Airtight in Combat Bio's

[Rick]

I painted with Tamiya Dark Yellow, Black wash and brown dry brush.

I left the connection thing on the shoulder that always seems to rub paint off the natural yellow. Figured, why fight it, it can be an indication of a bio grade suit.

Thnnks guys, Unclassified; those are the knee pads that came with the Our Wars figures.

i remember when they were coming out, but didnt know they ever came out. where do you buy em , and how much are they? how usefull are they parts for joes?

 

[Rick]

foxhole still has them. look under misc. The vests are awesome as well as the helmets and packs. look at most of my customs recently and you will see alot of the accessories. Head sculpts are good for troop building as they fit perfectly on JOES and have the modern GI look with shades.

Great Job Rick!!

I really dig the 30th Airtight but I must say your custom puts him to shame

Whats a Combat Bio?

 

[K-Tiger]

I think he means NBC suit.

 

[Rick]

I think he means NBC suit.

Thanks KT, what would that be? Nuclear, bioharard containment suit? How close was I?

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

The weathering looks fabulous!...even added it nice and subtle to the canister...

 

[K-Tiger]

Thanks KT, what would that be? Nuclear, bioharard containment suit? How close was I?

Nuclear, Biological, Chemical.

Technically (at least according to Wikipedia) that's antiquated nomenclature. They're now called CBRN (Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear.)

 

[xhairs]

Makes me sad I only have one Airtight and I don't dare customize him.

Rick it's always a treat to see your grounded work.
