Good. After Christmas is perfect, since I'm currently bleeding money into presents right now.

Damn it is taking a long time, not much i can do either as it's been delivered to your local sorting office.

Bruin is in the same boat and messaged me about it not long after you did. I called Royal Mail and asked about it and they said there's nothing that can do either than wait until the 14th December for USPS to either ship it out or return to sender.

Having said that, there's still a big chance it'll turn up. The first Solid Snake head print from the US to UK took almost 2 and a half months because of shipping backlog. I have a package that the caster dropped off at the post office to ship to me 8 days ago that is still sat in their office because of the backlog, it hasnt even left the US yet.

Even so, if it is indeed lost we can try and sort something out.

Still havent got my package yet matt, Im bummed and think it got lost.

No problem man. If i have to pay shipping just to get a new tattoo, head, and pouches made back and forth i will. I just wanna know if **** hits the fan with the post office i can have a plan b and still get my stuff made. I appreciate all your efforts. Im sure itll turn up either to me or to you, my nightmare is itll get completely lost. Thanks matt!

How much balance is required for the coat again? I forgot.

Re: [sdabbs] MGS: Liquid Snake

$68 plus shipping for the jacket only

 

[Jameson Rook]

Re: [sdabbs] MGS: Liquid Snake

That's minus the deposit, correct? When do you need the payment?

 

[Frank Jaeger]

Re: [sdabbs] MGS: Liquid Snake

Yes minus the $10 deposit, it's all on the first post.

Payment will be when the jackets are being made. Still waiting on the final finished proto.

No nothing really.

He sent me some pics of the trousers but they still needed some adjustments to the fit so just waiting on them to finalise everything now.

Hoping for it to be finalised in the next couple of weeks

Re: [sdabbs] MGS: Liquid Snake

FINALLY got my liquid snake head from matt after getting lost in the mail and resent. its really nice. i will say though that i had to take a dremel to the hole for the neck connector and modify the neck on my body to get it to fit perfectly. the hole is slightly off center from the face and isnt wide enough for a muscular ttm-19. after some rework though it looks perfect! im about to apply the decal to his arm after i look on the internet for its exact placement. thanks matt!

Good to hear. Glad you finally got yours.

Re: [sdabbs] MGS: Liquid Snake

thanks a lot man! did you apply the tattoo yet? not sure how to do it and i dont want to mess it up. is it like a temp tattoo? peel the paper, use water and slide it to the right spot and smooth it out? not sure if its a sticker.

Re: [sdabbs] MGS: Liquid Snake

I haven't tried yet. The body I got originally I'm not sure is actually what I wanted and I plan to leave the jacket on anyway so I'll wait till I'm ready.

Re: [sdabbs] MGS: Liquid Snake

yeah, i want to apply mine. im going to put a layer of dullcote over it so it cant scratch off either. i just confirmation on how to apply it since i want to do it one shot. not sure if im going to display him with or without his coat on. i need to get some fists for the coat on pose. off the bat im going to do the coat off with famas pose i suppose.

I find Decalfix is the best stuff to use but not sure if its available outside the UK.

Here is a vid of how it works

If not water will work followed by dullcote but i know this stuff gives better results.
