You know Matt... looking at the barrel, I guess it is. It looked like a stubby AK when I first looked.

*Now I understand what KT meant by his Saiga comment. It's the whole over-sized thing. Nevermind me.

No worries, chief! I am far from a gun expert...but I am learning. :D I already shortened the barrel.

It's as close to a Saiga 12K as you're likely to get out of a rotund AK-47 sculpt. I would have left the barrel length as-is and found a break for it, I think.

I imagine you can. Just a scrap of plastic with a slightly larger diameter.

Those Hadji emplacements need some Dushkas!

Yea, I want to change out the factory machine gun to something that looks more realistic. Must admit I had to look up a Duska...any idea where I can find some in 1:18th scale? :D

Unfortunately no. It's one of many sorely needed items that MGR can't be bothered with.
Though I imagine you could do a "Rambo", and make a pair of M2s look like them.

Members of SOAR


Cobra Jungle and Desert Troops

I posted some headsculpts I painted on Jesse's FB page...not sure how "done" those figures are yet...Maria Hill and Arnold from Commando...still getting better at painting eyes, but no where near the level some are...

Awesome...cant wait to see how that tomahawk custom turns out

thanks! if anyone has the 4 wings in any condition and is willing to part with them for a reasonable price/trade. let me know. I don't care if they are broken...I am likely going to modify them anyway. Still need to figure out a rotor too...I may sacrifice my PTE blackhawk and use it for a burned out crashed hull in a dio....I only paid like $5 for it...and I now have a BBi Blackhawk anyway. :D

I should have all four wings, let me check at home.

My first attempt at a BBi / Joe mash up. Did this in like 20 minutes between sets of my workout this morning. :D

Way to go. I'm pissed. I used up all my joe arms already on previous bbi customs before the new release.

Errrrr

I think it's the boot portion. I'm pretty sick of drop leg holsters, too.

Yeah, the boots are odd looking with no laces...no room on his belt for a holster. :-D

Nope, that's generally officer or SpecOps shit. If you're down to a pistol (or worse, your knife/bayonet) shit has gone south.

Yeah, from what I've been told by an SF individual, the sidearm is their primary in a lot of situations. Obviously, that's b/c of the nature of their missions, which calls for stealth a lot of the times.

Thanks...I can always rely on you to supply good information on all things military.

Look, I just try to make sure people don't put flight helmets on their armored vehicle drivers and that their mag pouches go with their guns. ;)

That's one of my biggest pet peeves. I've given up trying to tell people that because they just don't listen. It's like talking to my 2 year old.

I went back and reworked many of my customs after I noticed the mag pouches I put on them could not hold the mags for the weapons I gave them. I keep doing searches and learning as much as I can for realism...I guess I like the SpecOps stuff so most of my figures have a sidearm as well. :D
