ZeroDelta´s thread of amazing awesomeness or something

So, people kept bugging me to show off my collection, so here are some photos of what I have.

These are very old photos, a lot of the figures are now in storage.

You can tell that these are old, because the Marine RTO still has a 21C M16, with was swapped out with a Dragon one later.

I also build NAM Us Army as you can see

As you guys can see, I have a board range of subjects when it comes to figures:

Yes, I kitbashed another  Terry Crews as you can see, but with a more modern loadout:

And finally, my most recent kit bashes, the Bad Guys:

\most impressive zero! You have a great selection of figures. Thanks for sharing the pics . I'm guessing, this is where we see all the cool upgrades and new stuff?

Yes, I hope to post more as things go on and show off everything else I have, like the various 1:6 weapons and gear and any new kitbash or finished figure. All the figures that are still in boxes are not on here, yet.

Great post ZD , I would like to see closer pics you have of the Russian figure in the fur hat . Nice to see you posting photos .

It’s brilliant to see the figures that are already out on display. Looking forward to seeing the new figures when you have opened them and then displayed them. Thanks so much for taking pictures, see members collection is one of the things is best about the forum.

Thanks for posting these ZD, nice to see your great looking figures.

So, some updates on my collection:

There you go, if there are any questions, let me know.

I'm so pleased to see that you've added to your collection thread, zero. You really do have some amazing figures and kit. Thanks for taking the time to share it here with us .

It’s brilliant to see more of your figures Zero.

What a fantastic assortment of highly detailed figures!

Your team is well equipped and ready for adventures both historically realistic and fantasy-pop-culture based! I really enjoy seeing the wide variety of figures in your collection!

The Workbench of a Madman setting is fantastic! Work-space goals, right there! Super cool figs, and all manner of supplies and accessories for putting together new figs or equipping existing figures for different roles or tasks!

That "Nathan Drake" fig looks really good!

And man oh man, that's a serious collection of heavy weapons!

More great looking figures, the detail on their kit is very nice! They all look to be Special Ops.

I see you have a Sideshow Beachhead? Cool, that's one of my favorite characters in the Joe line!

Yep, thats Sideshow Beachhead, have to unbox him still.

Your room looks most interesting and so much fun !

So, I recently managed to put together the Sideshow Duke and Stalker figures, I updated them by giving them body armor vests, radios and Stalker also got some knee pads for good measure.

let me know what you guys think.

Impressive figures, recognizable as being based on the "GI Joe" comics and cartoon characters, but much more realistic. Your additions to the gear make them look even more up to date.

The knee pads on Stalker look really good. Now I find it difficult to visualize the figure looking complete without the knee pads.

Ahhh, Stalker, another one of my favorite characters

They look great ZD.

The Joe's look awesome zero!

My latest kitbash, Ming aka The Yellow Shadow

He came out great zero! Looking forward to learning more about him as time goes on.

Glad you like him

They look great! Nothing wrong with older figures; it was 21st, DML and BBi that got me into 1/6 in the late 1990s and early 2000s. I think they look accurate still (some of the modern figures look too realistic).

So, guys, I need your opinion on something, about some projects I am working on. As you read elsewhere, I want to kitbash some troopers for the various bad guy organizations I have thought up. First thing, I am currently working on, are Cobra Troopers, but I decided to put them in green uniforms, instead of Blue, but then again, I came across this artwork:






The artist gave them variants of German Erbsenmuster, now, the problem with that is, that I already wanted to use these for my Karotechia/Hydra Troopers, as you have already seen (gave them WWII Camo smocks).

So, my question here is, what you guys think, or if you have an alternate idea for uniforms, let me know, because the main problem here is, that there simply are not enough alternative uniforms out there, that come in camo pattern that are not woodland, multicam or similar. There are those uniforms with those At-TACS style patterns that come with the various new Russian figures, but they are not cheap at the slightest and I rather use them for more elite troops like the Vipers or the Python Patrol, while the WWII camo goes to the Nazis, which makes sense.

I suggest you have a look at these. They have 4 sets at Monkey Depot right now.

Also, bear in mind that there are many countries that don't produce their own camouflage patterns and simply use cloth or entire uniforms supplied by other countries with serious manufacturing capabilities. The many countries uses a variant of British DPM camo, for instance.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disruptive_Pattern_Material

Many used or still use French Lizard pattern camo or a variant, not that you will easily find that in 1/6 scale.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lizard_(camouflage)

Tons of countries and or non-state actors wear US woodland pattern or a variant thereof.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._Woodland

My point is, that a criminal organization is likely to use something that is commercially available and probably used by many other state and / or non-state actors. These days, all the digital patterns kind of resemble each other anyway.

Ah, thanks Gary. I have placed and order at Monkey Depot for 2 of those uniforms and got 2 more from E-Bay. Interesting that you mention DPM, because one of the ideas that I had, was to do a PMC Group that uses mainly DPM pattern camo, wanted to call it "Valkyrie Group" or something.

Also, I do know where to get French lizard Camo uniforms, funnily enough, its the French shop I buy a lot from, that carries those. I had the idea to use them for some fictional nation army, of some island state, called Tumbago or the fictional African Nation from Jagged Alliance 3, Grand Chien.

I just sometimes there was more variety in the camo and someone would do some fictional camo pattern uniforms, like Hexcam and similar. A lot of the smaller scale figs have those, why not 1:6?

Again, thank you, Gary.

The French para uniforms are appropriate for many African countries, real or imagined, Israel, Syria in the 1960's, as well as Congo mercenaries.  Speaking of Congo mercenaries, I'd love to see some Belgian brush stroke camo smocks.  Not gonna happen, but it would be cool.


Also, this Adolf Galland head sculpt might make a pretty decent Colonel Olrik.
