eriku Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 I would think the head was the easiest part... getting an accurate Kimono would be a bitch! Finding an accurate kimono would be a bitch, but I was thinking in terms of making one. I think making the kimono (there are other 1/6 scale kimonos I could use as a base) would be easier than making her head, since I have zero sculpting or painting abilities. :| And that Akira set looks wicked cool.

Still no Vegeta, i'm dissapointed, i plan on getting the Son Goku Kid Version (not medicom), and never ended up getting the SS Goku or RAH Mark II silver for obvious reasons!

holytoledo69 Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 there's something a little "off" in arnie's the head sculpt. If I squint it looks fine lol. I think they should thin out the eyebrows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
promethuem5 Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 (edited) So, I'm sorta totally getting sucked into 1/6 figures... this is going to be a problem. Most of what I'm interested in is custom kitbash stuff to match figures like the 3A Ashely Wood stuff. I want to kitbash a grunt from his fiction, which is basically a mildly sci-fi'd up WWI trencher. I have an older Zero Metal power armor figure that has a lame inner body figure that wears the armor, so I just bought one of the new Hot Toys slim-type bodies and some accessories to make a new figure to wear the armor. Hopefully everything is compatible enough (my only real concern is fitting the boots I bought to the armored leg pieces). Edit: And I've been eyeing up the Soldier Story DAK trooper that came out last month... modern soldier figures don't do much for me, but I could see picking up a few cool historicals.

EXO Posted January 12, 2010 Author Share Posted January 12, 2010 LOL... Remember tha scene where the Terminator is walking out of Cyberdyne and he was shooting people in the legs... well that was 1:1 scale and didn't look like arnold when they switched to the puppet. This is 1:6 scale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

promethuem5 Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 I have had this figure since it came out back in 2004 or 2005, and it is really well designed, but the actual person figure wearing the armor was crap. I saw the new HT TT bodies and thought I could finally fix this figure up. At the same time, I applied the decals that came with the figure and did all the weathering to the figure to make it look like a proper in-use piece of military hardware. Lots more pics and a longer description on my site: DaJoint 1/6 Zero Metal Defence Capsule Prometheum5’s collected works: Let me know what you guys think!

doodler7 Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Hey promethuem5, excellent work on the weathering. Thanks for sharing. Great to see some ZMDC tht's been fixed up for inspiration. Did you use a different black body suit with the HT slim version body? How long did it take you to complete this project? Do you have a matte coating on it? I'm glad you posted. I have one too as a back burner project, along with my Solid Snake. I'm bummed that Takara, Medicom, Hot Toys nor Sideshow has come up with a young Solid Snake; who I think was best because that 1997 game blew everyone's imagination. I became a fan back then, and still waiting for that 12" figure. Here's a couple of my back burner projects: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
promethuem5 Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 Wow, both of those kitbashes look quite good so far! Destro fits surprisingly. well into the ZMDC armor. Your Snake looks quite good as well... that's a figure I'd love to have in 1/6, but like you said, the best bet is to make your own for the most part. As for your questions, the stock ZM black body suit fit like a charm on the HT TT Slim AA body, and the figure fir right back into the armor with no mods. I did a little weathering to the suit, but not much, and spend most of my time on the armor... I did an oil wash, some drybrushing, some chipping, mud spattering, oil stains, and heavy decaling, all protected under a couple coats of Future and then a matte finish.
