My Snake Eyes Sigma 6 Custom Mech *SUIT*. A real SUIT, with a removable pilot (I don't care for the endless waves a mech suits that toy companies simply stick a head on).
I had the original Sigma 6 mech suit and started to mod it to make it enclosed. I was using foam board and then I used a couple of lego/mega block pieces. And then I decided to hell with it and started my own from scratch. I was so pleased with the results, that I gave the original mech suit away. Funny enough, all those elitist lego sites rejected my entry because my background wasn't solid white... really... I no kidding work 16 hours a day, I barely managed to find time to post this, let alone create a solid colored background. Anyways, I just want to share this with the public. My custom Mech suit for Sigma 6 Snake Eyes. These photos are actually 2-3 years old. Since then, I've made it even more poseable and have a set of customs arms built from a combiner wars devastator forearms with 3rd party hands (they have perfect slots for Snake Eyes arms to slide in) but I still have the original megablock arms pictured here. Background: I've always hated that enclosed exo/mech suits NEVER have a removable pilot. And I'm not talking GIANT mechs. NO! I want SUITS, with removable pilots. Those few model kits that manage to do this are incredibly hard to find and cost thousands of dollars. (Liquid Stone 1/6 starship trooper powered suit, or the MADOX-01 1/12 original model kit). So to hell with the toy companies, I decided to build my own using Sigma 6 Snake eyes. I tried upgrading the official mech suit, but it just didn't seem like a suit. I HATE how all these mech suits always have the arms hanging off to the side or something so just just decided it would be easier starting from from scratch. If it looks familiar, I took inspiration from the Command and Conquer 3 male amd female zone troopers. Last edited by LuciferX10; 08-22-2020 at 03:56 AM.. Reason: Want to move this to vehicles |

Nice job, my man! Great to see someone doing Sigma Six customs again (still remembering the late great Stewart Lee Hickman/Vanishing Point).
