Metal Gear Solid 4 Old Snake Costume (Photo Heavy!)

I recently made the Octocamo suit for my husband's Old Snake costume. I only had 2 weeks to sew it, but I'm pretty happy with it overall (I'm a huge MGS fan). We just got photos back so I thought I'd share!

How did you do the padding? The shaping is fantastic!

Thank you everyone!

@nick daring- Thanks for posting reference photos. The padding is just a thin green foam I bought at Joann's Fabrics which I cut to match the shape of each of the pieces.
 
Holy crap that is a cool costume and well worn! Other than the fact he isn't an old man it is perfection!

THe pic where he is kneeling down is 110% perfect. Looks like a shot of the character in a live action movie!
 
What did you use for the white text elements?

Did you find accurate reference for what each one said or did you just make stuff up?

I love the elegant little design details in metal gear costumes and equipment .

You could also make "alternate face camos" to change up the costume's look or if you just don't feel like wearing a mustache all day at a con.

@nick daring- I used custom stamps for the white text. I used the character viewer as reference, and there were 2 different texts. One was completely legible, and one was partially legible. So, one stamp is accurate, the other one I made up. I later got the Raiden Medicom figurine which had the complete and legible text, but it was too late by then!

I plan on making the hood for my husband, and maybe I'll don the costume with a wig and be Laughing Octopus face camo version! I'll have to bulk up! My husband plans on making the MK II, we have a pep file, I just need to get him motivated!

@Prince NEO- Thanks! That makes me really happy to hear!

@Kirax & Bharam- Thank you very much!

We actually went to Tokyo Game Show with this costume. Old Snake didn't win (My costume did LOL) but here's a photo of the contestants with the judges and Hideo Kojima!
