to waste everyone's time and potentially lose out on as accurately made parts.




Below are pictures of the Pouches, Elbow and Knee Pads

Here's a WIP of the boots, these are still being worked on and the below isn't the finished boots, i know there are still some inaccuracies

Just wanted to get these up so people have an idea of what all the bits are shaping up like.

I'm not trying to force anyone's hand here, just being honest with all. If there are people who are on the fence just due to the suit then it may help clear up some stuff and see the main parts get printed as i highly doubt these will ever be offered or mass produced

Thanks for the update Frank.
Pouches, pads and boots look great!
Hopefully we get to 18 or close to it as it would be a shame not to get that beautiful sculpt.

My thoughts exactly croozer :hi5:

This is probably the best in-game representation of Solid Snake from MGS1 your going to get. Sean really nailed it
 
Re: MGS1: Solid Snake Project sculpted by sdabbs *TAKING PAYMENT ON THE HEAD*

You can take me off the list. Price is getting a bit too high for me with the outfit. Think I'll hold off and hope that the MGS 2 version pans out at some point. Thanks.

Still 100% in for the head but will struggle to get payment for the deadline.
 
Re: MGS1: Solid Snake Project sculpted by sdabbs *TAKING PAYMENT ON THE HEAD*

I'm down with the head.
 
Re: MGS1: Solid Snake Project sculpted by sdabbs *TAKING PAYMENT ON THE HEAD*

Yes me too. I think everything looks great so far and really want an MGS1 Snake on my shelf.
 
Re: MGS1: Solid Snake Project sculpted by sdabbs *TAKING PAYMENT ON THE HEAD*

Payment sent
 
Re: MGS1: Solid Snake Project sculpted by sdabbs *TAKING PAYMENT ON THE HEAD*

Bumping for payments

Only a couple of days left, gotta have them all in by Sunday, unless for whatever reason you need a couple of etxra days then let me know and i can tell Sean, as he said it's fine if people need to arrange the payment
 
Re: MGS1: Solid Snake Project sculpted by sdabbs *TAKING PAYMENT ON THE HEAD*

Been meaning to post here. Sorry, but I have to bow out. I just can't fit it into the budget right now which bums me out. I got flex payments I'll be dealing with, on top of that I need to buy things that I couldn't get at time of release.
 
Re: MGS1: Solid Snake Project sculpted by sdabbs *TAKING PAYMENT ON THE HEAD*

No worries man, i'll you off the list
 
Re: MGS1: Solid Snake Project sculpted by sdabbs *TAKING PAYMENT ON THE HEAD*

It's not looking good in getting to 18. I count 7 paid sculpts and the deadline is Sunday.
If we don't get to 18 hopefully something can be worked out with Sean :pray:

Sorry but I don't think that's happening now, not enough payments came in off the interest list to warrant Sean printing a head to paint and show unfortunately.

You can view Petes work from the link on the first page though, if you were waiting to see it painted. The printed head will look pretty much how it is on the design, albeit without all the lighting and shadows

Any news on a painted head preview?

Ok so I've been speaking with Sean and he's said he's cool with extending the deadline for payments on the head until the end of the month.

I've also asked him to make the hair thicker and messier on top and the back, is there anything else you guys see that could make an improvement on the head?

I'll be able to send payment come Wednesday. Just had a week worth of vacation and I'm a bit short on dough.
 
Re: MGS1: Solid Snake Project sculpted by sdabbs *TAKING PAYMENT ON THE HEAD*

Ok awesome!

If we change the hair to make it longer in length and messier like it is in the game, nobody who has already paid would object? It is making the hair more accurate to the game as it's a little too short and neat.

Would this change make people more inclined to get it?
