Metal Gear Solid Customs Thread: SUBSISTENCE

[Jameson Rook]

@bedil_bengkung, looks perfect so far. Well done. If you wanna be creative by trying to weather him a bit, that would be cool as well. I literally just tried weathering my figures for the first time yesterday, and it turned out great!

It was a Lara Croft figure though, I'll never weather Snake because for some reason, he always wore magical dirt repellent duds in all the games, even in MGSV. He doesn't even sweat too. Even Lara Croft would get all dirtied up in way back in Tomb Raider Legend, which was released in 2006.

here's my custom tiger stripe Snake and Peace Walker Snake.

sorry, for the life of me, I can't figure out how to post photos on here ever since the format changed so it's just links.

I know Peace Walker Snake didn't have the knife on his leg but I like the look so I added it.

Insert image on the top right. Make sure its:

Looks very nice btw. And what do you have there behind?

Thanks, Ryan! BTW, I tried to post photos like that multiple times, but I don't know if it's my computer or what, but it doesn't work for me.
I took the photo in my geek mancave. I have 4 display cases with 1/6 figures. The one in the background is my Marvel case with the Avengers, Punisher, Blade, Ghost Rider etc, unless you're talking about that one photo with my cat lol.

No problemo. Those shelves look amazing, I always wanted something like that rather than a detolf. Are those lighted?

 

[playboy409]

yeah they are, it's these from Living Spaces

They're expensive, but I think they're so worth it because you can fit so many more figures in there, and they don't look crammed in like the detolfs. Detolfs also gather dust. I figured if I'm already spending so much money on my collection, might as well spend a bit to make they look nicer in a display case.

Oh wow! I guess the price justifies how amazing they look. How many figures would fit in? Do you have pics of yours? It's probably some of the classiest display options I've seen.

 

[playboy409]

I think if you really want to cram them, you can fit about 10-11 figures per shelf easy. I have over 70 figures in my 4 cases. Here's one of my Avengers shelf. My reflection shows up a little in the photo and I'm in my boxers so don't look too hard lol

dude that avengers pic is awesome!!! nice job! btw, you pw bb needs a second duty belt, he looks great! the chest knife is upside down and please take the damn leg knife off!!!

 

[playboy409]

Thanks! Yeah, I know the PW Snake is not accurate. I just used the Inflames gear to put him together and that's how the knife came. I like the knife look on the leg that's why I added it in.

 

[Croozer]

Finally got my grail figure put together.
Tried to get it as close to Elvis' as possible but we all know the man is untouchable.

 

[SavageSloth]

That looks much better then the original HT version. Well done.

 

[RIDDICK]

Great looking bash!

That's awesome. Looks much better than the Sneaking Suit.
