Looks good man! Besides, the worst thing can happen is that you'll need to saw off some parts regardless. Rubber neck is a plus too. What plans do you have for Liquid, Meryl and Wolf?

 

[WellCQCaboutthat]

well, ill probably work on liquid when i finish solid. im gonna take my time and do one after another. havent thought that far along yet. i found a suitable liquid head i think.

the body is going to need work. im going to see how it fits and sculpt it up if i have to but it looks thinner in the waist like how you cut yours. i think the arm muscles are about where i want them. like you said im just worrying about the legs really. im going to sculpt the hands exactly how i want them for his gloves. once the suit fits properly and the knee pads are painted im going to look for better bags and probably have to splice some sets together to make them look accurate. the leg holster and gun will definitely be changed out. im going to cut up the vest shoulders so they are on very short straps i was going to sand it way down and resculpt it sharper. its bulky and really toyish right now. i just have to get the body/head to get inspiration and see how everything will fit first.

Thank you Jason! All I need now is a new pair of pants, finish some shading on the face, dry brushing etc.

You know I'm here if you need info on bodies, gear, whatever.

You really did a great job on that Ryan, really makes the PAK look pathetic.

Thanks brother Plissken, The headsculpt is by default is WAY better than PAK which makes repainting a joy.

I think we should all get the Yamato figs, and group together to commission someone to do the hairsculpt, as that's the only thing that needs resculpting. Boom.

 

[Snake Plissken]

Yeah the stock sculpt is fine, but repainting it makes it leaps and bounds beyond anything PAK does nowadays.

Heh. Thanks Jason. It ruined my sleep coz my phone Twitter app notifications kept going off plus 73 emails about that. Kojima retweeted that and I meant it as a joke.

I'm humbled by it though.

 

[Brandoloneous]

Too bad I can't do something similar with Shinji Mikami and my customs

Finally my RAH Naked Snake is back and ready to be on display after being parted and boxed away due to wear and tear of the original body and wetsuit.
It doesn't seems much of a change from what it was but some parts have been changed.

parts used (if not listed they are the originals)
HT : TTM21, harness & pouches, boots,
Triad Toys : wet suit (shirt) 3.0
Soldier Story : Tiger Stripe BDU
(no idea what pistol is that nor where was it from)

The problem was getting the RAH head on a HT body... so I asked a friend to cut the HT neck joint and then glued it with half of RAH neck piece. Took me a few tries before getting the right length. Now I wonder should I bleach the BDU... and where the heck I am gonna put it for display

 

[bedil_bengkung]

WOW........!!!!! Nice idea for the neck.

Hello everyone. I'm a long time lurker here but haven't really posted before. Now seemed like as good a time as any to share some of my Metal Gear customs, so I'll start with Sniper Wolf.
