I'm still praying that Gecco might someday, but who knows?

Guys does anyone know where to get a solid snake sculpt ?

I'm still looking for a decent sculpt for the first game

Also for the ones who have the zii production snake how the body and suit is holding up?

Hey! Might be able to help you out sometime soon. Been trying to make the perfect MGS figures has lead me to start sculpting in my free time. Still tweaking and working on these but might be able to print these for you in the near future. I'm a total amateur when it comes to sculpting but I've been practicing and growing a bunch.

How are you gonna fix than man ??

Here is my final custom old snake

Pretty happy with the end result

Sorry for late reply I'm not always online here I resculpted it again(final pic bottom) which was difficult since everything was soft. it's not gonna be "exactly" the same but I'm fine with that it's not that noticeably. Also yeah man that new head is awesome
I also recently finished cleaning up and repainting the head and I just went with a white artic suit instead.

what paint did you use since they are flexible.

A few new additions to the collection I thought y'all might like to see;
Big Boss MGS4 custom made by Frank and sean, and a finely detailed sculpt of old snake MGS4, and finally got a MGR Raiden! I just got my hands on two other sculpts by Frank so those will be up in due time! I also have a spare old snake medicom body that I’m going to be rippin’ and tearin’ to add more range of motion. Thinking of having the undershirt being an athletic mesh? Tell me your thoughts!

Sorry for the late reply again I used a rubber paint can spray called zeque. Otherwise I have to paint this figure like a mask.

As I'm boxing up for moving, found this guy and took a shot.
The custom was made in back in 2018. I'm still waiting for LIM toys to make MGS and MGS2 Solid Snake

 

[Solidus]

That’s wonderfully done. I see you made use of the clothes from the old Konami figure.

Went for it here but happy with my kitbashed Boss…

Thanks

Just a random body suit off eBay!

Has anyone done any mods to the zii production solid snake at all?

I can’t stand the stiff body and I’m not a huge fan of the the inaccurate suit texture, but I knew that going in. Also the paint just peels off the rubber elbow and knee pads so easily. I really like the headsculpt and some of the gear. It’s a mixed bag of a figure. I’m just happy to have some kind of solid snake on the shelf at this point!

I have a grey jumpsuit and a Phicen M33 body, I may try it and see.

 

[DrWeaponX]

Sorry for any duplicity but I finished him. All in all, I got about as close as I could/wanted to/had patience for. There are a few anachronisms in Boss’ costume from the Cold War-era (it is MG we’re talking about here ) that I sought to remedy. Namely using paracord vs. a strap, adding the Vietnam-era wristwatch and moving the radio off him since that earpiece and chest com were fake. Still, happy with him and how he turned out. Glad I stumbled on this thread!

Looks awesome! This was the version I wish HT had made back in the day.

Hello all, I went with my planned mods. I’m pretty happy, it turned out rather well!

It was quite easy too. The parts were easy enough to swap over to the Phicen body.

Full list of mods:

Phicen M33 body swap

Different body suit. The Suit can be found here:
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/13445926...ar=433929046869&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

There are a multitude of sellers who sell this suit, use your own judgment and go with a seller you are comfortable with if you buy one.

That was pretty much it, the head and hands and feet all fit with no problems, just the usual boiling water to help. The only modification I had to do was to cut away some of the Phicen body flesh at the ankles as the silicone skin was a bit too much for the opening of the boots and it was causing them to pop off. I also had to shorten the thigh holster strap by cutting off some material as it was too baggy for his leg. Easy peasy.

You may also notice the paint is missing from the knee and elbow pads. I stripped them all off (it flaked off easily) and I’m still unsure on whether to repaint them or cut off the webbing part and make real webbing instead. That’s further down the line.

I still need to add the silver press studs on his shoulders too at some point.

I will probably also darken his hair by repainting it to medium/dark brown.

Took some quick pictures in the kitchen with the best lighting. It looks a lot better in hand than the iPhone pics make it appear. Is it perfect? No. But I have gotten rid of the inaccurate textured suit of the stock figure and also gained articulation and the ability to hold a pose! Really happy to have this solid snake on the shelf!

 

[Platty]

Okay a few more

“Take the knife and toss it”

The Phicen body can really hold a pose and gives him a great physique. The upper arms and shoulders look very much like Solid snake!
