American Troops - The Marines

Post by Mr. Football » Sat Nov 20, 2004 1:29 am

I'd love to see a rendition of these uniforms done in 1/6 or 1/18. Our boys are over there enduring hell, kicking ass in a way not seen since WWII. Here's a great pic. God love'em.

These are an attempt at those new USMC unis:

Pretty good, not quite subtle enough on the camo.

What I think we need is a darn standard Army infantrymen. I can't belive we've never gotten any. 21st threatened one a while back but didn't release him. Simple Desert Uni w/ woodland armor, or something like that. They need to pour out of my OIF M2.

You can easily kitbash a figure like that in 1/6 with all the equipment and uniforms BBI and Dragon has made in the past couple of years.

As for 1/18, I think they needed to exaggerate the camo, especially the MARPAT, because in a scale that small, you could hardly see the camo pattern.
