Post by lsc1002 » Tue Jul 18, 2006 6:47 pm

Here is the first of my Desert Rat figures he needs a little paint touch up but could not wait to share so I wanted to put him on now. I hope you guys like him.

He looks like he could take on Rommel all by himself!

Yeah that's sweet, I noticed he has S1 articulation, what parts did you use? and where did find that tommy gun, that is awsome (did you customize it?)
Nice job!

Wow! :D

Very cool overall and neat concept putting a marine head inside the Sahara headdress. (Didn't know it was removable?) Or did you just do a face transplant?

Great weathering btw!

Thanks for the compliments, I am glad you guys like him.


Grunt, The turbans do come off the Sahara figures and fits pretty well on other figures. other then the turbans I did not like the Sahara figures that much. With that said there is a really nice Indiana Jones custom figure created out of Sahara parts by a board member that is really nice.

Mediump, The body is the old VC figure with P51 feet. The Tommy gun is from “Marauder Gun Runners” I have a few extra if you want one PM me your address and I will drop one in the mail for you.

Thanks again guys

Hey cool! The Turban does come off really easily. I had assumed they were moulded pieces... The Dirk Pitt head, bald & earless, could potentially be used for some sort of custom alien figure 8)
