Looking for an OD green shirt; from either one of these sets:

(BBI Navy SEAL NCST Raider)

(Hot Toys PMC Operator)

It's a long shot but might as well try. And yeah, if I get one of the listed items I'll be selling the OD green shirt that came with hawk.

Remember that Navy uniform and cap that some thought would work well with Shockwave? Can't find it anywhere. Anyone see it for sale? or better yet anyone with a better idea for Shockwave? Even if it is in a different color, something with that angular pattern?

The Magic Cube one?
EDIT;
It's available from Black Ops Toys for $30 as a complete set, or $20 for just the shirt, pants, and patches (missing the hat and t shirt).
Full set:

Just the outer shirt, pants, and patches (No hat or t-shirt):

It's on backorder over at Cotswold:

I have one, it's well made but fits a little too big imo.

 

[Kibagami]

That would be a good starter set for shock-wave.

Thanks for the links. I'll think about putting an order in at Cotswold. I still would like a less busy and more true to the original pattern, even if I have to dye it blue.

Personally, I would go with that because it's more modern but yeah, you're right; a little too busy.

You can try doing that. I've heard and discussed with people that dyeing a patterned fabric will still retain the pattern. I suppose it would depend on the dye and how much dye is used.

I dyed a pair of desert camo light blue for a Starduster and it looks pretty good. The green and dark brown in the camo stands out. The base material took the dye pretty well, though it came out a little greyblue rather than sky blue.

I really like the weird arrow stripe camo on the orignal figure. Wonder if I might be best suited finding an all blue uni and then painting on the > > < < shapes.

Pics or it didn't happen.

Of my starduster? Its just shirt and pants right now.

For the odd camo, you might want to look at some of the 90's+ 12" Hasbro stuff.

Yuk. I'd rather not. I find most of that stuff doesn't really fit anyway.

Now that I pull him out of the box again I realize you can't really tell I dyed the pants at all. At one time they were a light tan. Now they are a very light grey, not really bluegrey as I thought. I'll have to redye them a lot heavier blue.

I little more work on my kitbash monster...I like how he is coming along.

 

[EVILFACE]

Generic-Viper?

 

[Darth Cruel]

Really just a conglomeration of some of my favorite 1:6 parts. No specific character.

Edit - I have really taken to those modular Dragon M4s lately.

 

[EVILFACE]

Needs a name. Call him Blackout or similar.
