I don't like it. The battle-kata things aren't nailgun sized. My joes can't have anything realistic.

I was going to post a similar smart ass comment.

This size actually works without it looking like a cheesy POS accessory. Good job.

I like it; wouldn't have thought of him as a Battle Kata guy, but it works. I really like the knife sheath on the inside leg.

The vest is driving me crazy, though - I know you modded it, but what's the base?

Those turned out great! They're a lot more realistic than what we got. I really like the improved holders.

I think the reason I thought of him as a potential battle kata guy is because the original sculpt had duel handguns, with two knives. I always thought he was loaded for CQC. They made it sound like a "ninja" system but I can see some benefits of something like this, where engaging in a SWAT intrusion would necessitate weapons that can be easily accessed without them being exposed in a way that can be used against him.

A couple mistakes I made. The print has multiple sets on the same sprue and I mixed up the right handed glock with the spare left handed glock. They are supposed to be mirrored.

The reason for the (TTT zombie bite edition) name is because I dropped this printed head and the hat brim chipped. If it wasn't for the fact it took 3 orders from Shapeways to get this made, I would have ordered another one, but I'm cheap so we're winging it.

I'm definitely going to have to try to find a way to cast these parts. I don't know how well it will do just because the parts are printed for perfect fits. It's just gets a little annoying how the paint will kind of chip off.

It seems that I lost all of my photo links. Facebook made an update to their photo uploading software so maybe new links were generated cancelling out the old.

If you go on the book of face and look up Giga Bread, you should be able to find my artist page with all of the photos intact.
