PostSubject: Green Beret Roll Call   Green Beret Roll Call Icon_minitimeThu Feb 28, 2013 8:55 pm

Recently I've added a few more Green Berets to my ranks so I thought it was time to bring my group shots of my platoon up to date.

First of the GI Joe and Action Man variations of the Soldiers of the World/Soldiers of the Century Green Beret set...

Green Beret Roll Call IMG_9386

Main differences are boot colours and the Action Man set comes with a Silver Star medal...

Green Beret Roll Call IMG_9387

Next up my kitbash of a GB Communications guy kitted out for jungle patrol...

Green Beret Roll Call IMG_9388

The radio is from the GI Joe Marine Communications set...

Green Beret Roll Call IMG_9389

Another 'bash this time of a GB with a flame thrower. This was also an attempt to make the standard GB uniform look more combat ready as it always struck me as being a very formal looking uniform...

Green Beret Roll Call IMG_9390

If you're going to attempt this look with your GB, be warned - the sleeves were a total bee-atch to roll up. A real nightmare...

Green Beret Roll Call IMG_9391

My latest kitbash of a GB Field Training Exercise soldier which was inspired by the Action Man Field Training Exercise set...

Green Beret Roll Call IMG_9392

The jumpsuit is a Geyperman piece and the scabbard holding the knife is by Cotswold, the only non "in house" piece I have used in the 'bashes...

Green Beret Roll Call IMG_9393

This is the Sears & Roebuck Green Beret Outpost store exclusive set that first put the Green Berets in jungle camouflage uniforms, a look that I actually prefer to the SOTW/SOTC version...

Green Beret Roll Call SearsGreenBeretOutpostBox

Green Beret Roll Call SearsGreenBeretOutpost

My "Sears" GBs...

Green Beret Roll Call IMG_9394

I think this was probably the best of the store exclusive sets of the 1960s...

Green Beret Roll Call IMG_9395

I was so taken with the look of the above set that it was the inspiration for me to kitbash a whole platoon of GBs in camo fatigues. First up a GB with flame thrower...

Green Beret Roll Call IMG_9396

The flame thrower comes from the Australian Jungle Fighter SOTW/SOTC set...

Green Beret Roll Call IMG_9397

Next, a GB Sentry...

Green Beret Roll Call IMG_9398

The poncho is from the Marine Communications set...

Green Beret Roll Call IMG_9399

A Heavy Weapons GB using the flak vest from Heavy Weapons set...

Green Beret Roll Call IMG_9402

Grenade launcher comes from the Rifle Rack card...

Green Beret Roll Call IMG_9401

Another Communications GB, this time with a field telephone...

Green Beret Roll Call IMG_9403

The field telephone, map case and binoculars come. once again from the Marine Communications set. If you've been keeping track that's three of these 'bashes have used kit from the Marine Communication set and have used every piece from the set except for the carbine...

Green Beret Roll Call IMG_9404

Finally a GB Commanding Officer...

Green Beret Roll Call IMG_9405

This is the only one of the camo 'bashes to use the GB scarf, which along with the modification I made to the collar/lapels of the shirt gives him that "officer" look...

Green Beret Roll Call IMG_9406

The troops line up...

Green Beret Roll Call IMG_9381

Green Beret Roll Call IMG_9382

Green Beret Roll Call IMG_9385

Green Beret Roll Call IMG_9384

Green Beret Roll Call IMG_9383

That makes twelve Green Berets to date. Ideas for future variations gratefully received! Smile

Looks like you've got yourself an A-Team, Jimmy!








Just to let you know there is a vintage GI Joe Green Beret variant. I'll be waiting to see your version of it. Very Happy

Yes, G.I.Joe is wearing standard fatigues with a green beret. I bet any kid who got this variation felt ripped off! lol!

Ah but did you know that Sgt Barry Sadlers son is a G.I. Joe Collector called Thor Sadler affraid,  an ancient denizen of the old alt.toys.goe newsgroup aka The Sandbox! He is also in the Army and last time I was in regular touch with him he was a captain although I hear he has been promoted now.

Len if you're gonna sit down and watch a load of War Movies you'll have to start with The Duke in the Green Berets! It's a no brainer a bit like Status Quo opening Live Aid with Rocking All Over The World there just isn't any other sensible option!Very Happy

Great Green Beret troops,Pauley.Smile 

For me,the camo uni looks the most 'combat-ready'.
