Tomd Excellent work once again mate.

I`ve yet to get these figures but i`m certainly impressed with these improved ones.

So if i see right,the figure is Joe Crosshairs,with Dusty acc`s,HALO Rig & Head?

That right?

If yes how easy does the HALO rig come off the original dusty figure?

A Rundown on how would be nice mate.

Again Excellent work

It was not too hard to take the DT halo figures apart. The head, arms, parachute and rucksack are seperate pieces glued on. I used a #11 blade to cut the harness off, DT figures use a soft plastic.

I used the Crosshairs vest and glued the equipment on.

I took a sewing pin, cut it down to about 1/4" and stuck it in the parachute, I used white thread to suspend them from my workbench shelf. I have been thinking about this project for about 6 months. I bought the HALO's when they first came out.

My big plan is to make a display in my basement of the team jumping out the back of my Ch46.

Thank's out to my Brother who is Halo qualified and is about to retire from the US Army, he was the insparation for this project..

Thank`s Tomd for the rundown hon this mate

I`ll have to get myself some of these figures methinks.

The planed display sounds awesome mate,though why not use the Chap mei V-22 Osprey that`s out as jump aircraft?

Also you done a special one for your Brother? Sounds like he deserves one for serving.
