What is the vest made from?
I keep trying to figure out a good one seeing my custom Matrix went shirtless...

The base vest is two ROC Sgt. Stone vests combined to make one big vest and painted black. The grenades and shotgun shells are from Marauder Gun Runners. The two large pouches are from a 25th Beachhead vest. The knife is from a POC Beachhead vest. The little pouch thing on the top right is from some huge fodder lot I got from Hong Kong. Again, getting the vest pretty exact was important to me. I looked up pics of the original prop vest from the movie to get it right. In the movie there are even two tiny knife sheaths on the lower back of the vest, although I couldn't find knives small enough to use for that. Hope that helps.

Wow. If this is a test, you passed with honors. That face with the eyes and skin tone is awesome.
The vest is spot on too. If I remember right though, by the time he assaulted the compound, his handgun was a Desert Eagle and he used an M-60 (don't remember which one, maybe the D or E3?) instead of the M249. But who cares, your work is so awesome, things like the watch and the short dio story just go one top of it all. Actually, the pistol my Matrix has is indeed a Desert Eagle (it's the default gun that comes with the holster on the Ultimate Roadblock legs I used). As for the machine gun, I didn't have an M60 whose handle fit in the hands I used (MU Absorbing Man has some big-ass hands), so I just went with whatever fit. I was more concerned with getting the overall look of the figure right, but eventually I would like to get him some more screen-accurate gear as well. I know he's literally covered with guns when he assaults the island at the end of the movie.
