French Special forces, Night ops HALO jumper

His name is Chuteur, HALO (High Altitude, Low Opening) jumpers in French are called chuteurs opérationnels or chuteurs ops. It's a military specialities used mostly by soldiers needing to go behind ennemy lines or to enter a territory without the opposition noticing it.

He's a tribute to some customs of the guys that inspired me : Hawkeye, Steelbonnet and Scope UK. Thanks guys, your customs are absolutely perfect.

Recipe
Head : BBi Combat and Command (neck joint modded)
Torso, waist and upper legs : DTC Snowserpent
Arms and lower legs : DTC Barrel Roll

Gear :
altimeter : GI JOE (JVC)
SIG 550 : Marauder Inc.
knife : Marauder Inc.
Silencer (modded) : Marauder Inc.
Main chute, reserve and pack : BBi 173rd airborne paratrooper

All accessories (except the helmet) are detachable. The silencer can be fixed on the SIG (i had to hollow and widen it a bit)

lmk what you think

wow that looks great. I have the Dusty Trails HALO jumper, which is a nice piece but has no articulation and all gear molded in place. Yours looks just as good and with the advantage of removable gear, articulation etc.

Nice job.

That is really cool! makes me want to crack on and do a HALO figure myself!

Is that the marauder Inc wave 4 generic silencer on the sig? i take it you have drilled it out?

thanks Scope

i had to drill it a bit, but i really like this mod. even though it doesn't fit on every ISG i have : it depends on the amount of paint on the barrel
