Well there you go the final one completed to my Aliens Movie USCMs.

Figure:- Hot Toys Snap kit Hicks.

Head:- Shrunk McFarlane Hicks head.The headsculpt is with molded headset.So I added the mic to it & kept it like the movie & he can still wear his helmet too.

Added cloth to both wrists (White sweatband & Watch) to hide the HT hand-forearm gap. Done this also to others wearing these.

Redone the strap on the Motion tracker.It`s actually a cloth one with a longer length to hang like they did in the movie.

The helmet like all the other Marines,have added mics to them as well.

Well I hope you like this last figure to be done from the movie. really think this head makes the difference.

WOW, SB!
I have the 6-7in Hicks figure on my desk and yours is an almost complete match. Very well done!!

Do you have a way to add a tatoo to his arms?
Mine has:

WOW guys I think that has to be the ultimate compliment. That this 4" custom looks like the 6-7" Hicks. Thank`s very much indeed.

I`m really glad how well he & the others have turned out.

Razor,
I did try though didn`t look to great. I may try again though.

Again guys Thank`s very much.
