Private Military Contractor

This is something I've had in the works (in different forms here and there) for a while now. This is the last iteration now. I need to give the pants a wash or dry brush and he'll be somewhat done. The rifle is a stand in. I can't seem to find anything that jumps out at me right now.

[Fled74]

Yeah, he needs an overall wash & drybrush (he looks a little too clean), but I like the combination of parts.

 

[darthdre758]

Yeah....I was considering camo on the pants...but a color scheme wasn't jumping at me.

 

[Monkeywrench]

I'm liking it so far

 

[Fled74]

The color scheme is fine - just dirty him up a bit.

 

[bman]

Wow he is looking really good....which figures did you use to make him?

 

[MMorelock66]

Definitely dirty him up. Damn it, I need that headsculpt!

The base figure is Retaliation Beachhead with black hands from a Steel Brigade. Head is Retaliation Clutch with Renegades Tunnel Rat scarf. The vest is a mix of a Jesse cast (the blank slate one) and the lower portion of the Retaliation Beachhead vest.

I need to touch up some paint, and yes dirty him up some and I'll be happy.

look's great.

 

[MMorelock66]

I would dry brush a lighter color on those pants.

[darthdre758]

Is that an AK, KT? If so, that's kinda what I want to give him for a rifle. The mag looks like it's backwards on that though...but what do I know.

 

[K-Tiger]

AKM with the Romanian side-folding wire stock.. The orientation on the drum mag is correct.

 

[Obi-Shinobi]

It's a drum mag on the gun.

 

[darthdre758]

I see it now. Thanks both of you. I may look into something along those lines tonight.

 

[K-Tiger]

drum mag off a Marauder RPK, the Hasbro AKM you have now, piece of some other gun for the break and then all you have to concot is the wire stock, which isn't bad if you have a pin vice around.

 

[darthdre758]

And I DO have a pin vise...somewhere. I may make the stock stationary though. For as cool as a movable one would be, I don't really need it to do that for shelf display.

Thanks for the ideas on the rifle.

 

[K-Tiger]

It would probably be better to just leave the stock as-is.

 

[darthdre758]

True, but I have enough of that AKM laying around that if I destroy one or two...I'll be ok with it.

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

After the wash and/or drybrush, toss a dullcoat on that fella

Lookn good though mang

 

[darthdre758]

Ok. More paint. Modded a marauder AK. I feel like it needs something else though...

 

[Darkwind01]

Sweet!!!

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

I like what you did to the scarf...maybe give him a ruck or something?

 

[darthdre758]

A ruck would work too. I noticed I don't have a com on him at all...so I'll have to find something to work there too.

 

[Obi-Shinobi]

Need? A Wash, highlights, and a better AK.

Seriously though... camel pack, or some kind of water source.

Ridiculously overlooked items on customs.

 

[Fled74]

He looks great as he is, but a wash and drybrush would make him really pop.

 

[darthdre758]

I did drybrush his legs...but not the upper body...that probably wouldn't be a bad idea...
