Very cool customs. The attention to detail is terrific. As a strange side-note, what are you using for your backdrop?

It's hard to believe that Snake started out looking like this. You definetly captured the feel of the original games.

LOVE IT. Love that you included all that gear. I'd forgotten about that old ad until I saw it on your website. I LOVED that ad! I'd draw all the elements by hand.

Only suggestion would be to try to find a Kyle Reese / Michael Beihn look-a-like head for him to match the box art!

Thanks for the response. On a strange note, after taking a second look at Snake, that Roger's head in a darker shade of brown or black would be a great Christopher Reeve.
