Sounds silly, but I just can't put combat shots of guys wearing berets so I made Flint into a Commando

Awful lot of black, but if that's what you're going for. And I don't think anyone has worn berets in combat since WWII.

Where's the CAR 15 from?

Yeah, went with Black because these guys will be used more in evening city dios. City dio pieces coming along a little slower than I wanted.

If you're talking about his weapon it's just the poc jungle Duke with surpressor cut off.

I'll be damned if it ain't. Still gonna build my own but that doesn't look too bad.

Do Special Forces guys ever wear Beret's?

Yup, but not in combat. Just like cav guys are authorized to wear Stetsons.

gotcha! I knew they wore them but I was referring to Combat but you answered my question anyway even though I didn't explain my question very well :)

another great custom. Did you just dremel off the beret to add the watch cap?

The BOPE, one of the coolest groups I've ever read about.

Yeah, currently they're executing a war of attrition with all of the drug cartels in rio, trying to make it secure for the 2016 Olympics. I wanted to do a re-imagined shockwave and make him apart of the BOPE, since being a Detroit cop kind of makes him somewhat unsuccessful.

As for the custom, since I haven't given my two cents, it looks awesome. I think painting figures black isn't as easy as it looks which is why I usually go dark charcoal grey and use black washes so the detail isn't lost. You have no idea how many people just slop black on a figure and call it done. So kudos for maintaining the details.

Sorry guys for not responding sooner.

My tools are crude. No dremel just utility knife. I cut it off then a little more fine carving.

Giga, thanks for the comment on keeping details. I went back and forth on what I wanted to do and since I plan to make more urban dios I wanted something commando black, but I agee on the charcoal with wash and dry brushing.

The mission case from Gun Runners is nice.

The Ratt looks good with this base fig blacking out the knit cap and rubbing a little charcoal on his face.
