1/6th Figures

[MVSpartan117]

Hi all,
Just wanted to post a couple pics of my 1/6thers. Just wanted to know what you guys thought of them and how I can make them more realistic, although their not modeled after a particular unit or soldier(s). There composed of mostly Dragon Models gear and BBI gear, although there is a little 21st Century Toys in there. Please note I know my photography is horrible. Also I still have a little work to do on the guy w/ the M16

P.S.: Don't bash me too much for still playing with "toys" ;)

:lol:

Yeah I know his clip is crooked, was an accident, I didn;t notice it when I took it :roll:

[Seoulstriker]

that's really awesome! did you make those guys yourself?

[MVSpartan117]

Sure did, glad you liked them :)

[Seoulstriker]

Sure did, glad you liked them :)


that second photo looks so damn realistic, with the logs and everything. excellent job. woot woot woot

[MVSpartan117]

:D


I really need to practice with my new camera, I wish it wasn't blurry.... :oops:

[memphiz]

holy ****, i didnt read what you wrote at first and i thought they were real good job woot

[Beowulf]

that's pretty cool. Lots of detail.

[MVSpartan117]

Wow, I'm suprised you guys like them! Thanks!

[Skaman]

Man, if young kids got their hands on these they would choke and die.

Hope you like em'!

[Seoulstriker]

what force did you model them after?

[MVSpartan117]

Well very generally speaking U.S. Army Special Ops, I was going for the Iraq look =P......... I just build them as I go, I try to make them realistic, while looking cool. I admit, I could have done a much better job on my weapon choices though

[Dennis G]

Very cool


My favorites

http://www.arniesairsoft.co.uk/beta/html/modules/coppermine/albums/userpics/19783/patrol234.jpg<--- I like this one the most!



"Mam, we found a tactical m4 with a reflex sight in your sons throat" :)

[hank]

awesome job - I too thought the picture with the logs ws the real deal until I read the caption - nice work. I predict that you'll regret posting these - it won't take long for the buzzards to circle. Still, good job.

hank

[memphiz]

they even have little glow sticks in their vest, man those are cool

how much do those cost?

[MVSpartan117]

I predict that you'll regret posting these - it won't take long for the buzzards to circle.
hank

It's inevitable

[MVSpartan117]

Well, I kitbashed them, so I used parts from boxed firgures I've bought in the past, although you can buy nice boxed figures for around $30-$50.

I've always loved 1/6th figures, i got my first when I was 5. Since then, I'd honestly say that it's safe to say I've invest at least a thousand dollars in them, probably more :oops:


Edit: Here's a few sites to check out if your interested

Now, imagine if Hood posted those in the photo section of this site, with the comments...


Look! It's Delta! It has to be Delta! Only Delta wears the kufiyahs! And don't dispute me, I know what I'm talking about! They must be in the more wooded regions of Iraq!

rofl


Oh, and good work, bud. :D Looks very nice. I had to do a double take on this: http://www.arniesairsoft.co.uk/beta/html/modules/coppermine/albums/userpics/19783/patrol234.jpg

The foremost toy's eyes are are so detailed.

[MVSpartan117]

Delta ha! rofl
Thanks! :D

[Falco]

they are really nice!! Try painting the cooling holes black on the foregrip of the M16/M203.

[MVSpartan117]

Yeah, I've though about, but I suck at painting. I have been thing of just hollowing them out. But like I said my weapon choice was bad. I have some weapons the have hollowed barrels, mostly only a couple millimeters, but thier still hollowed.

Edit: Sorry I didn't actually read your post all the way, thought you were talking about the barrels..... Ya, I could probably paint those :)

[MVSpartan117]

I'll try to get a couple more pics up tommorow afternoon, after I get home from school.

Once again thanks for you comments! :D

[Uncle Sam]

Those are really cool...realistic... I think there is a forum site that deals with nothing but these action figures...1/6th scale commandos, or 1/6th scale warriors or something like that. Good job, anyway.

[California Joe]

Very nice. I used to paint a lot of figures. 54mm mostly. So did Argyll. Don't let anyone give you any ****. They're creative and well done.

[ChuckThunder]

Yeah I know his clip is crooked, was an accident, I didn;t notice it when I took it

They're called magazines.

Anyways the pics are very cool, wish I had GI Joes like that when I was younger.

[memphiz]

I've invest at least a thousand dollars in them, probably more


damn how many do you have

[MVSpartan117]

Thanks, I'm really glad you guys like them, I was skeptical about putting them on at first, but I guess it was a good idea.

Thanks again! :D

[MVSpartan117]

I've invest at least a thousand dollars in them, probably more


damn how many do you have

Well, I'll usually kitbash a guy, leave him together for awile, then take him apart and make another. right now I have 3 guys together, altough I have a alot of actual figure bodys i usually only make 3 or 4 really good guys


They're called magazines.

:-*$


j/k
Yeah, I've made a bad habit of calling them clips.

Thanks again for your compliments!

[Uncle Sam]

Hey, do they make an Airborne guy or a Ranger?? And how much do they cost ?

[James]

Does one of those guys have a unit flash from the 1st MarDiv? It appeared so.

Just curious.

[MVSpartan117]

I believe this is the patch you saw, you tell me :lol:

I'll look for an airborn guy for you tommorow, i'll post one then

[MVSpartan117]

Hell, man. You could take over Canada with the amount of forces you have there.







(Just a joke all you Canadians :P )

[MVSpartan117]

First France, then Canada!







Ahem, that's another joke.......

[Vance]

I JUST realized these were models. Jeez, they are so realistic.

[MVSpartan117]

[Salty Dog]

i used to collect action figures, but not anymore. i took some pictures when i first started collecting them. not even close to being as good as your figures or as good as your pictures, but whatever.

[DeltaWhisky58]

My Avatar is actually one of my 1/6th guys - 1st Bn. The Black Watch, Basra 2003.

There are two very good Forums for 1/6th collectors (modern subjects)

is there Canadian versions of these?
with like CADPAT? etc.

[Argyll]

Now these are pretty damn cool.
Now I may be 41 but these 1/6th guys are great for reference material,I want that SEAL TEAM 8 guy,great for making mods for Ghost Recon!!

[MVSpartan117]

NICE PICS!

Mine don't look as good anymore! :oops:

Excellent pics guys!

I preordered the seal team 8 before christmas, tonight I'm ordering a 10th Special Forces guy and a marine MEU guy. Should be cool :D

[MVSpartan117]

By the way thanks again guys for your compliments :D

[DeltaWhisky58]

Hi Guys - My Black Watch soldier is entirely kit-bashed from separate components - the Highland Bonnet & Hackle are handmade.

The figures and components available to us have come on leaps and bounds over the past few years from their origins in GI Joe and Action Man in the 60s.

I specialise in figures from Modern British Forces and their European allies. Uniforms in the correct cammo pattertn are often difficult to obtain, AFAIK no manufacturer has made any of the Cadpat kit so far, likewise German Desert flektarn, which I am keen to work with.

[Gringo]

Interesting to see some ppl collecting this figures. I've got 3:
Dragon SAS Recon
BBI Royal Marine
Dragon 101st SAW Gunner

I've recently started to collect some 6-inch fihures, which are a good compromise between the 12" and 4 3/4".
Here's the website that makes these
http://www.plan-btoys.com/

Very well detailed for their size.

[DeltaWhisky58]

Yes, thanks Argyll - It wasn't until after I had finished the Photoshop montage that I noticed it - thought "Oh Bugger" and decided a beer was more important than fixing it..............it's 1 RIR BTW - one of Col. Tim's own.

Planning on doing a bash of Col. Tim Collins as soon as I can get my hands on a 1/6th vest. Something along these lines.........

damn, that sniper/observer team is awesome! so many details! woot woot woot woot

[Apogee]

Not much point in a sniper wearing a bright red and white piece of cloth around his head though. Yea, yea, I know I'm being overly critical.

[flickme]

That red and white piece of cloth is called a shemagh.

[MVSpartan117]

Hey I have a question to you other 1/6th collectors

What do you think about bbi bodies? I like them, they're incredible nice to pose, but I have a couple of problems with them. 1. Their necks seem to be too long. 2. They seem to be almost too posable, they can sometimes look awkard when posing. 3. They seem to be too loose, When I pose mine they often fall over or slump down in some way. 4. Thier hands pop out too easily.


What do you guys think?


P.S.: this is probably a bad plac to ask but, I'm looking into buying some 1/6th U.S. Tri-color desert camo, if anyone would be willing to sell me some, PM me :D

[James]

I believe this is the patch you saw, you tell me :lol:

I don't wanna nitpick, but 12th InfCie is Marines, not Army (so Korps Mariniers instead of Koninklijke Landmacht). Also as a regular infantry guy the guy would propably have a C7 with 3.4x Elcan scope on it...

I'm pretty sure no companies make C7's or Elcans

[Haiw]

Well they should if they're bringing out a model of a Dutch trooper...

[MVSpartan117]

He kitbashed that figure, it wasn't manufactured by a company.

Those are really good man, keep us updated!

I used to make videos of toy soldiers duking it out...usually with my old D-Day set, I don't even know if I still have it. Used to simulate someone falling and dying by whacking them with a thin metal rod. rofl You are obviously more talented in this than I. ;)

[MVSpartan117]

Heh!

*Whack*

"Man Down!

:D


Anyways thank you for your compliments, I'm gonna make a new set of guys here soon after I take apart the ones in the photos, I'll probably post some new photos next week :)


Any requests? (i.e. Jungle, desest, cqb, etc...)

Thanks again!

[Sir Zach of R.]

Let's get rid of the airsoft section and replace it with a 1/6th scale section. rofl Just kidding. This is really cool, I think I found myself a new hobby.

Well thx! The figures are mostly bbi but the sniper is wearing a intoz guillie suit and has a bbi m14 with pistol grip(not sure of name) and hot toysz boots.
If you can with all that wooded area try to hook up a sniper correct for that terrian.

[DeltaWhisky58]

Haiw - thanks for the pointers on Dutch forces - as another member pointed out, all of my figures are one-offs, none even based on boxed figures. I wasn't aware of the correct sight unit being available. Although I am a regular visitor to your country, my knowledge of Dutch is poor. I picked up what I could from the Dutch Iraq contingent website, but some was lost in the translation.

BBI figures - IMO without doubt the best, but difficult to stand up independently, there are so many joints, they often work against each other.

Stuntman - An odd combination, presumably Hasbro AG-36 GL - where did the sight come from?

[Argyll]

Where's a good place to obtain these figs in the UK?
has the SEAL team 8"Trident" been released in the USA yet?

[DeltaWhisky58]

Argyll

The Trident fig. isn't available in the UK yet - yes, it's worth getting, one of the best BBi have done so far.

There is a bit of a problem at present in that BBi have appointed a new inporter (Corgi) who have put the prices up. Trident will be easily available in the UK, but will be around £40, whereas with the strong £ at present you will be able to by it (delivered) from the US for around £28-30 assuming the pound stays strong.

The best UK retailer is Modeller's Loft http://www.modellersloft.co.uk/

But I would advise one of the following US/Canadian dealers all of whom I have used personally.

OJO - http://www.oldjoeinfirmary.com/
Outer Perimeter - http://www.outer-perimeter.com/
The Battle Rhino - http://www.thebattlerhino.com/

Trident may be a month/six weks away from the UK, but will be on the shelves any day now Stateside - shipping from any of these guys is usually 7-10 days. Any further questions, drop me a PM.

[Argyll]

Thanks for that DW58...yes I want that figure,some of the other stuff on the Action2000 site is breathtaking too,the PJ,and the other SEAL CQB's,but at $90 a bit pricey at the mo!

I'm going to order that SEAL and get it delivered to my work!!so the wife don't find out!!!!!

You've just passed the test - welcome to 1/6th Military Firgure collecting!

[Gringo]

This weekend (if the weather's ok) I might get the camara out and show u guys these 6 inch figures that have just recently come out.
I reckon they are a good compromise between the 1/6th and 1/18th.
I find the 1/6th figures too delicate and a little expensive.
And the 1/18th lack detail.

[Armour recon]

Here is also a nice site... and remember to check the KITBASHING section.

http://www.minitroopers.8m.com/

[Sir Zach of R.]

Hey guys, I just went out and blew $172 on two new figures and some sets. I don't have a scanner so unfortunately, no pics :( .

Devgru $85 - Hot Toys

ST8 Trident $42 - BBI

SOE CQB set (Desert) $34.00 - Ace

M870 shotgun set $11.00 - DML

The Devgru figure is really cool. He comes with the controversial "Banna Republic vest," a 35mm camera w/ zoom lens, ball cap, TASC 2 ear cup, sunglasses, a badass M4/M203, and a helluva lot more than I can mention. But what's coolest, is that his gloves are real! I mean, they actually come on and off, and are cloth! Too cool. The Trident fig by BBI has got to be by far their most popular figure, I just bought some loose parts from Opsgear, but currently, everything I ordered is on backorder. Turns out EVERYTHING sold out within a half a day. He comes with sunglasses, BHI S.T.R.I.K.E. vest, a really cool M4 Commando w/ KAC RIS, Surefire foregrip, AN/PEQ-2, a COMP ML2 w/ KAC mount (I think), and some really cool Salomon mid expert light weight boots ( :D ). Still, it's way to much to fit into one post. Well probably not, it's just I don't want to bla bla bla bla.................... The Desert SOE set is cool, although it did not come with a main weapon or body, or comm. system, or headgear. It just came with:
Desert SOE CQB vest, Desert SOE CQB subload, Safariland 6004 holster, Sig P226, Desert buttpack, RAID DCU, Tan T-shirt, utility upper, and dual pistol upper. And as usual it came with boots (Obviously a must have). I'm still waiting for the DML weapons set to get here. I get paid again next friday, and since I don't really have anything urgent to buy, I think I'll go buy that new AFSOC PJ by Hot Toys.

Basically it means you get all the hear for the particular figure but un-boxed and without the **** doll - this is mainly fior guys who want to have multiples of a figure to make up a squad or whatever, without having them all look alike.

[Argyll]

Zach that Hot toys PJ looks fookin superb!
The trident figure,is it as good as the hype?Damn I'm jealous!
I just ordered one from the monkey depot....!

Argyll - as you have now joined the OSS lunatics - have a look at the Hot Toys thread in the General section, there is a possibility of a cheap bulk-buy on the USAF PJ if you're interested.

You really wouldn't believe the level of detail.........pistols with working slides/removeable mag, rifles with functioning actions. Many pouches etc. used to be plastic, but most are now being relaced with realistic fabric ones. The level of detail is awesome.

I even have a female figure which comes with two chests - ample and awesome!

[Haiw]

you mean like this?http://pic3.picturetrail.com/VOL15/631045/1548672/29433681.jpg
Pretty much yes, but without the AG36. Even though I read somewhere they might be (or are being) acquired by the Dutch army they aren't in service (yet).

[Haiw]

Haiw - thanks for the pointers on Dutch forces - as another member pointed out, all of my figures are one-offs, none even based on boxed figures. I wasn't aware of the correct sight unit being available. Although I am a regular visitor to your country, my knowledge of Dutch is poor. I picked up what I could from the Dutch Iraq contingent website, but some was lost in the translation.
Ah okay. I thought it was from some lame factory that was too lazy to research the things they produce. ;)

If you ever need any help on the Dutch stuff just shout.

[Sir Zach of R.]

The Trident figure, totally awesome. Damn I wish I had a camera! I've also got some stuff coming in from goodstufftogo.net in about a week. It's just some extra accessory stuff from HT. I bought the Alta knee pads, the OD assault backpack (X-1 RAPTOR. produced by BHI) and a few other things. Toy soldier is supposed to have some new CIA set coming out. He comes with a CAR-15 with a ML2 mounted on a weaver rail. It looks pretty cool. The new SOE FROG set from Ace isn't as up to par in detail like the CQB set. It's nice but it hardly comes with enough gear. Just the vest, subload, pistol, holster, BDU and boonie hat. It's a nice mix n' match set, but not much up there if you want to design an entire figure out of it. I've also heard rumors of a new Delta Force set from HT that comes out this summer. It's either gonna be for Iraqi Freedom or Enduring Freedom.

Anyone know where to buy really nice weapons?

does your camera have a feature for focusing on extremely close objects? on my camera it's a little button with a flower icon.

very nice pictures, btw.

woot woot woot

[MVSpartan117]

Thanks, I really don't know I just got my new camera, 5 megapixels( woot)! I really have no idea how to use it :lol:


So I still have a little learning :D

[Seoulstriker]

yeah, you're definitely not enabling the up-close focus option on the camera. which camera are you using, anyway?

(notice how the background is perfectly in focus while your centered object is out of focus)

[MVSpartan117]

It's a Canon Powershot G5, I'd love any advice you can give me on using it

[b00n]

I have a bunch of these 1/6 Soldiers too, i think im gonna get them out and do some photos as well. Spartan these are some great pics really gets me in the mood to buy a basic guy without gear and set up a custom one myself.

[MVSpartan117]

Thanks boon! Good luck with your photos, hopefully they'll be better than the ones I posted today! :lol:

BTW: Change in plans, look like I have a free day today, I should have some more photos up in probably a couple hours

[Seoulstriker]

It's a Canon Powershot G5, I'd love any advice you can give me on using it


hmmmm... i have a canon powershot g2.

i think the button you need to press is directly to the right of the 'eye hole' piece (view finder). you know what i'm talking about.

or maybe it is to the left of the view finder. i don't know. just look for a flower icon. or look in the manual. ;)

I LOOKED AT THE 360 VIEW OF THE CAMERA! IT IS THE BUTTON DIRECTLY TO THE LEFT OF THE VIEW FINDER! THE LITTLE FLOWER THINGY.

whenever you have the out of focus close image, be sure to turn on the flower.

[MVSpartan117]

Whoa! ok ok, I'll be sure to do that! I'm headed out in a couple mins for more photos, wish me luck =P

[Seoulstriker]

Whoa! ok ok, I'll be sure to do that! I'm headed out in a couple mins for more photos, wish me luck =P


hehehe. ok. :)

Should I run the camera on Auto? or is thier an outdoor setting? I really should read the maunuel....... :oops:

[Seoulstriker]

Should I run the camera on Auto? or is thier an outdoor setting? I really should read the maunuel....... :oops:


heehehe. when i was reading the specs for the G5, i was like, is he a professional photographer?

seriously, that camera can do some serious damage, but you need to figure out how to use that complicated equipment. leaving everything on auto is great, but remember you need to adjust for the upclose picture with the flower. :)

good luck!

You need to take an X Acto knife and hollow out the end of the barrel on his rifle. Beautiful work.

Wow, thanks for your compliments, and i am considering hollowing some of my barrels!

I'm glad you like them!

As for the M4 I think the first one, on the guy with glasses, a CAR-15 or something. The onther one is just a regualer M4A1

Dragon figures are pretty good, but they don't look as good as BB

you mean the heads/skins of Dragon are not so good?

But the dragons DCus colors and the pattern are pretty accourate ,

What? No one got that Jackson Pollack thing? Uncultured bastards.

that are the guys on the pics that I posted,,,the two soldiers of the 3rd ID

I have spent A LOT of money on 1/6th guys, I've been collecting since I was like 5......

What? No one got that Jackson Pollack thing? Uncultured bastards.Yes yes...

[EvanL]

Jackson Pollock was an artist. They made a movie about him. I think it was Ed Harris who starred in it.

some interesting non movable figures per sei

That are Verlinden 120mm and Andreas stuff right ?

That s accutaly my Hobby the 1/35 sacle modeling and 120mm figures but it costs you a lot of time so to purchase a cool Doll of 1/6 already painted is better and you save a lot of time,,,,,but the model scale figures of Verlinden Tamya look great too even if you have to assemble and paint them on your own

[California Joe]

The designer of the figures must have had a sense of humor is all.

I am going to get myself a dragon 1/6 model!!!

1/6 dolls rules!!!

good night p-) p-) p-)

[MVSpartan117]

Guy honestly, I really think BBI is better than Dragon, It's more realistic and cheaper, however I tends to be complex. Dragon costs more and a great deal of thier gear is made from plastic. Also Dragon Headsculpts tend to look worse and are shiney......

Just some food for thought p-)

[HooyahCQB]

I believe BBI is better than Dragon as well. However, I think Hot Toys takes the cake. I've got two of their figures, and they're the finest i've ever had/seen.

nope, they are fully painted non articulated figures based to the adult collector market right out of the package. not sure on thier price, i know thier around shops, when we were at the con they had already sold out of the ones they brought to sell as that was thier first year running.

series one looked a bit rough but series two looks like it will take off.

[Sir Zach of R.]

One of my friends has the Hot Toys SEAL CQB - Desert figure, and it definately is one of the best figures I've seen. But one thing did hit me pretty hard. The damn HDS looked like it had been melted. I got onto toysquare.com to check out some photos and sure enough, the damn thing looked like a blob. The Hot Toys version of Eotech's 551 HDS is pretty much the crappiest thing ever. I mean, it's too short, it's not even tall enough to see over the front sight. For god's sakes, it doesn't even stand taller than the PAQ-4 that is included. I let him have one of mine that came with the BBI "Gunslinger" figure.

[California Joe]

I have no idea what that meant.

YEah I'm gonna have to go with you on that one........

nothing compaired to spartans action pics but its some of my fav guys i have. ive got a total of 22 of them and a navy seal desert buggy.

[James]

Just wanted to post a couple pics of my 1/6thers. Just wanted to know what you guys thought of them and how I can make them more realistic, although their not modeled after a particular unit or soldier(s).

Many SOF units wear no insignia whatsoever. All you will see (usually on the shoulder of the blouse and the helmet cover) is the person's last name, blood type, and the last 4 of their social security number. Ex:

Jones
A+
1497

Get a sharpy pen and go to work! :)

[MVSpartan117]

Sounds good, I might do that.

Thanks for the compliments, cool guys

Dragon Models are of good quality, and they release a load of new figures on a regular basis, however the cover mainly WW2 (80% German) and Modern (90% US - mainly SF) with a smattering of other figures. As an example of the figures released to cover GW2, about 10 were modern US (all army) and three were Brits (poorly done).

BBi produce far fewer figures than Dragon, but on the whole these are of much better quality. They also cover both modern and WW2 and generaly their figures are better made, better thought out and contain more kit. Again in the modern sector there is a heavy bias on US Special Forces, especially SEALS.

Hot toys are much more limited production - prices are higher, but you get amazing detail and heaps of kit. The main disadvantage is that the dolls are seriously awful!

21st Century are not really in the balgame any more, their quality is poor, although they have prices to match. What 21c are very good at is vehicles.

There are other low-level producers such as Sideshow Toys, Custom Craft, Ignite, Dog Soldiers, Armoury etc., ranging from Very good (Armoury & Custom Craft) to poor.

Speaking as one who sees this as a serious extension of any military interest, the only way to get total accuracy and realism is to "kit-bash" your own figures. To do this you iether buy a boxed figure and work on it, or ado as I do, start with a basic **** doll selected for the correct look etc., and then buy/trade al of the parts you need to assemble the most accurate representation possible of the inidvidual figure/unit etc. possible. In some cases this may involve modification or even scratch-building of parts.

Most 1/6th figure dealers supply individual parts - some specialise in it. Kit-bashing is more expensive than buying boxed figures, but it is far more satisfying.

Does anyone have any 1/6 WWII photos?

[MVSpartan117]

DeltaWhiskey, I totally agree with everything you said, kitbashing is definatly the way to go if you want realism.



Ryan94, Cool guys, but just to give you some constructive critism work on your posing a little bit, they look a bit unatural.


Excellent guys though.


Unfotunatly today here in the sunshine state (florida) it's raining, constantly. So probably no photos from me today.

Just wondering, no big deal. Its just sad when someone associates African American with 'Gang Banger'. Its a spurious pre-conception.
Sorry to get off topic. Anyways, interesting figures. Any ww2 era figures?

[MVSpartan117]

I have some WW2 stuff, I'll try to make you WW2 fans something :)

[stuntman]

I love the kitbashing job but this looks like a broadway play instead of insertion into Iraq. I find a good picture on this site and i try to pose them acordingly!
Just a little tip but your soldiers are bad ass, they also remind me of socom soldiers with the mixed camo.

[Fox2]

Unfotunatly today here in the sunshine state (florida) it's raining, constantly. So probably no photos from me today.

Or the No Sunshine State as I like to call it. p-)

Oh by the way, I'm not sure If I'm gonna post any pictures soon, I'm probably gonna wait till I recieve the stuff I ordered

I'm not sure if you posted what you are waiting for but, I am curious to what your bashing next?

[fisheyestudio]

Hey howdy hey!

Do any of you 1/6th scalers ever visit Greenleaders site? It is my other favorite besides here. I will try to post some images of my modern figures but here is a link to my site were you can see some of my ww2 figures and vehicles.

http://fisheyestudio.tripod.com

It is a great hobby and way to appriciate History and the sacrifice of others.

Jesus blessings!
chris holloman HOH

[MVSpartan117]

I go to GL's site every now and then

My next kitbashing project will probably be a continuation of my jungle SF guys, I'll probably then do another batch of desert guys, I'd really like to start using some of my vehicles in my photos too.


In the mean time I might do some WW2..... But I don't have much ww2 stuff so the guys might not be the most historically accurate

[MVSpartan117]

I just looked at your site, I LOVE your kitbashing! I really like the work you've done with those vehicles!!!


But my favorite thing has to be your lawnmower!!!

[b00n]

Ok i got some, not really good but its a start, gonna get me some new figures and gear+weapons.

bbi "snake", I 'm pretty sure

[b00n]

Yep its Snake, and one day, yeah one day ill finish the goddamn ghillie :-*$

/edit: yeah and ill also have to fix that SAW, the Dragon Weapons are better then the BBI ones in my opinion (at least if you have to fixem).

[MVSpartan117]

BBI weapons seem to be fragile, even thier diecast metal ones.


Although thier not the most realistic, my 21st Century guns have really stood the test of time.......... and idiot freinds whose only point in life is to break things.....
