The simplest mod you can do for those guys is weather their skin. It's really shiny. I'd suggest an acrylic craft fleshtone paint. Old Jack is a tough lookin' mofu. Nasty scar. Question is: How the fook did he survive being slit from one side to the other? I presume you guys use only Ultimate Soldie...

Ah yes. Bachman's F scale. (That is the new letter tag for it from model rails). That would undoubtedly look pretty good. And the 10% is not readily observable. (Model railroader's 2 ft rule: if it looks right from 2 feet out, don't sweat it.)

Found the Blackhawk, the SEAL, some modern SpecOps (obviously CIA-SAD), haven't seen much of the Air America Huey though. Are they out of production?

Which scale garden railway do you have? Aristo-craft is 1:29 scale, close enough for government work to 1:32.

You could conceiveably use some of the finer scale track in 1:24 scale to use as narrow gauge in 1:18.

Talented modeling is talented modeling regardless of scale.

Does anyone make 1:18 scale SOG figures in Tiger Stripes?

As a model railroader of many years, I've seen some fine stuff in scales from 1/4" to 1:160. Your work ranks right up there Bird Dog.

I'm into covert operations (Nam SOG, Central American bush wars) so I dig the Huey.

Does anyone do a Blackhawk in any configuration?

Does anyone do wargaming with these figures?

Do you guys wargame with the figures or just collect? I've always had some interest in military figures, GI Joe as a kid, and the new stuff now, but 1:18 seems to be a scale to have some good wargames. I have too many hobbies (model railroading, airsoft, military books) to dive in whole hog or none,...
