Body looks pretty good... only thing I'd change is the Elbow pads...you need to dremel them out a bit so they can sit a little more flush with the arms...right now it looks like he's got black eggs on his elbows in the one pic.

The head however needs a lot of work...I admire the effort to mod an outback head...but don't think it paid off for you here. the chin and cheeks are rough and uneven...and painting the eyes needs a bit more work.

My thoughts would be to mod a different head with the hair and headband...possibly Knockdown/SuperTrooper, or Charbroil, or Maverik for that more squared off chin look I think you're trying for...Sculpting hair with epoxy or sculpy will be tons easier than trying to dremel a huge beird down....

I can only think of 1 figure with a "shaved" outback head and it was done by grandslam...as good as his worksmanship was...that head just isn't proportioned to not have a beird.

I don't know, I kind of agree with Nova, unless you were trying for a very authentic poly style head, then its pretty sweet.

But solid, man, I'm not sure about the picture with snake's in that trooper's caboose, but otherwise, fun stuff, man, keep it up.

Thanks dude. I accualy thought the head came out pretty good, not perfect, but pretty good. I tried modding a Gung ho head, and i sculpted the hair/headband with sculpty(Can't afford any kind of epoxy), and the Head half way melted, leaving me with an ugly mess.. So I HAD to use the Outback, the only one i had to use anyways.

I accualy started to go with the square blocky awesome style that is MGS1, but i decided to give it just a little more detail.

Thanks though dude!

Personally I'd give him the 5 O'clock shadow to hide the rough spots on the face.

He didn't have any Facial hair in MGS1.. it'd probably make a nice touch.. but i tried to get as accurate as possible.

Oh, also I liked the Dio. Nice work on it!

Overall, it looks pretty solid. However, I do agree with some of the other comments that the head needs work. I would suggest looking at the figure heads on the YJ archive or JoeIndex. The right head can make or break a custom. A good start...a small bit of refinement and it will be top notch!

Thanks JB, I am accualy thinking of sanding the head down a bit, and repainting.
