Re: Metal Gear Solid 4 Props - Snakes Operator

Interesting...
I think we should talk about something then...:love
(Especially what kind of files you could handle and such...:cool)

Sorry for bumping this thread after such a long time buuuuuut. I made a fairly accurate CAD version of the grey fox helmet based partly on the in-game footage and partly from the character art... Then, from which I then made a pepakura file and am currently in the process of glassing/bondoing. However, I was very tempted to get foam molds CNC'd for vacuuforming, and I just read that someone here has a CNC machine?

Here are some screencaps of the cad file

So, it fits me pretty snugly (don't want to look like a bobblehead) since I measured it to fit me particularly, although I can modify the file to fit other people.

The file is also segmented already into the different pieces and (forehead, side plates and neck piece) and I can with no difficulty add features for mating the pieces together, which I ommited for now in order to build the pep file. Which turned out to be REALLY detailed... too detailed... as in it took me over 20 hours to assemble it, maybe more (I lose track of time easily)

Thoughts?

Speaking of which... Should I post the progress pics here or make a new thread?
I'm in the bondo-ing/sanding phase and would like to share, but I also don't want to hijack this thread

Re: Metal Gear Solid 4 Props - Snakes Operator

I made a CQC knife when snake eater came out. I wish I could find it!
also, in mgs 3, didnt he "cut down" the grip on one side of his colt so he could hold the knife with his gun? Or at least thats why I think he did it, its been so long since I played it.

You can always look up a video when EVA gives Big Boss the equipment.

Did you register for the RPF just to reply to Punisher's 4 year old post?

Yes his gun is shaved on the grip so he cold hold it and his knife in one hand. you can see the reference from the MGS4 Weapon Viewer photos i posted here.

According to the MGS4 version, the left and right side grip plates are both shaved.

I was packing because I am moving soon and I came across the FIRST prop I've ever made! I must have been 15 or so- it's from MGS2

An obscure prop to be sure but I felt quite nostalgic when I found it among my things!

 

[nick daring]

I love obscure MGS props.

I want to make the access cards from MGS1 at some point.

MGS Ground Zeroes is ramping up And I'm curious about Snake's new Night Vision goggles from the poster image.

And a close up-

Are these real or invented for the game?

I actually despise quoting with or reposting pics, but THAT is just too beautiful :love

That is cosplayer Omi Gibson; she did that outfit for a convention in 2009, and I found some info for a photo shoot in 2011:

[MaddChinaMan]

That is an awesome photoshoot! Except it made me cringe to see blood all over that beautiful head piece :O

The goggles were the thing I wondered about too after the trailer. To my eye, they look like a mix of two irl models, the AN/PVS-5 (mounting and the "box" that rests against the wearer's face) and AN/PVS-7 (The ocular, knobs around it and the battery tube on the bottom). Replicas of both are available, but are ridiculously expensive(IMO)

Here's a pic of the PVS-5:

(These were also the basis for the Ghostbusters Ecto-goggles)

And PVS-7:

Also Boss' rifle has been ID'd as a St. Kinetics SR-88

You nailed it!!

Does anyone know where I can find a solid eye system patch??

 

[Spectacular Spider-Man]

This is so cool. Gotta love MGS

I've always enjoyed this series. These latest images would have my Snake cosplaying friend frothing at the mouth!

Was checking out Big Boss's rifle and it's a tough one to match up.

The sr-88 is close but some stuff doesn't match up-

Put together a lineup of similar rifles with BB's rifle in the middle for comparison.

The FN FAL comes realy close in several aspects.

 

[Atlas]

FAL's receiver is too high and too round, it's also overall too big, IMO.
What Boss is carrying is an assault rifle, while FAL is a battle rifle.
Of course it could be some weird prototype model of FNC, but I doubt it.

What it seems to be is a mash-up of a couple different rifles, most recognizable being the AR-style grip, triggerguard, and controls above the handle. Magwell seems to be from an AR receiver too, but the bottom of it has been altered. The front doesn't seem to match up with anything, and I presume the entire front grip is an MP5SD-style integrated suppressor. Closest match for the stock is found in both FAL para and SR-88.

Overall, I think that SR-88 comes closest in size and profile.

[nick daring]

All the Magwells have an angled edge where the Big Boss rifle has a flat one. I can't find anything that matches that feature.

I think it might just a custom mishmash of elements which is weird for a metal gear game. THey are usually sticklers for using real firearms.
