Sweet!

 

[Meddatron]

That Rambo is fantastic! So is that Jeep. Fantastic paint and build! Love the case of Coke Cola! I am not sure they have enough firepower though.

2 questions:

1: Why does the M2 have two ammo cans feeding from opposite sides of the gun? Brass catcher, maybe?


2: Where did that PRC radio on the M2 gunner come from?

I'm pretty sure the radio is from a PTE set maybe.. I am 99% sure I have some of them laying around from back in the day.

 

[HUNMARINE]

Awsome work on the jeep!

No, I have a PTE PRC, and that'un ain't it. It could be a customized one, I guess. I think I see a China Lake grenade launcher, so there's definitely some custom work goin' on in there.

 

[NSA]

I thought maybe it was an alternate one.. I distinctly remember sawing off a back peg on it though, so maybe it was a Joe item? Or CORPS?

 

[K-Tiger]

Could be. The PTE packs have always used elastic straps as best as I can recall.

I sure as hell could use one, and I'd rather not give Build-a-Rama $13 for theirs.

 

[NSA]

Yeah, I've been trying to think where I would have gotten them. I'll try to dig around in the fodder bin later if I can find it and see if it has any other ID marks on it.

 

[darthdre758]

I have one that had elastic straps.

I say had cause I cut it off.

I coulda sworn it was PTE too.

 

[K-Tiger]

It's definitely not like this pack.

Hi buddy,do not know,not made by me.

 

[Darkwind01]

Sweet!!

 

[melvin]

Asked the maker and he said PRC radio is BBI and M2 gunner is DIY of 21st century platoon.

 

[K-Tiger]

Bbi. Makes sense. I'll never find it, then. Guess I'm going back to expensive-ass plan A.

 

[Keenan]

Beautiful work on everything.

It's a BBi radio that came in the red colored "Combat Gear" Elite Force accessory packs. I have one and I think it came in the pack with the tripod mounted TOW.

But being the stickler that you are, I wouldn't use it as a PRC-25 stand-in unless heavily modified. It is clearly a SINGCARS.

 

[K-Tiger]

Ugh, damn it. I'm trying to save money, not blow it all on resin bits!

Ah ha! Makes sense now. Wondered where I got it from.

I'm surprised you can't find those weapon sets.. they were like $5 for two at once point.

I got mine by accident from Small Joes when I started 1:18 a little over a year ago. Since it was a mistake (I ordered a WWII accessory pack) I asked if they wanted it back. They said no. It wasn't worth it to them. Now they don't have any.

 

[NSA]

Yeah I think I got them from Smalljoes as well. I ordered 2 or 3 sets thinking they were standard BBI weapons.. and while they're not terrible.. they're the cheesy BBI stuff.
