MGS2: Solid Snake [CLOSED]

[Supreme_Snake]

I've also updated the first post wth Maximus' prices.

He said we will likely be finished in around a month and a half painting everything

Hey Frank just noticed the first page says I wanted my Snake head painted, but I don't. I had replied unpainted a few pages back. Will these be shipping soon?

Ok big update finally

PM's went out to the unpainted buyers a couple of weeks ago about a bunch of the suits being finished (11) and to pay any outstanding payments if they needed to.
Scaletta (ssf user woodrob) said they were being packaged up and they would be sent tracking info by woodrob when shipped soon.

The bodies didn't come with neck pegs, so one will need to be purchased to put in the body, any standard hot toys sized neck peg will fit.

Rest of the suits are being finished and will be sent to me when there done, probs gonna be a couple of months before the rest are finished realistically he said... they are ballache to make basically and there is a lot of mistakes that have to be remade due to the nature of the ways its constructed. It's why theres no second run

The plus side is they are putting everything together for you apart from gluing the pouches on. The belt can't open so all pouches will need to be glued to the belts. He said if anyone wants to pm him about anything, feel free (woodrob).

I will have a couple to send to a few of the painted buyers once i get the painted parts back but its only a couple so i'll go down the list and send them out. Rest will be in the second lot along with mine. Scaletta will take some pics of it finished with the painted parts.

Holster will be done at a later date once all the suits are finished, along with the top to go under the flight suit for Pliskin.

***The suit is not the dark as in the pictures he just can't get good light to show it. It's the same colour as the pictures in the first post, same fabric same paint colour.



Painting is almost done, not much left to do so he's asked to start taking payments - see first post for payment details.

 

[Frank Jaeger]

Those who bought extras (boots, hands etc) hold up on payment, i need to find out the individual costs of everything. Max only gave me the price in sets

 

[Cap'n Cook]

Astonishing.

I'm a worrying shade of green right now

I'm a worrying shade of green right now

I'm of similar sentiments.

I enjoy visiting this forum, watching what people create, living vicariously through what other people are doing. But it's really hard to visualize how good some of these projects will turn out when you're at the beginning of the project.

Had I known Snake would end up looking this good, I might have taken a more serious look at my finances at the beginning of this run.

But after this one and Geralt. . . both of which, I would've imagined would be otherwise impossible to tackle in 1/6, I think Scaletta has rocketed to the top of the game right now.

 

[Jameson Rook]

Fantastic stuff!

So it looks like they will need foot pegs as well, correct? Also, just to confirm- will a Pliskin Seal suit ever be made or was that cancelled?

 

[Jameson Rook]

Well, better start painting while waiting for that suit. Back aches and migraine awaits! :yess:

 

[WellCQCaboutthat]

you already got em? sick man! is that all you got or did you get anything else?

 

[Jameson Rook]

I got them less than a week ago, Jason. I bought everything except the hands and gun. I'm hoping to finish painting by the time the suit arrives, though I'm still clueless on how to tackle Pliskin. :lol

 

[Dylan]

I didn't know you painted. You should post your results.

 

[Jameson Rook]

I didn't know you painted. You should post your results.

I will once the suit arrives. I paint everything myself because I'm poor. :lol

 

[WellCQCaboutthat]

Ha! How much you got into this dolly now??? I know with the extras and paint im up to $1057, i havent even found out what the extras will cost me to paint. The base figure painted is about $850ish not including the holster we dont even know the price of yet. Im guessing you got roughly 6 hundy into it. All this money and i have no doubt in my mind its completely worth it to me, no matter what anyone i know personally would say to me if they knew what i spent.
