Re: Plattman's Customs!
Was going to wait and take daylight pics but what the heck! Not the greatest pics in the world.
Those harness straps around his legs were made from scratch! The buckle parts are real metal. They look great in person. The shotgun shells holders were modified to fit. The knife is from the Hot Toys Redfield STARS fig, painted black. The frag grenades are placed on some metal rings which were than glued onto the vest. I also did a little olive drab painting on some areas of the vest to give it a little detail! I'm making the pouches from scratch and then the vest is done. I think in order for me to be fully happy with the vest, it would be a little longer, maybe so it just covers his belt, or something. It looks a little too short before you mess about with it and get it just right. The black belt helps. When I do those pouches I may make them so they come down past the vest a bit which may make it look a bit longer from the front.
The rocket launcher was modified, had to add the strap as well as cut away pieces. That was scary!
That's a shotgun on his back! His desert eagle looks good in those pics but it's not that great in hand, cheaply made, going to look for another one. Need to find a holster big enough for it as well!
So he's about 80-85% completed i'd say, need to add a few things like a watch, a different holster & boots. His main waepon, the M83, I don't think was ever made at this scale, so I have plans to modify a few different weapons to make it. Will be hard but i'll give it a go! Oh and he needs a Uzi. The head and body needs painting too.T hat's happening last though!
