Metal Gear Solid Customs Thread: SUBSISTENCE

[Jameson Rook]

The best fabric to use would be what they used on the Iron Man 2 Black Widow figure. It's finding out what that fabric is, then finding it in the right colour and weight that's the problem

If you can find that fabric or similar in the same weight and grey, let me know. Or even if you know what that fabric is. The subtle blue within the grey is going to be unachievable

I'll post this here now for those interested - In the next week or so I'll be putting up the Liquid Snake thread

I'm probably the LAST person you wanna discuss about fabric, but yeah getting the MGS2 Suit right is the hardest thing ever.

I'm totally down on anything 1/6 MGS, keep me in the loop Frank!

 

[Frank Jaeger]

Will do, should be up the end of this week, early next week so just be on the lookout

The fabric for the suit is whats stopping MGS2 from going ahead right now, lord knows how to get correct fabric. I might even look into getting something rubber or silicon molded if it's achievable and not mega priced. I saw something recently that interested me

If you start a new interest thread for anything MGS, let us know. I'm loving this MGS1 Snake coming together.

 

[Dylan]

If that comes together I'm in.

 

[Frank Jaeger]

It's happening, keep your eye out for the thread next week

[Snake Plissken]

Will you be in for Liquid?

No point when I can't own the MGS1 version of Snake.

Perhaps, but Sean will be sculpting the MGS2 head as well. At least maybe you can make a MGS2 Snake Tales post-MGS1 Snake from that. Better than nothing I would say, considering Sean's sculpts will be the best we'll ever get, official or not.

I'll probably only go in for the MGS2 Snake then.

The Tiger Stripe Camo Snake is done! Whohoo!

 

[Snake Plissken]

Wow that shaped up quick! Are those Medicom hands?

It was a 3 hour job the most. Yeah, I used the Medi hands as they do hold up in scale. The biggest problem was rolling the BDU sleeves, I had to cut them off and sew them to make them thinner. Other than that, it's a pretty easy bash and the Sneaking Suit vest will cut easily with scissors.

I'd say if you could score a 2nd HT Snake, then the BDU conversion is a must, he looks way better than the Space Suit.

 

[Frank Jaeger]

Looks great man!

Isn't tiger stripe green though?

 

[Jameson Rook]

Uh oh. Is it?

 

[Snake Plissken]

Yeah the camo is supposed to be like a green tan mixture, but I don't think there's anything out there to perfectly match it.

That explains why I can't find a matching Tiger Stripe BDU that looks exactly the same. Oh well, I'd take this sandy tan over bright green, despite being a touch lighter than I'd like.

Hey, maybe we should get a MGS3 Snake headsculpt commissioned once the MGS2 project is out of the way.

 

[Snake Plissken]

I'm probably going to pass on all the customs, since I missed out on MGS1 Snake.

Finished my bash about a month ago. Did the best I could with the parts I had.
