Hehe, Got my body and head in the mail today. Decided to throw in a quick and ugly pic. Still got a hellalot of work to do on this guy. Here's a goofy "work in progress shot" with temporary ugly as hell BDU clothing till I get my proper tiger stripes and work on him more. It's vintage GI Joe crap, so it looks bad, but as I said, temporary stuff.
So far, I've done the tactical belt (Pretty good for a makeshift one) and the undershirt (Modded a vintage and way too big GI Joe shirt so it fits and it has a turtleneck design). Also started working on the eye patch... Got the shape and fabric okay, but working on a proper rope to keep it attached.
I'll hopefully get the Tiger Stripes Camo and the boots in the mail soon hopefully, cause poor snake can't stand wearing ugly GI Joe clothes that make him look like a deformed circus midget. I'll also hopefully get the Stabo Harness, which i'll need to customize a little so it's accurate with the one Snake is wearing. Need to turn the ugly grayish thing on his leg into a tighter and black knee cover thingy, gotta paint and add the survival knife, perhaps repaint his M16 and Colt 1911 ... Basically, there's alot of stuff left to do, but I think he'll be pretty cool in the long run. Need to find a a solution for his gloves though... I was thinking of simply painting his hand , but it's bound to look stupid...
Quick Edit : Getting there. Here's Snake Posing with another Legend, making him look like a midget in the process.
Still need to get my stabo harness and to do a little tweaks to the BDU top, mainly the collar and try to make it fit better (it's way bigger than Snake, which explains why it looks kinda odd on the picture when it comes to the neckline and such. Probably made for an Arnold type body with muscles five times the size of his head. I'll take proper pictures with dynamic poses and lighting once it's finished. So far i'm satisfied. Need to either paint his hands for a glove effect or figure out a way to give him gloves, i'll need to make him a CQC knife and that radio thingy on the stabo harness (Survival Knife is done and on his leg). Painted his Cold 1911, His M16, plus a Sniper Rifle for him to use... He's getting pretty cool.
