I couldn't find the jump suit, so I ended up modifying something close.
The nametag and 3d printed shoes came out alright, I think. I'm not so happy with the head, so I'll do the one more revision later.

Happy to say I recently pulled the trigger on the complete hot toys aliens marine figures. Trying to replace most of their heads now. I really like the Rocco one for shocks but does anyone know if the helmet can still fit on with his spiky hair? Thanks!

I've been doing some repainting.
I also touched up an old, recast set of the EVA models kit.
And I repainted and re-strapped an old recast set of Dorgmal Snow's USCM armor. (Not pictured are the greaves and knee armor)
I rigged some magnets under the back of one set, and inside a ruck so I could replicate the look of the Marine pack from the manual (I just forgot to grab some good photos of it)
A quick assembly/test shot.

Nice work, PM!
I really like the gunmetal finish on the rifles, in particular.

Thanks! I'm hoping to go through and upgrade the web gear and bodies on my Marines, I wanna get 'em in some photos more regularly.

Hi, I bought Hicks with custom head some years ago and I wonder who made this head
I believe that is the head modified by Les Walker
Yes, it is definitely a FML Spikey Haired Hicks head. I have one on my Hicks figure.
I think he also made a few Newt figures...

Thank you very much !
Does anyone know where I can find an extra shin and knee guard? The Hicks I got is missing one set

I wish some company would pick up the Marines again, at least an updated Hicks. Been wanting one for years.

There are a few 3d models of the armour around. I'd recommend Michael's over on CGI Trader (I'm sure I'd scale it down for you if required, too).
Wow I've never heard of/used this site. I would definitely love to purchase parts and paint them. I can just send a message requesting 1/6 scale? Not sure what scale this is in currently.Very rarely on ebay, and for bazillions of dollars

He's in some of the Facebook groups I'm in let me ping him directly, as he might be interested in posting here.
Awesome let me know. I would love to talk to him about making it happen.

Spoken to Michael re his models, he's gonna look into re-scaling em. I'll post something up here if/when that happens (he's super busy with work atm).
Great that's wonderful. If he just starts with the shin and knee guards that would be great.
Any update?
