Action Figure Kai Studio The Explorer Sculpt and Outfit

Looks great. Is it the slimmer version ?

It is.

 

[paulcarson]

Thank you.

 

[Luisenigma1]

Thank you.

No problem, it's definitely a good body, but I switched it back to the custom ttm19. Lol

I am so glad that the Uncharted 3 by Sideshow is saved now!

lol you gotta keep both bodies now until you really decide on which you like best :

No the CCToys pants are longer and a little looser in the butt/waist then the Kai pants.

Big thanks to Jase25 for putting up the CCToys set on eBay. Got it in today and it's exactly what I wanted in terms of fit and style. Currently giving the pants a soak in some dark tea (I don't drink coffee) to give them a darker shade. I really like the CCToys shirt as well more than the my modified Kai Studios set. it's got the white buttons on the henley like the game model and I like the added dirt and neckline better. Looks more accurate to me (though I know it's not the popular opinion). Once I finish customizing this set and have it put altogether, I'll post pics.

Yeah i went back to the JX one now. Lol I will leave it as is now, it's hard finding a good suitable body that looks like his type. If only there was a good fit body that fit the kai clothing it would be great.

Got my Nate kit, wow, this is a great looking set, very impressed.

Set the kit up on a TTM19 (a dx05 indy body I had spare), and think it is pretty much a perfect body for him. Too defined maybe, but definitely the right heft to him. Used a couple of spare Wick hands. The watch and AK are from sideshow drake, I realise the watch isn't accurate. Would love all the accessories from the cctoys figure, but not shelling out on a full figure for them. If anyone is selling pieces, please message me!

Great job all round on this, would love a Sully to go with him. Let's hope eh?

anyone else removed the foams and inserted the magazines into the holster? feels abit too tight but looks more solid.

any cheap alternatives for the rest of the accessories, like the watch?

the hardest part would be buckling up the belt properly. i moved the hanger thing on the belt to the side not sure what it is for.

I did the same thing to mine. Add the clips in the holster just looked better.

The little leather dangle is to place a hook or loop for a grapple hook. I made a little metal hook and used the spare CCToys grapple to complete the look.

Some great work in here, just read the thread from beginning to end

I have this set on the way together with the JXToys S01 body, very excited! Also got an AK rifle coming for him, which I think will suit this figure down to the ground, with the wooden earthy colours of the AK and the OD green strap. Very uncharted like.

I’ve also just finished making a mini dio base for him using woodland scenics and a real rock.

I’d love the CCtoys accessories and John wick hands to really make this next level accurate! But it just adds up money wise. We?ll see...haha

Here’s a pic of my finished dio base:

 

[Platty]

It is.

S01 buddy yeah?

 

[Luisenigma1]

S01 buddy yeah?

Yup or if they released a newer version then that will do. Ttm19 is pretty solid body also if you can get it.

 

[Luisenigma1]

Seeing as this set is good anyone get the CC toys nate and if so are willing to sell me just the pants mines ripped at the crotch and need a replacement. Thanks

 

[Luisenigma1]

Finally can say Nathan Drake is complete. Was able to buy the John Wick hands. And I also am using the first Kai shirt I dyed into the correct color and weathered. Thankfully it no longer stains the body (as of yet at least) weathered everything else like the holster and pants. Just need a good stand.

I'm not the best photographer especially with the cloudy days we've had here in the south but with Luisenigma1 persuasion I finally took some pics of my UC4 Drake. I've had it done since last year, just never got around to taking pics.

Here's my build:

• Body: Artfigures muscle body from the Expendables Antonio Banderas figure with chest hair painted. The waist and butt were dremeled away A LOT to get the Kai pants to fit, but they really are the best looking pair for this figure.
• Head: Kai
• Pants & Boots: Kai-hot water treated to stretch as much as possible to fit the body
• Shirt: CCToys with sweat stains added by me
• hands: Hot Toys EP4 Han Solo with wedding ring from some Rick Grimes figure
• Watch: RavenEye customs with leather backing added by me
• Holster: RavenEye customs made of real leather with accurate studs and metal hinges added by me. Additionally, made magazine clip functional by adding magnets and stuffing 2 gun clips in the slots.
• Gun & clips: ThreeZero Negan
• Rope, Grapple & latch: RavenEye customs with real leather holder
• Journal holder & Pick: RavenEye Customs made of real leather. Pick is plastic and painted by me
• Belt: RavenEye customs mafe with real leather and real metal belt.
• Flashlight: DID WW2 real metal

Now that looks pretty good. Well done man glad to see the finished figure.

Tried to get some better pics today.

Saw this on Facebook really good custom and weathering by the owner.

Big thanks to Luisenigma1 who helped me out locating the last parts that I needed to finish my Nate! Thank you sir.

So, standard set up with the Kai outfit and the cctoys watch, pouch, torch and rope. The AK47 is from Uncharted 3 Sideshow Nate, but I have custom made a new strap for it. The figure is using a DX05 Indiana Jones body.

I have dyed the Kai top with a grey clothes dye. I did this as I wanted to darken the shirt a few shades and also mute the blue. I'm really pleased with how well it came out. I think the outfit is excellent, but the blue was far too "vibrant". I made the leather magnetic strap on Nates belt that holds the rope. The custom diorama stand I also made (modelled in clay and painted).




Nate now joins my custom "Rise of the Tomb Raider" Lara ("desert tanktop" outfit, consisitng of randomly sourced 1/6 clothing that I dyed to the correct colours, full repaint of the head to match a phicen body, painted the axes, made all of the leather goods myself from scratch, made the necklace, made the stand).....




Up next, when a new stand arrives for me to work off, are "Last of Us" Joel and Ellie.....then my "Playstation 4" fave character/games shelf will be complete!
