Default Re: New Nathan Drake statue!

Yes, indeed. I thought it was important to maintain look of "movement" and while it would have been cheaper and easier to sculpt a lot of the parts onto the characters...like the holsters, bandolier, grenades, etc., it just would have looked weird to have those elements hug the body during a fight like this. Some of those parts were just too thin to make out of polystone, so we need to make them using injection molded plastic. It can take 30-40 days to make the tooling for that. Also, because of the pose, I wanted to make sure the armature would hold up so your statue wouldn't warp due to the Shoreline soldier supporting Drake's weight. Basically, I want to get this statue right, so I need some extra time to achieve that (we decided to make a second connection point to ensure the structural integrity of the piece).

Thanks,
Gary
