since i can't afford for now the modern XD figs and i need a real world opponent for my troopers i've decided to redo a custom i've seen on the boards (thanks for the inspiration man)
i repainted a dr link modern joe fig (got a couple of them for cheap on ebay)
i added a custom made holster a repainted marauder inc AK47 with folding stock. i'm planning on adding some sculpt details on the shirt

That looks very cool mate,very cool indeed
Any chance a couple of clearer photos too?
The camo looks great by the way
Overall nice work on a African Militia of whatever you want him to be

thanks jason for your kind remarks
i'm currrently working on this guy again since the holster broke when i tried to put a gun inside,
i'm adding some other details and i'll post new and hopefully clearer pics
i still don't know what his story is gonna be :
the camo doesn't make him a casual militia guy, maybe a merc ?
i just wanted to try and paint camo pattern, i'm gald you like it btw

Yea like the look of him a lot.Works well for some war torn African nation.
Maybe with your Planned French troops you could do a region French troops have been called in to help Police/control/Peacekeeper role?

these pics looks better
as you can see i've added a bandolier and some stuff (canteen, pouch and a hand grenade),
i'm not satisfied of my holster but i'll try and mod a better one with experience

Always a fan of the African militiamen with an AK47
.
Hopefully, Gracelyn brings out its NBA figures. Something besides GI Joe for custom fodder (or maybe 21C can surprise us....)
