Eh, my was 80% positive.

 

[SwedishHeat]

David Cortez' review was so positive, they posted it twice.

 

[Snake Plissken]

My review wasn't overly scathing, but it was honest. I guess it was more negative than most.

Love this figure for the price

Finally in hand after a long delay, happy enough! Camera flash is not this figure's friend, other than that I'm happy to display him out of the box.

That would be the ultimate insult for a collectible: "I wouldn't even display this IN the box".

Looks great. Nice work on that base. Is that a metal etched name plate?

 

[Heavy Metal Spike]

Amazing work - "cocked it up"? - I bloody-well don't think so! That face is perfect, as is the rest.

I love what you talented folks are doing with this - Snake deserves the best and you guys are supplying it.

Thanks so much for posting this

Well I sold off some old stuff and had some extra cash so I picked him up today and I hope to get him within a week.

Touch up the face, weather the jacket... What else would those of you who fixed Snake up say are MUST improvements to make this guy better?

Great repaint! The base looks killer too.

I gave the pants a tea bath, I didn't like how clean they looked.

I just need to dry brush lighter highlight in the hair and add some dirt to the boots and I will be very happy with my Snake.

 

[chrismadjock]

Thanks man. Not etched. Did it myself Mark. Printed the logo onto a metallic paper and stuck on top of T800 plate with double sided tape.

 

[chrismadjock]

Thanks for comment. 80% happy with face paint. At close scrutiny you can see flaws, hey ho. I'm hoping a spot on custom sculpt will come on the market.

I'd say definite hair repaint, custom weather jacket (thats easy, sandpaper, don't even need to dry brush). After I sandpapered I sprayed with Citadel Ardcote to get a bit of the leather sheen back. And (if ur confident) redefine some of the face details. I went for a full repaint but ultimately u don't have too.

Yeah I was going to determine the whole head repaint once he was in hand.

I like the idea of the tea bath for the pants so I'll probably do that as well.

That looks outstanding chrismadjock.
