marauder wave 6?

[K-Tiger]

I plan on it, too. Sounds like it's some time off, though. I don't think he knows whether he's having them made or casting them himself.

 

[fogger1138]

If/when he figures it out, let us know.

Will do. Hey, you find those TOW pods?


Here's what he's got dubbed as "wave one".

....shit, I forgot to look. I think I still have to check on Viper boots for you too.

Some decent weapons there.

 

[NSA]

I want that Galil and UMP.. and AKS.. and M14.. and well, everything except the damn MP5.

 

[K-Tiger]

I'd probably use everything but the Euro SMGs and the G36.

Optimally one folded stock AKS-74U, one unfolded, on PSG 12 and 2-3 each M14s and FALS.

 

[Midget]

I can pretty much think of a use for all of 'em. They look nice. Very nice. I'll need 100 FALs to replace all the current weapons my toys have. ALL of them.

 

[Fled74]

The only ones I want from the new Marauder series are the AA-12, the CheyTac, and the Glock with the extended mag.

 

[K-Tiger]

Falcone is trying to secure production funds, then after that a 3-4 month turnaround on production. A ways out, but it never hurts to another source for 1:18 firearms.

 

[fogger1138]

I wonder if Kickstarter might be useful to him?

 

[K-Tiger]

I think someone mentioned it. He said he was getting a little from family and was gonna try at the bank for a loan.

Said he didn't need much, so here's hoping he gets things off the ground.

 

[fogger1138]

Cool, as long as he's aware of it.

 

[Cloud Strife]

Definitely getting AA12's for Flint and Falcon. I'm wanting to give Flint and Falcon updated looks. Anyone have suggestions for their gear and overall designs (i.e. reference pics)?

 

[darthdre758]

Wry had a picture of Flint and LJ that he had drawn...

We generally don't have the same design tastes, but I'm throwing out here 3-4 Red Star PPSh-41 drum mag pouches on whatever LBV you go with.

 

[Cloud Strife]

Yeah, but you don't see much of Flint.

I was actually thinking of giving them pouches like the one pictured on the back of the vest:

Is that what you're talking about?

[Cloud Strife]

So, you think that pouch design could be used to store ammo drums for an AA-12? I'm not questioning your choice, just an honest inquiry, as I'm not the most knowledgeable when it comes to this stuff.

 

[K-Tiger]

I wouldn't have brought it up if I didn't think so.

Of course, it'll depend on how large the drum on the AA-12 is if it'll be convincing or not.

 

[darthdre758]

That's a drum pouch!?

All this time I thought it was a canteen.

Huh.

 

[K-Tiger]

Yup, drum pouch.

 

[darthdre758]

Again...huh.

 

[Cloud Strife]

I wouldn't have brought it up if I didn't think so.

True.

Of course, it'll depend on how large the drum on the AA-12 is if it'll be convincing or not.

That's why I was checking to make sure, but I suppose it would be hard for anyone except for someone at Marauder to know the size comparison between the 2.

 

[K-Tiger]

Should work.


I need to hit up Midget for those two 21st Remington/Winchesters. I have a feeling that in the customizing world that the AA-12 is about to become the M82/M107 of shotguns.

 

[Cloud Strife]

So, besides a sidearm, what other kind of gear would be advantageous for a soldier carrying a shotgun?

 

[K-Tiger]

Knife.

Don't fall into GTA Syndrome.

 

[Cloud Strife]

Knife.

Don't fall into GTA Syndrome.

What's GTA Syndrome?

 

[K-Tiger]

Packing a figure with a dozen weapons.

People that bitch about a figure not being able to hold every piece of kit it comes with generally have it.

 

[Cloud Strife]

lol... Yeah, I won't be doing that. I just figured a shotgun, sidearm, ammo pouches, knife and maybe a few 'nades.

 

[K-Tiger]

Sounds sensible.

 

[darthdre758]

Mostly think about what you would carry if you went...wherever your custom would. If you can't carry it comfortably...the figure doesn't need it either.

 

[Cloud Strife]

Sounds like a good rule of thumb.

 

[K-Tiger]

Good rule of thumb. Also helps to research their role.

I did it out of curiosity sake for a Vietnam-era grenadier and it gave me some ideas.

 

[darthdre758]

I've been doing it a lot more for my recent customs. Lots of reference pictures, and websites. If you don't know...ask.

 

[K-Tiger]

Indeed. NEVER hurts to ask.

 

[darthdre758]

I asked Midget a bunch of questions. He was more than happy (I'm guessing..) to answer.

 

[K-Tiger]

We try to be at least somewhat helpful!

 

[Cloud Strife]

This group has definitely helped me out since I became a member at this forum.

 

[darthdre758]

They do that...time to time...

 

[K-Tiger]

Looking like a late April release for this wave.
