Statue Nathan Drake Uncharted 4 Diorama

[a2themonster]

Guys what are some other great dioramas?

Reviving the thread since the statue's finally been released and some videos/pics have started floating around.
Should be receiving mine very soon, and I'm looking forward to it. But from what I've seen, some statues can have really bad QC or arrive broken unfortunately for some people.

REALLY bad QC on this one: https://twitter.com/bhangal_rav/status/933816464670380033





Broken pieces:


These look better though:

Broken straps are fixable with super-glue, and they can be damaged through transit, but shoddy QC really should NOT be excusable especially for a $350 1/6 scale statue that has been delayed. Will upload photos of mine when I receive it, but I hope at LEAST that the QC is as good as the Uncharted 4 Collector's Edition Nate figure. (Would hate to return and to have to ship the huge thing back too).

Just got mine... Broken belt and broken glass, indeed the belt can be fixed. But the glass, broked into a million pieces, I asked for a replacement part, but it seems that


I tried to assemble it : I cannot even put the feet into the base and the hand with the shootgun barely fit into the hole


But men, what an awful paint job!!!!

It is a shame cause the pose is really good, it looked really beautiful on prototype pictures...

The Nathan Drake curse strikes again.

Received mine, guess I'm lucky that no pieces came in broken.

Pros:
+ Great, and big display piece
+ Very dynamic pose; even if it's "superhero"-esque with Nate's punching pose, the big stone base gives a much more Uncharted feel to it
+ Base is nicely sculpted and painted
+ Nate sculpt: very nice wrinkle details on the pants and shirt. I really like the hair and face sculpt too. Definitely looks more "aged" than the very smooth-skinned Uncharted 4 Collector's edition figure with the sculpted tiny stubble bumps and some wrinkles on the head. Also some nice vein definition on the arms.
+ Nate paint: multiple dark tones on the clothes and on the skin too, helps give off a dirty/gritty look to Nate. Gun holdster has a very nice and sleek brown-red tone and gives off some realism to it. Skin tone is good too, was worried that they would give him a tan look.
+ Soldier sculpt: great details in the sculpt of the soldier's uniform

Cons:
- Some paint QC errors on Nate: stubble should be a bit darker above the upper lip, the QC on the eyes aren't great (black pupil bled a bit), the silver of the ring on his left ring finger bled too. Thinking of adding a dot of white on Nate's eyes since it's just a boring one-toned blue color.
- Paint QC on the soldier: much more simple, more one-toned especially for the skin. But it is a good contrast with Nate who's been running around in nature all day. Also, the paint on the soldier's right hand that's holding the gun is REALLY bad. There's excess strings of paint, but it isn't noticeable once you connect it to the soldier. QC on the fingers is bad too, paint on fingers bleeds over the black glove.
- Assembly: kind of a pain, especially when needing to connect the peg in Nate's left hand to the soldier's right shoulder. And as SuperDuckWC mentioned, the soldier's foot can't go i all the way in the base and leaves this weird gap between the stairs and the soldier's right foot. Not too noticeable though.

Final comments: Overall pretty satisfied. Paid $400 USD total ($350 for the statue + $50 for shipping) from the Playstation Gear store.
However, I don't think it's worth $350, more like $250, especially with the shoddy QC, and how some people received theirs with broken pieces. For $350 I would expect near-perfect QC and the paint on the soldier is just average. Still one of my most prized collection centerpieces and very happy to have, though. Also probably one of the best Uncharted collectables, after Sideshow's Uncharted 3 Nate statue (don't have it, but looks to be quite amazing).

Thanks for your feedback!

I agree on the fact that Nathan is better painted than the guardian, and indeed the base is really well done. How does the hand with the shotgun fit in yours?

Thanks!

The hand fits in okay, not all the way in the hole but more so than yours. There's still a tiny bit of a gap though.

Oh yeah, also the way they painted the soldier's goggles was VERY amateurly done. You can see the paint brush strokes on them And on closer inspection there's also very small dust-like particles on Nate's shirt. Pretty sure it's some dust or paint particles that stuck to it when the shirt was drying after they painted it. Can't remove them, but it still looks okay though, and the statue still looks great as a display piece. I'm not happy that many others received theirs broken though.

I hope you hear back from them to replace the broken parts! On which site did you order the statue?

I just wanted to share my custom 1/6 UC4 Nathan Drake, since I know there are fellow collectors in here that may appreciate it.


"Oh man, I'm so tired of climbing stuff."


This was a project a couple of years in the making, but I couldn't be happier with how it turned out. Special thanks to Jacob Rahmier for the wizardry that is his paint/hair/modding and Brandon Moore for the amazing leatherwork/accessories.

This guy is getting his own shelf, right next to Indy.

Holy crap.. He looks incredible, I'm extremely jealous

Fillion.. I mean Drake looks fantastic there. Where is the sculpt from?

I would kill for a 1/6 Uncharted 4 Drake. With all the 3rd party makers doing fantastic work, I hope we see something soon.

 

[Kr1pl3d]

I dig it. Love the uncharted franchise

Thanks everyone! The base sculpt is from the collector's edition statue, but it was modified (texture added, eye resculpted).

Wow! Nice!

WOW! MarfMaster you probably have the most accurate-looking Uncharted 4 Nate figure out there. Super impressive, especially with the rooted and styled hair!!

Wow! Nice!

thats amazing marfmaster.


btw guys I too had all the same broken pieces on my statues. Had they have done mixed media with the gun holsters on drake (leather) and same with bullet belts on baddie I think more could have survived. paint apps were bad tho, had part of ear paint in his hair. The base was very nice. But thats about it.

me too! lol PM me if possible

 

[Dr_Jengo]

Received my replacement piece after the first one arrived broken. It looks a lot better than someone earlier posted.

The paint app is still not that great but overall it still looks very nice.
Agree with the part than Drake looks a bit older than from the games but still has a strong resemblance.

For the size & price, I feel it is still a very good buy. Excited for the God of War one coming in a few months..

Plenty more pics: https://bit.ly/2DyPTdr

 

[SuperDuckWC]

Yes me too! My soldier arrived in one piece!

From far away this piece is fabulous in my collection, if you come closer, you'll see the awful paintjob haha
