Re: ELVIS1976 custom work and kitbash

BEFORE

I bought this original Seb masterpiece a long time ago and have loved it, but always felt he should be bulkier to capture that look that Clark Bartram had playing Batman in Dead End. Instead of using a new body as there are so many to choose from now since this was made, I bravely and carefully took him apart and added bulk/ muscle to his thighs, arms, and chest on the existing figure. I think he looks killer now and closer to the look in the short film. Thanks again Seb for such an awesome figure and I hope you agree with the mods I made!

Great Work Seb...As always...Never had a love for Solid Snake...Played the game way back when it first came out Loved it.

As for the dead end batman...IMO I think the first one is right on, especially the upper body because Clark was Not Huge Guy, he was Very Ripped...My Brother is a friend of his... But the Legs you got right for sure, as he had big legs.

I think if you took a little of the bicep down some it be spot on e.

Can't wait to see The Pain, The Sorrow, and Young Ocelot! As for The Joy/The Boss, Seb will see if HT will release her or not soon before making her.

I knew I was heading in the right direction with the thighs as that made a huge improvement. I liked Seb's latest Batman pieces with the bulk and wanted that with my Dead End Batman as I thought he looked like a beast in the film. I knew the chest looked better with bulk and thought why not with the arms as well! I just think he looks stronger and more menacing/ intimidating now!

I don't think you understand the depth of my jealousy of your MGS figures. I will stop at nothing to get them from you! You haven't seen the last of me, Mr. Bontemps.

Paint and ocelot are the next one for sure, but I WILL NEED THE BOSS.

I think I want to tackle sigint and Eva.

That is def an improvment.
This was my first, since this one i have come a long way and would probably be doing it differently now.

I think he looks better now.

Moe, no offense, bro! I like constructive criticism and agree that Clark Bartram's arms aren't that big, but I like his muscularity and wanted to show that in this figure, even if a bit exaggerated. Most of the time I'll be displaying the figure with the cape covering most of the arms anyways, so easy fix! I am however offended by the sexy Bartram pic as I will never look that good! And I'm just happy that Seb has approved my mods which means a lot to me! No matter what, I love this figure!!!

Re: ELVIS1976 custom work (Marvel, DC, Horror, Movies) - SOLID SNAKE past and present

Those are all ____ing incredible, but MGS1 is my favorite. Probably because it was my favorite game of them all, though.

I thought my favorite works from you were in the Marvel/DC front, but these recent MGS projects have, for me, blown away all previous works. If everything else was a 10, which many were/are, MGS is turned up to 11. The character designs have always impressed the hell out of me, and to see you realizing them in this format so flawlessly is really something. Incredibly impressed, Seb. Really and truly triumphant work!

THANKS Chase

I'm a great great fan of SHinkawa charachter desing on all the MGS stories and tryin to replicate that isn't an easy task.

I worked like crazy on those, studying the art books and sketches during hours and then see the possibilities out there to build all the suits and accessories but so far it has really been a real labour of love!
