You did good on the Wustentarn camo. The G36 is also well done. The clip almost actually looks like it's that clear/black ABS from this angle. Very well executed. He also looks very German. :D

Is that Obi-Wan serving the SAS? Not only does he fight in space, he somehow manages to get in the SAS and look damn fine in that DPM :D I must say he looks really good, the finish is clean and smooth, though I think he's got a pretty well kempt face and beard seeing as he shouldn't get too many showers behind enemy lines... :D :lol:

Fantastic job Blaster, keep up the good work man!

Yep, those SW figures make good WWII soldiers too 8)
I have both Jedi and Imperial figures heads serving both sides of the war now :wink: And that's also where Hans the Hun and Herman the German came from too :P Da General

Very cool work Blaster!!! I have been wanting to finish my KSK team myself. Love the SAS figure!!! The Head choice is perfect and i may have to steal that idea!

That's cool Blaster i have seen that pic before i want to do that as a figure! I have been waiting for Marauder's wave 5 for the sight to go on his M-4 so later this month when this wave arrives i have to work on this figure seeing your's has inspired me to make a start. :D

i like the pic too, i've been considering making a custom of it myself

the diemaco rifle is a bugger to make though, i'm not sure i've got the skills to customize one out of a M4

good news is i've started to make custom magpuls ;)

magpuls? i am going to be interrested to see how you do that! the diemaco is going to be hard so i might have to cheat and use an M-4 with a H&K grenade launcher that i have already made.

Another member of my SAS team in A'stan


i've used a 25A Beach Head (single card) body with a Biggs Darklighter head.
The pullover has been repainted and lightly sulpted (patches on the shoulders) to reflect the classic commando pullover of the British Army.
i modded a PTE body armor to make it look like an Osprey one with BBi pouches).
I also gave him a BBi pump action shotgun (i wanted to keep the shells on the body armor) that fits in a BBi harness (modded i had to cut off the bottom of the thing to make room for the shotgun's barrel)

In his thigh holster he's got the original BH beretta.
he also carries a Marauder inc modular NVR that makes a good H&K 417 (the sniper version shooting 7.62 rounds hence the larger mag)
