<3333
wow the suit is lookin awesome ^^
Thanks guys. Im really happy with the progress so far. Nearly there I guess :D
you know u should get a cardborad box to go with it
yay! Awesome sauce ^^
Looking awesome hun!
I'm feeling sorry for your nads though haha! :p x
@ Bambi - Im feeling sorry for them too believe me XD Snake must be one small guy if ya know what I mean to be able to pull off all the moves he does in the game. I can bearly walk ok XD
@ emikochan909 - I totally forgot about the whole box thing XD Ill see if I can find one big enough.
@ Sunsetdancer - hahaha yeah fully, maybe its just the magic of the game world, any other poor lad would cut himself in half haha! x
you should use the same thing i use to cover the nasty "smoking kills" text when i do snake.....stick a paper on it saying "smoking can reveal hidden laser traps" XD
@ Codename- thats epic XD
Looking great so far! i Looooove your gun ^__^
Great, a Snake cosplay - looking forward to seeing this =D
Good work on the vest, and it's going to look extra good with the socom pistol ^^
looks great so far, love the quality of the costume, looks like you could use it as it's intended. :D
Can't wait to see this finished.
Thanks guys Ive taken abit of a break from this atm toplay Mass Effect 2 but since thats now completed Ill be getting back on with Snake :D
loving it , the gloves really match your suit :D
This is looking really great! Snake is such a hero...love you got the right brand of Cigs (But did you know in the old games he used to smoke Lucky Strikes...maybe he switched when Faye Valentine started smoking them too)
Yes I knew about the Lucky Strikes but couldnt get any, so went for Malboro instead XD
It seems that it is never shown what brand he actually smokes through any of the Solid series of games. Apparently Hideo is an avid anti smoker and wasnt willing to show them. But clearly they are either Malboro or Lucky Strikes but I couldnt get Lucky Strikes so had to get Malboro.
"Snake, make me feel ALIVE" XD, this is going to look so damn great at Kita man, well done indeed ^^
epic dude! *clings onto* my snake! XD
Niiice~<3
This can only be described as arogantly good XD your like the best mgs1 sold snake ive ever seen!!!
@ ryukredapples - thanks thats what I was going for *points out arogant comment* XD
The finished thing looks awesome ^_____^
Met you guys at kitacon and it was amazing :D you were all brilliant and it's great seeing photos other than the couple I took lol

@soph24 - thanks, i really tried hard to get it looking right and i think i did fairly well.
