Is the arm long enough? It looks a little short.

Dylan what do you mean upload my photos to my profile?

it fits a ttm19 type arm, not too badly

Did some updates. Thanks to dylan for the suggestion on the vest. In the game when hes in his jungle fatigues his vest is green so i left it, plus its jungle as well so i thought it looked great. I also got the holster painted and on. Im not happy with it, its too small and cant fit a gun into it so i have an idea to use a painted rah gun holster glued to it after i trim it down. Maybe ill do it tomorrow. I also neet the 2 grenade pouches at the bottom of the vest since this one doesnt have any so i will buy some of those soon as well, then finally i think i can say venom snake is finished. I tried shining one of the lamps from my chameleon cages toward my desk to get more light over there but imo the picture still doesnt make the figure look as nice as it does in person.

Looks good man. I have the same issues with pictures so I can almost visualize what it's like in person. Glad you like the vest but you should hem the straps on the back. I folded the end over and glued it after I cut them to prevent then from fraying.

I think I am going to ask a tailor about the holster. If he's game do you want in on it? Also did you find the album thing I was talking about?

 

[WellCQCaboutthat]

im in on that holster! also if you dont want the cord to fray hit it for a split second with a lighter, itll melt it clean like it was glued.

tbh, i didnt even look for the album, im sure its not hard. i have my flickr page for that, you can always just click that.

If your happy with it then this doesn't really matter but I'd possibly swap it out for a Barney Ross or Bane body personally.

I'm just waiting on mine back with the Amnur head.

Got my pictures retweeted by Kojima and Konami themselves, feel pretty proud of that

What's that gloved hand? Are all the fingers cut off it or just the first two?

If they all are would be good for another custom

 

[WellCQCaboutthat]

yeah, i agree, but i dont want to invest any more money into venom. also, i dont know if i can get the arm i made to fit it, it has to have the hinge built into the forearm and a peg snaps into the upper arm. if you could confirm this then i would be interested down the road.

Barney Ross hand, all the fingers are cut off. I didnt paint the bottom two yet but I will. Its a nice hand, would use again

i just looked at those bodies, they dont look too much bigger than the ttm-19, maybe in the abdomen. also, the arm looks like it will fit perfectly. when i get a free $90 maybe ill revisit venom but for now i like what ive got. youre right though, i wont lie.

Ah right yes I've seen them already, the underpart of the glove on the palm is cut out too so no good but thanks anyway

If you mean is it a single jointed elbow then yeah, it's not the the double jointed like on the solid snake body.

The only thing with it is that it's taller than the 19, but if I recall the gallo negro stuff was made for the barney Ross body.

 

[WellCQCaboutthat]

really? well, i have an extra bdu set then. it looked like ass on this body.

 

[Frank Jaeger]

Yeah I'm almost certain it was, the hand on the gallo negro is still oversized but the clothing and the like shouldn't be

 

[Dylan]

Had to do this because I consider it the only compelling part of the game. Surprised no one else has yet.
