Small Scale Military Headquarters

Well guys here are two more guys from my eight man SEAL team The 60 gunner is carrying the same design of backpack as one of the ones already shown but the RTO is issued with a new design. The RTO has some new glasses but am not too keen on the red ones so he will probably be reissued with a yellow pair soon.

M60 gunner (modified MJ m60)







RTO

Those are fantastic scope.That detail is amazing.How did you do the radio wires?

top notch as always scopeuk

what 60 is it ?

Scope,

That LBV is tight! And the stitching as always is exemplary. Now the M4 Carbine with all the goodies! Wicked stuff. It looks like you had a lot of fun! The mount on the top foward rail... Is that a PVS-14? Nightvision Device?

I really like those packs, and am impressed by your stitching. It takes an extreme amount of effort for me just to sew a button back on a shirt, so that makes your work all the more impressive

Hey Scope,

Nice to see the gunner posted finally mate,you know my thoughts on him,OUTSTANDING.

Now as for the RTO WOW.
You Are certainly the Maestro of CLoth kitted out 1/18th IMHO mate

Fantastic work mate & that Woodland camo is closer than the last one mate.

Excellent work & an Outstanding Pair to add to your SEAL team mate

Thanks guys am glad you like these two am rather proud of them myself
shadow83 the telephone wire is really easy to do find some really small wire and wrap it tightly around a pin take the pin out and you are left with the coils the good thing about it is that you can make it as long as you need.

blaster_e11 the M60 is a Marauder Inc one with Barrell and sights hollowed out, carry handle replaced, and bi-pod added.

MiG29K Glad you like the fig and the M4 i particularly like this one am trying to make all sorts of add ons for the M4s i got fed up of waiting for variants from BBI although i am still hoping!!

tmanthegreat Glad you like the packs and if you like them stay tuned as the other SEAL members will be carrying other designs.

Ja Thanks Mate i thought the Camo was an improvement you inspired me with the uniform you did for me and cant wait to see it in person so that i can study your technique As i have said to you i have weathered the first 2 and it covers the woodland camo a bit so it doesn't look as off you'll see what i mean when i get some group shots done.

Hey Scope Again mate Very impressed with these

Also I too love the mods to the weapons (sorry forgot to say that last night,was just about to goto bed).
Those sights are sweet,they custom made or taken from other weapons?

As for the woodland camo,as said it IS an improvement over the first & the secret I use for camo,is not to make the splodges too big,the black do in crow feet style "Y" with the occassional addition to them. Well you`ll see once you go & pick up the package that`s waiting for you
If you need more assistance LMK I just enjoy doing camo`s.

As said though Scope,I really want to see the first two all weathered up

Really looking forward to seeing ALL the team

Red Glad you like them

Ja Thanks for the tips and now i have the uniform you did in hand i am going to have to give it another go over the weekend.

The Add ons on the M-4 are all custom made from plastic styrene pieces.

No probs mate.

Glad to help with tips & moreso I enjoyed painting those uniform pieces & really glad as it`s with you now,you can see/feel & that you DO like them Hope it does help mate,though ask away if you want assistance

Thank`s also for answering on the sights you did. Very nice work knowing you "Knocked them up" (oooo errrrr).

LMK what you guys think

once again your customs are truely amazing,

the details are waesome and i love the last guy's bag !

Thanks blaster glad you like him his bag took as long as it took to do the rest of him but think it was worth it

Scope those are amazing.The detail you include is incredible.Good Job.Any idea what you are gonna do for your next project.

These are the dogs B**locks mate.

Thanks guys im glad you like the team here are a couple of group shots of the whole team:








shadow83 i have a number of other projects that i want to do including a jump ready Ranger, KSK troops, and of course i have a couple of Brits on the way too

Steel Bonnet glad you like the team Am going for as much detail as poss anyway hope you enjoy the group shots you can see some of the weathering and i think the camo looks quite good on the background

KICK ASS!!!!---TRUELY AMAZING SIR TRUELY AMAZING----I LOVE THE DIO PICS---I WANT/NEED TO SEE MORE!!!!---RED---

Hey Scope OUTSTANDING work mate as I`ve said

These Group shots in the field are just amazing

These guys look just like a 1/6th SEAL team & knowing they are 1/18th That`s a FANTASTIC feat to achieve mate

Truely Scope YOU are the MASTER of 1/18th cloth MilSpec

Thanks Red/Steel Bonnet am glad you like them i was really pleased with the results and the way they look in the back garden

RED am glad you like them that much and will be moving on to the next project soon

Steel Bonnet Thanks man i am aiming for that 1/6th scale look so glad you think they look like they are

these pics looks awesome, i can't believe they're 1/18. They have such a realistic feel. the weathering is dead on specially for the weapons


oh imho you'd better drop the old bbi m14

Thanks Blaster glad you like the pics and the weathering These guys will unfortunately have to keep the BBI M14 until we get a proper proportioned one with shaped handle from someone I know the new sniper has the M21 but would really like to see someone do a properly shaped M14. I have pictures of whole teams carrying M14's and just think they are so cool!

i actually made my own.take the small m14 assault rifle that came with one of the first weapons sets(close quarters i think and cut off the barrell,grip,clip and stock.then cut off the front end off of the m14 and attach.next cut the stock of the pump shotgun that came in the same set mentioned.just add the clip and paint and you should be good.the 3 i made came out good and match the rifle in dimensions almost perfectly.ill post a pic later.

here's the picture as promised.i havent finished detailing or fixing cut marks but you get the idea.

WOW Shadow they are Uber Sweet

So once these are done & finely tuned,are you casting them?? As i`d safely say your in for orders

If not these are certainly a great addition to a collection mate.

Outstanding work
