[Darth Aidan]

Thank you for the great info! What head would look best?

If you're a purist then you should grab yourself any set of woodland BDUs; a thousand companies make 'em. But the trick is his hat. If DAM toys continues with their tears-of-the-sun line and comes out with Red, he should come with the woodland hat. If you just want to match palettes then go with the modern USMC MARPAT frog uniform. Uniform and cover (hat) ... is easy. I would go with one of definitely this:

I think the patterns match. And then use this tactical vest.

Get whatever backpack and then whatever M16 with grenade launcher. End result, leatherneck ...

Darth Aidan- This is my more modern take on Leatherneck. I used BBI and Very Hot parts for most of the custom.

it sure does!!! what body you use?

 

[SF Officer]

Soldier Story WWII Tarawa Marine.

 

[Darth Aidan]

Here is my first bash..

 

[Darth Cruel]

I picked up a 1:6 scale Zodiac for Beachhead. Got it today. I was a little disappointed to find that it did not come with oars. But other than that...it is frakkin' cool! I can't wait to get the figures in it.

 

[youbastards]

I've started piecing together the green shirts from scratch.

What is a good alternate body besides the Hot Toys stuff? Are the Soldier Story bodies good, and compatible with Sideshow wrists/ankles/necks?

Not looking for anything muscular, slim, etc... just standard 1/6 bodies with good joints.

 

[StealthFox]

the newer sideshow bodies are good. the viper and crimsonguard both have tight joints. they can also be had for less than 10 bucks a pop.

 

[SVantley]

I have a few sweaters I would like to trade. I'm looking for SSC Cobra Trooper/Sniper/Officer heads main want and blue uniform/helmet

So it's 1 black and 2 green both green sweater traded. will go in the mail tomorrow

 

[Darth Cruel]

I still need to finish getting the figures put together, but I found a place to buy the oars for the zodiac. Apparently it was supposed to come with them. I found a place that had them parted out and I wanted extras, anyway, so I picked up what I wanted. I can't wait until they get here. I mocked up the three figures in the zodiac as I plan to use them and I am stoked at how I believe it is going to turn out!

Can't. Wait to see it finished!..I am getting ready to bash a leatherneck

 

[Darth Cruel]

Here is a quick shot of the mock-up I have for now.

I had to borrow the oars from another of these zodiacs that I bought for a buddy.

 

[Kibagami]

BADASS! Oh man!
