Great to finally see some of your custom work mate & Very impressive.

Shame there a bit blurry though,not like I`m really one to complain on that though.....LOL

He looks kitted out well & truely

Very nice selesction of kit for the figure Scope

One question though & this is REALLY Important. Is he 1/6th or 1/18th?

I`m having a truely hard time figuring out which.As there`s elastic that`s thin enough to use for the harness & belts & straps that you have used for 1/18th.

If he`s 1/18th You Sir Are SUPERBLY Talented If it`s 1/6th It`s A Fantastic piece.

Thank`s for sharing

he is 1:18th for sure and i have made all the packs and trousers etc myself he is made from chopping a Corp! and elite force figure up and mashing them together. The straps are elastic and very small ribbon. I have the rest of the 7 man team on the go including a 60 gunner (Marauder inc), SAW gunner, Comms guy, and Medic all on the go. Am glad you like him and thanks for the help JA re posting pictures just wish i had a better digital camera.

ii know what you mean about the pics

i've got the same problem

i'm still impressed by the quality of those 1:18, i was sure when i 1st saw them that they were 1:6 customs, it's awesome and very cool

Scope WOW mate as I said if this was 1/18th WHICH we Know it IS You sir are very talented to pull this off

The SEAL looks truely amazing. As said it was hard to say if it was 1/18 or 1/6th Now that says something doesn`t it

I`ve made a few packs in cloth myself though they`ve just been reworked 1/6th pouches. Your pack though looks spot on. The Trousers & Jacket are mind blowing mate & SPOT on for Military. I don`t think I`ve seen ANYONE get it this RIGHT

WELL DONE

Like RED did you`ve wooed me with your First custom postings mate & You`ve got a fellow Countryman truely being a BIG Supporter of you

OUTSTANDING Scope truely OUTSTANDING.

I love this obby & moreso all the New customs that are popping up of ppl who`ve sat out there FINALLY realising they MUST Share there work with Us

thanks guys for all the praise was inspired to post by all the great pictures of customs i have seen from the guys here. I tried painting but found that i was crap at it so tried this instead and after alot o trail and error am now doing stuff that looks quite good. here is another pic that will contrast it against a bbi fig i have tried to clear the image up a bit

NB the white cylinder thing on the front and on the pack is a cut up glow in the dark necklace used as a chem light. it looks cool in the dark when it lights up.

Also even More of a WOW factor with this custom.

You are a true talent & I`m really glad you have decided to start posting your customs mate. It`s a Crime NOT too & I`d hate to have to goto your home & TAKE THEM ALL OFF OF YOU

LOL

Excellent work mate

Hey guys i am glad you like the fig Sorry about the picture quality.
The camo material is just ordinary material and the patern is added by using paint. Water based paint works best!. Te straps are the same sort of material that are used on 1/6th figures

anyway i have taken a few more pics so that you can see the figure seperate from the gear. This guy isnt finished yet as i plan to paint the jacket to give him a woodland coloured top.

can't believe you made those, it's awesome !

the collapsable stock of the m4 is a nice touch

scope uk · Post by **scope uk** » Thu May 04, 2006 12:02 pm

Thanks blaster_e11 I was happy how the M-4 turned out too especially as i made it from a BBI M-4 that i accidentily stood on and broke. The stock has been drilled out and a metal pin added so that it can be pulled out and in without restriction. The M203 was removed with exacto knife and the barrel was removed then stuck back on.
