Featured Custom – Solid Snake

this one came out a little rougher than Big boss, though the build was much more involved. aside from the resculpted Airborne head with twistie Bandanna (i needed to find one that resembled cloth to a degree for the trademark waviness) the shoulder pads and pectorals were sculpted over the ROC Snake Eyes torso.







the choice of feet took a while as i didn't want him to look like a midget alongside Big Boss but i guess that's what happens with using the Sgt. Stone body for Big Boss, ends up taller than most joes.

if given the materials i'd like to do a second, lighter colored (more game-accurate) version, and an MGS2 version :mrgreen: , but this one will do for now. he looks snake-y enough anyway.

now for some action shots:




recipe:

Do you guys sell these customs some of them are unbelivable

Beautiful work, eisen. As always.

Wow, fracking fantastic! I like this one even more than your Big Boss... And I'm hands down all about Big Boss. Great job.

thanks guys!

Great work eisen - you're like a pro!

Wow I would have sworn these came right off the assembly line...great work!

Featured Custom - Solid Snake

Wow, eisen. I've had a parts list for a custom MGS1 Snake in my head for a while but I didn't have enough time or materials to make it a reality. But seeing the great job you've done with your custom, I think I'll have to start searching for figures to turn into the Legendary Soldier.

BTW what exactly is the bandana made of? I was thinking a twisty tie or even a real piece of cloth might work.

it's a twistie the kind that's wrapped in the flat plastic exterior

just for fun (and testing out my new basic airbrush) i whipped up a spare-parts MGS2 body for Solid Snake. it's not very accurate (lacks stubble on his face) though again, i made sure that he looked "Snake-y" enough.
