Very nicely done! What did you use for reference? I can't seem to find any uniforms that actually display the division patch in addition to the chevrons.

Great custom! What did you use for the body?

The expression on the face (approporiate more for combat I guess) makes it look like he either had some really bad beer, saw the world's ugliest chick walk into the bar, or both :P

That look actually reminds me of an Old Staff Sergeant I had after he had one of his Platoon leaders ask to be transfered from a Line Unit to a 3 shop (admin). Not a pretty sight! But this is an excellent Mod! I cant tell is he wearing Staff Sergeant or Gunnery Sergeant Strips?

Hey y'all--Thanks again-- T-MAN -- The body is some parts of some other 21stC troops,the top is from the GERMAN PARATROOPER CAPTAIN-- I just need to add a tie to cover over his KNIGHTS CROSS!!! The bottom is from a Marine--all I did was cover over his leggins with some wax and painted over it all!!!! LEX--The strips are the old style STAFF SGT.--- That is 3 up and 1 stright across (not 1 rocker style)!!!I think he looks like he just found out that the island girls aren't as pretty as the girls from the south!!!!---LOL---LOL---Thanks again---RED---

He looks great Red. How about making a couple of Shore Patrol guys to drag him back to base when he gets smashed at Madam Lao's Cantina.
