Piecing together a Matrix Neo

[usswanker]

Nice! Still undecided on which sculpt I'm going to use...

The Barney Ross pants might be the same style, but are you sure they're the same size?

Not sure. They are already kinda big on Sarah so I figured Barney would be able to fit in them anyway but I figured what the hell. The quality of Hot Toys pants would be better than any other cargo pants on eBay right now. If all else fails I'll switch the pants out with my Sarah's.

That's a good idea...I was planning on stealing my HT SC pants for Neo and leaving her pantsless until I could find replacements, let me know how they fit her

nice. I just like that style of pants for Neo and if their bigger or not its no big deal. I'll let you know how it turns out.

Forgot to mention, i'm using the sarah connor pants but on a TTL body, of which the legs are thinner. Maybe they won't fit on a truetype I haven't checked, though it looks like elvis used them on a TT and they look ok!

Barney's pants are big but quite thin so they could work after messing about with them!

I'm happy with my loading toys pants. Tight enough and look perfect to me. Pocket removed from one side too.

I took a lot of reference images from my Blu-ray today, concentrating mostly on the weapon harness/belts:

Don't forget the pair of Beretta's he sticks in his waist band. You need room for them.

Those look perfect!

Yeah, I figured they wouldnt be any different than these with some futzing. I only paid $9.00 for them so if they dont turn out I'll pick up an pair of the loading toys pants.

BTW thanks for the heads up on the buckles and straps. I picked up what you recommended.

Yup, it looks like Seb is using a TT Advanced and they look great

I'm going for the rooftop battle look, right when he unloads on the agent, so just the two Berettas in hand for me. But a very valid point for anyone else going for the Lobby intro look

The good thing about this guy is if you cant get you hands on a harness or coat right away you can substitute with the subway fight with Smith look. Harnessless and coatless with just the shirt and pants.

No problem. Glad I could help.

my custom Neo so far. Not movie accurate though.
Missed the knight runner suit. Also looking for proper boots.

Anyone know where to pick up a pair of accurate Beretta's? I think those are the only guns I'm going to concern myself with atm.

The most accurate Berettas would probably be from the HT T-1000 or Sillken Floss, but they can get pricey on ebay.
I haven't received mine yet, but I ordered 4 of these: https://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=370486994839&ssPageName=ADME:X:AAQ:US:1123

Judging by the shape of the chest in Seb's pics, it looks like he's using an older TT, perhaps the narrow shoulder version.

Looks great already. The boots also look pretty good, those should definitely tie you over until we hopefully get some perfect ones from Uncle Sam.

Yep i used a narrow shoulder, looks great with the coat.

Got it, I will try to switch mine to narrow shoulder later. I'm using new BBI body now, his chest a bit too "big".

Also is this weapons list correct for Neo?

2X Beretta
2X MP5K
2X Scorpion VZ-61
2X Micro Uzi Pistol (very hard to find this)

Yep, although he had 2 more Berettas. They are smaller than the regular ones though. Here's my post from the second page listing them:

I'm still considering getting two of the Skorpions, they don't have a big priority for me though. I haven't found the Uzis anywhere either, but considering I would never pose Neo with them in hand, and they aren't visible on his belt or harness, I won't bother with them.

 

[bplus73]

I have only one metal Beretta. The rest three temporarily are M1911A1 (I got a few extra), that repainted to all black. Will try to find another Beretta. Yah, will buy Scorpion and Uzi if not too pricey.

Awesome, thanks!

Ahh ok, I have an Advanced coming for mine, but I have a spare narrow if it looks off.
