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!
@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.
@OldKen- I actually put some makeup on him to make him look older, but I didn't have enough time to do the full treatment. Plus, he has such young/nice skin! I'm jealous!
@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!
