Custom German snipers

Well I finally made some German snipers :P

Istarted with a 21st C figure and removed the lower torso and legs. Then I replaced them with a set from a BBI figure that are camo patterned. I then took one of the green hats and painted it in a dull darker tri-color to complete the figure. Next I gave them a custom made rifle with scope that I got from Razor. I further modified the scope on the gun to give it the glassy look of lenes and wa-la I have a sniper figure :)

So now, I could use some more, so it's back to the building table to create some with helmets and who knows else 8) Da General

General, looks great! How did you get the standing figure's right arm so close to his chest? He looks realistic with the rifle up against his shoulder.

Normandy,
I used alot of patience, force and a drop of CA to do it, so he's now like semi permenent :roll:

Stug,
Nope I can't get Max apart :( So I tried an S1 Otto and tried to force it and his torso broke :shock: :evil: So I guess that idea is out :(

Back to the drawing board :?

nice troops,

i'm not sure about the bbi seal legs though, the camo looks a bit too modern to me and the leg holster is way too anachronical
