Dadderface as Solid Snake

Solid Snake

Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons Of Liberty

(Tanker Mission, Brawl)

Cosplayer: Dadderface
A severely updated version of my previous attempt at this costume. Even the parts that carried over have been modified like crazy. There's still a lot I'd like to do before I'm really happy with it, but for now I'm fairly pleased with how it turned out.

The shirt is a women's running shirt that I found in a pretty rad color, so the hard part was dyeing pants of a different fabric to match (which took three tries). Neoprene rubber was used to pad out the shoulders and the help anchor the grommets.
The load-bearing-vest was one of the first things I'd ever patterned out and originally sewn together by Akuriko. Since then I have re-sewn it a little and added more to it, as well as re-enforcing the rappelling harness.
The pouches were purchased, cut apart and then frankensteined back together. The dump pouch was made by me, and came in really useful since its fully functional.
The boots were made with a pair of rubber work boots as a base with craft foam to simulate the boot "seams" and other bits. I also added zippers to the backs of them.
The gloves and belt were purchased as is, as was the holster. Though, the holster had to be painted to match my other gear.
The wig is the same one that I use for Big Boss and the headband was made in a similar way as BB's.
