Description
Let submissions slip my mind and the next thing I know months have gone by.Got off my lazy ass between work sessions to compile some things I put together during what little free time I've had recently.
The usual original Sculpey for the head sculpt + some printable fabric for the custom vest, helmet cover and pouches + M&C M4 lower for the custom AR57. The rest are commercially available toys.
Addition views and inprogress images located here: [link]
Enjoy.

Only just found out about it, but I want a CA legal Semi-auto of the damn thing. 5.7 is one of my favorite calibers.

The AR57 looks awesome, the rig and uniform are also great looking, awesome work.

Thanks a lot!
I can't take credit for the uniform though. It's a commrecially available product from Combat Customs. Not spot on, but pretty damn nice.

Ohh, great expression and great job on the vent D:!
Hm, reminds me of making those plastic gundams from pachages. I should do that again.

Did you use the body from a "Power Team Elite
World Peace Keepers" doll? The hands look very
similar to that kind of doll.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I most certainly did!
The gloves were modified to bend a little better. The next step is to repair the ankle. This one broke recently.

I knew it.I tell ya those Power Team Elite:World Peacekeepers do all
right!The really good thing about em' is that you can use the gear and
uniforms on other 12 inch figures.
Btw......check this out:

I like them because they are the only brand of well articulated actiofigures I can find locally at Big Lots. The finer brands require me to ship them in from various places...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah,and at the great Big Lots price of $10.99 each........that's not
that bad.

Speaking of which, new batch hitting the shelves as we speak. Just in time for the holidays!
This time around there seems to be only 2 new headsculpts. Or, same sculpts which I've not seen the last time wround.

What do they consist of?New rifles,new gear?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It seeems to be the same gear and weapons as last year. But this time around, a few of the caucasion figure sets now have a African American sculpt/body. So, the often covetted dark skin toned bare hands are now a little more available. So that's always a plus.
Unfortunately, their price is now $10 each.

Cool.
I just recently picked up a CIA SPEC OPS Group Agent,2 Navy Seal
Tunnel Hunters(for the MP5s),the Combat Engineer(for the jackhammer
......I thought this would come in handy for some kinda bank robber
custom),and most of all....the SAS soldier(for the Enfield/Tavor rifle).
Let's not forget the gear!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Sweet haul! those figures came with some great updated equipment.
I should swing by my local BigLots to check them out!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah be sure to pick up that SAS Soldier and the Navy Seal Tunnel Hunter!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Sure did! That updated MP5K was all that it took to convence me, the TalkAbout radio sweetened the deal, and that fleese pullover sealed the deal! Get it? SEALED?
I picked up the SAS as well, but I do so little british bashing, I have very little use for UK gear. Who knows, I can make up some fictitious unit from HK for desert peration or something that might allow me to use some desert DPMs.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Cool!
Maybe you can make a shoulder strap for that MP5K,and for that
SAS Enfield/Tavor rifle as well.
I wish that fleese pullover was in khaki.That would've really looked
great on my custom Mercenary.
A fictitious unit sounds cool.

I don't have it with me. I think it is a little over 4" long

Thanks, man!
I made parts of it. Head, rifle, bodyarmor, and some pouches.

I think this project took about a week, on and off during my spare time.

Oh man, I am really loving the texture on his hair.

I wouldn't mind owning a HK416 though, preferably in 1:6 or 1:1.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hehe, wouldn't mind getting a hold of a MP7.
Or a shiny M911.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
MP7A1!!! Which is now available commercially from Tokyo Marui, 1:1 scale, and bbi, 1:6 scale.

Thanks, man!
The rifle is my attempt at building a Rhineland Arms AR57.
Hot Toy is releasing a hk417, which has some duplicate parts as the hk416. I'd expect one will be out within 6 moths. I can't wait! I'm an HK nut.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah. 417 is a bit longer than 416... i myself bought 416 two months ago... currently buying the additional parts such as bipod, scope, laser and flash...
