Building your MARINES - CORRECTLY

[bigbisont]

I think that last pick is of "Nick-a-Trons" full Hicks display. I believe that holster came from the run discussed at the end of the link I posted above. He is a member here so you can PM him if you wanted to ask him about it.

Can anybody provide means to contact that Gustavo? How much does he charge for the holster?
Thanks!

I dont have the skill nor the patience. Gustavo will make it for me, you can jump in but there is a queue, I had to wait about a month and a half for my turn. [emoji33]

By the way asgardianboy. Did you pay the other 50% + shipping to Fergo for the knives???

Haha Kam. Yes that was me registering my interest with Gustavo (he is very nice). That version you have just shown looks very awesome. I had a go at making the bronica lighter case out of leather and whilst i am pleased with the results it took a long time (sewing is hard!) and was enough to make me realize that the more complicated design of the shotgun sheath is well beyond my abilities.

Gustavo did it, he told me its the smallest pouch he has ever done and as you say it was a hell to sew it. Love this man.

This pic is from Remar´s Hicks where he had the clip attached to the armor, that Biehn did not attach but gives a good look of the pouch.

went you way and bought a loose Mcfarlane Hicks for a cheap price just to get the oversized clip to attach to the bronica lighter pouch. With that pouch, the new shotgun holster and the new knives I am getting there. Hope to have the head painted by the end of August too.

Where did you get the loose Mcfarlane from? I have been looking for a bit now and can only find sealed ones. I really want the clip though so may just get one soon if I don't find a cheaper option.

Ah ok. I'll keep looking then! Still got some work to do before I need it anyway

Anyone know of a good 1:6 scale OG-107 cap [or close enough match] for Gorman / Drake?

No idea. Sorry

Got the Mcfarlane Hicks figure and placed in a bag the clip until the pouch arrives. The other thing is pretty useless in this scale.

That looks great! Who did the metallic name plate for the display stand?

Samuel Bodart but he doesnt make them any more. I am looking for someone else to make one. Does anyone here know who makes those plaques....?

I was admiring the stand too.
At this point, the best option would be to cast them for yourself in resin.

Nice job with Hicks by the way.
All of my Marines are still mostly stock.

 

[Space Jockey]

Very nice job. I forget Kam, do you own other USCM from HT? If so do you have plans on those too?

Just, Hicks and Hudson. Maybe I will buy Ripley 2.0. Enough for me to represent the film. Still gotta do a few things on Hudson and I am done.

One possible option for name plaques -

Not used em, and so can't speak to quality / reliability but was planning on talking to him re a custom data plate for my pulse rifle [1:1 scale].

 

[memphismayfire85]

Awesome figures!
