Blazer looks a little long but otherwise he's shaping up nicely

What's the parts break down? I am going to finish mine when I return home for Christmas leave. I bought a HT Joe Colton body to use but I don't have a suit yet and really need to find someone to paint the sculpt for me.

 

[WellCQCaboutthat]

ttm-19 knockoff from eBay, suit from eBay, black shoes from eBay, gun from eBay, i made the tie clip myself (they're non existent). here are the listings i used:

1 6 Scale Black Shoes Fit Hot Toys Action Figure Body Wolverine Tony Stark | eBay

1 6 Male ZY Toys Men's Black Color Suit Full Set Fit for 12" Action Figure CA | eBay

Soldier Story 1 6 Scale FBI Cirg M1911 Pistol Accessories SS 062 | eBay

Muscular Muscle 1 6 Scale Action Figure Nude Body Male Toy Version 2 0 Fit TTM19 | eBay

If you bought the hot toys joe colton body then I'd suggest getting the Alfred suit and buy a black tie

I had the wolverine suit with a white shirt on a TTM19 and didn't like it.

I bought Alfred's body and suit to use instead as the narrow shouldered body will house a suit better I feel

Nothing wrong with Jasons list though

id like to get as close to perfect as possible but im not going to go too far out of my way. i think what i have going on works nicely for me. if i have to buy a new ttm-19 knockoff body i will to get the longer legs i trimmed down. i think thats why you think the blazer is too long, its actually the shorter legs. i dont think i will though. i am going to start on my octocamo suit customs. i HAVE to change out those horrid medicom bodies at least so they can hold a decent pose. for sure. cant wait to get a hold of my olive drab version. im hoping amnur can sculpt me an octocamo facemask head, well see what happens.

I never thought to check out the Alfred suit. I will do so. Has anyone used the Enterbay MIB ones before?

I have a spare black chest rig and combat load from the standard Medicom Snake if you need one CQC.

thanks dylan, i dont need that i dont think as they come with them. thanks though.

Ive finally come to the conclusion that shortening the legs on this body didnt look right. I put the legs back to the length they were and now he looks right, the jacket looks right too now. Im not modding bodies anymore, hahahaha. Heres the last pic im posting before i get the correct head back from peteskywalker. I think he looks perfect now.

 

[Solidus]

Nice job, Jason.

Great work! Just keep getting better every time you post pictures of it, can't wait to see it completed!

so got sick of dusting all the figures on my desk, so went to a plastic company here where I live and had some clear perspex made up to keep the dust out




Also found a game I have been trying to get for a long, long time now and at a good price

The Korean verson of Metal Gear for the NES, so happy to finally have it

And my little Metal Gear family shot

Think im only missing Metal Gear for the IBM then I think I have them all

 

[WellCQCaboutthat]

thanks a lot! i cant wait to get all my heads back, then i can reveal my old big boss as well!

you cut that plexiglass perfectly, it looks awesome! also, i cant believe you find what you find in such pristine conditions, its quite amazing. you should find me an olive drab and an nvg kubrick, that would be something a friend would do............

 

[Solidus]

Big Boss and Old Snake are going to look great together, truly awesome, man .

By the way, rampy, I think you now have the largest collection of MG games on the net . I really do have to track down the MSX2 versions of MG and MG 2 one of these days.

 

[Jameson Rook]

@Jason, can't wait to see him fully displayed. Looks superb!

@Rampy, good to see you're doing something about them dust getting onto your stuff. That's the best collection I've seen that doesn't go into DieSnake elitist territory.

 

[WellCQCaboutthat]

Thanks! Im so very anxious to see the head sculpts painted and installed its tearing me up inside.

His collection is close, you just cant see everything @ once!

Thanks Mate,yea very happy with the result! and I will find a Olive Drab Kubrick for you, Right after I find one for myself as it's the only one im missing
When you finnish both customs I would love you to re-create the MGS 4 chapter with the face to face in the grave yard, that would look so great!

Thanks mate, i would like to think so, but im missing a few and theres always a bigger fish out there somewhere

Thanks Mare, yea the dust always bothered me and now i think it looks better! And yea still love the diesnake collection, i even own some of his stuff now

 

[WellCQCaboutthat]

Will do! I want to do that between 2 cubes of my detolf.

Oh noes!!!

Upon ripping apart the seams of old snakes suit i found the right wrist and leg were completely broken. Im going to order a new ttm19 knockoff body for him and transplant it. It was a ***** to slide his upper suit off the old body, hopefully i dont have too hard of a time putting the new one back in! I cant wait to get some better articulation on this guy. Once im finished i might send it out for a repaint. It could look just fine though when im done. Id like a darker version of the suit like the one on the installation of the game where hes smoking a cig.

Yeah the Medicom body is pretty brittle and pathetic. What did you used to cut off the suit into sections like that, Jason?
