A 1:6th Nathan Drake (Uncharted 2) custom figure

Thats a valid statement and as I DO have two Drakes... I have no REAL excuse not to have one dirtied up. The clothes are interchangeable anyway so it's definitely doable.
(considers buying a third figure...)

I really ought to go ahead and pick up a third body and probably try to snag a Bruce Campbell figure for his shirt (to use with Sully)
I'm probably going to down-scale the bag this weekend and swing this one onto my Full Metal Jacket figure (he's missing a butt-pack anyway)
I finally got myself the proper sized journal so I can start working out possible dimensions on a full sized bag too.
In the mean-time, I've added some more weapons to the wall.
I think I'm gonna need a bigger wall.

Having just completed a platinum run on Uncharted 2 for my cousin, I decided to attack Drake's winter/nepal jacket.
I found a render of it on the artist's webpage.

From that, I scaled the image to what would be roughly 1:6th scale in the real world.

I began translating it to a pattern. Sleeves are fairly easy so I started with those.



Now the left Sleeve...

After a test fit, I have decided that I'll probably make a sleeveless shirt for my Winter Drake outfit. They bunched up around the biceps.
Great if I'm going for a normal Drake look but not so great for the winter gear look.



At this stage, I have all (most) of the major parts cut out and I have at least started sewing them.

A quick look at the front, right portion...

Alright, the jacket itself is NOW mostly done. Technically it still needs one part added but I think I MAY leave it off... not sure.
But first..
I sewed it all together. Hadn't added a collar or any "wool" material at this stage.





This shows the craft felt material that I chose for the interior

ANND a few hours later, the jacket was all together.

(god I really need to do another Drake figure and ditch this Sideshow Pro body here..)

This is REALLY turning out VERY nice. Damn, I want them to make Drake figures.

Thank you, I'd love to see some official figs too.

I basically have it done now. Just need to add the round metal bit to the holster and possibly some color. While I was at it, I made him a sleeveless undershirt, this time in more correct colors.

MAn I love 1:6 scale figures and this is one hell of a good job you've done so far! A lot of hard work , attention to detail and great talent have been invested.

Simply love it!
