Let me know what you think.

Now that's cool! Those look great and very professional. Modify them a little - so they look less like the Hasbro version - and sell your idea to 21st Century Toys! But you may want to change the "tensions in Europe" lines to read "tensions in the Pacific." I know WWII officially broke out in Europe first, but it was in the Pacific that the US found cause to go to war, and besides these are the Marines!

You've got to also make up cards for the whole USMC squad - then make some for the 21c Japanese, and US & German Paras. I remember on the old 21c site, under the section for the Marines that showed the prototype figures, they had some brief biographies. Those were not as neat as your file cards though. This is something 21c should have done with their figures to give them a little more personality than just a rank and name.

Here is another one I created from scratch. I think it works really well as a possible dossier file on the character. Please note these are probablly not accurate by any means. My knowledge of WW II is fairly limited. I just look at the figure and get an impression or small back story for them based upon what I see.

Ha I like the Major`s bio mate You`ve done a grand job.

Maybe if your going to do more,it could be worthwhile either asking Q`s on the period to the guys here or reading up on it yourself. Maybe even throw in some conflict accounts too.

Like for the Maj here,he took part in the Glider assault in Holland,Parachuted into Crete,etc etc?

Just an extra idea & well asking questions/reading history doesn`t do any harm does it

Excellent work again mate

it looks like illustrator and or photoshop. I know you could use both to get those results. Neat idea.

The first two I did using the G.I. Joe filecard creator found on www.joecustoms.com The third one I made myself using Paintshop Pro and a resized, grey scaled picture of Major von Schnitzel from the 21st Century Toys website.
