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

I forgot to add these pics after I fixed it.

And NOW that it has been dyed and had buttons added...

eh.. I might have gone a little too dark on the green :/

Thanks
I think it's probably something I ate but I'm not feeling particularly well today, so I stayed home and ran to the bathroon to vomit/slept/watched movies on netflix. Eventually, I got bored and started working on the bandolier from Uncharted 3.

at this stage, I've only made one of the closure flaps but I WILL add them all.

edit: Bandolier is done!

As far as Uncharted 3, I had a go at Drake's hip pouch last night.

I'd say I blew the size.. I was going for one that would hold the UC3 journal but at that size, it ends up being TOO large.

Richard, as usual your work is amazing. I do have one complaint though. There needs to be more dirt on Indy....I mean Drake. MORE DIRT! :behavelol:lol

 

[d_jedi1]

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...) :love

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) :lol
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...

 

[d_jedi1]

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.

right cuff

and the shot from behind

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

 

[Pitfall Harry]

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

 

[d_jedi1]

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! :thumbsup

Good work on the jacket, d_jedi1!

I know maybe it's too late, but anyway. Here is my custom Nate in 1/6 scale from U4. Still need to repaint his head sculpt and add grappling hook, but i'm happy with this now)

 

[d_jedi1]

Looks great. I haven't started on my uncharted 4 Drake just yet. I had a grappling hook but I can't find it now.
