1/18 African Militia and Civilian customs

Post by Morian Miner » Sun Feb 05, 2006 12:36 am

After picking up a bunch of AK-47s from Marauders, I decide to put together a small African militia. They are a combination of body parts from GI Joe, The Corps, Eversparkle, Star Wars, and PTE figures. The donkey is from Fontini. Then, while waiting for the paint to dry on some of the figures, I FINALLY finished my second Dodge customization (I think this has taken me 6 months to finish), so I decided to make it into a technical. The building is from the Eversparkle sets.

Nice work! Now you can make a "Blackhawk Down" style diorama.

That's pretty cool. I like that. Though, the one guy looks like Arnold he is so ripped.

Unfortunatly, the Corps figures turned out to be a little more "buff" than I thought when I bought them. Probably was the oversized goofy heads distracted me.

Saw & commented on this on JC.
Fantastic work mate & great use of all the parts used & SO realistic too,which IMO is the best part.

Could be used in sooo many different dios with so many different oppossitions (US,UK,UN,Russian,Selous Scouts,etc).

Excellent work indeed :D
