Description "Kept you waiting huh?"

Wasnt quite sure what kinda category this would fall under, sooo...oh well. Just bought this guy recently from the local Minotaur here in Melb...the newer Medicom Old Snake 'Ready', and I must say this one is heaps better than the first one they made. Better sculptor, with more accurate depiction of the face and sharper detailing on the body.

Bad habits die hard, so I felt compelled to repaint most of the figure on this case, especially since the suit was very much too blue, and far from the actual grey sneaking suit.
Face was repainted and reshaded as well to define the dark and light areas a little more.

Used a mixture of Vallejo acrylics, Citadel Metal acrylics, and your standard artist's oil paints to redo this one. Helpful hint: Washing with oils gives a much smoother and softer shading effect then with acrylics or inks in my opinion.

Cheers.

Great job on improving the looks of it, too bad the game ain't as half as awesome as that statue would like us to believe.

I couldn't agree more it seems as if they had no intention to make it completely like the true Snake, I'm waiting to get some cash but I'm going to redo my metal gear statute and I'll post it for you to see.
