actionman2272 Kitbashes

These Fella's look amazing Dal. Like the sabotage a lot and that one fine looking Para where did you get those eyes? They would be great for a Ziggy Stardust kitbash :-)

Nice work Dal, I particularly like the bash you have used for your avatar - a great picture too!

many thanks mate, I never thought of putting strap on the slr, might give it a go now tho ! what is it you use ??

Sorry i missed this one, Dal, i don't have my email alerts turned on. I'm running this pc on bare bones ( skeleton - service ) for security reasons

I normally use flat, thin black elastic, which i get from shops that sell cotton, buttons, and clothes dye. Its very cheap stuff to buy, normally about £0.50p a meter length. Take a scrap piece of vam rifle elastic with you to get a match on - size/width. I've only ever seen black or white elastic on offer.

It's impossible to get the correct sage-green elastic now, i've tried everywhere, might have better luck online.
I've also used black elastic for vam helmets too, it can be superglued inside the helmet then pressed down with a small flat screwdriver whilst the glue sets.


Another great kitbash, Dal and well chosen pieces of kit .
The glass brown - eyes look good, i like the helmet graffiti " Kill 'em all "

Very nice my friend! Good to see you put the parts to good use.

Secret Mission to Spy Island, as it is known over here in AT form, has always been a favorite of mine. I have accumulated a ton of extras for that set, and will be posting the harder to find Mike Power Atomic Man variation on here soon for sale since I now have 2 many!

G R E E N E Y E S!!! I've gone green with jealousy!!! Super, super cool - top work!

Many thanks Mark !! I also really like the sabotage chap, I have to give the credit to joeman as he sent me the beginnings of the outfit . The glass eyes are from a company called Mosiac Eyes. Again reddog is the man who had the genius idea of changing the eyes.

Many thanks mate, the quote Kill 'Em All comes from the Metallica song of the same name

thanks also for the great advice on the replacement elastic, I shall definately be looking into that

Just catching up and I'm loving your latest bashes Dal. Para is my fave though! Kinda reminds of someone! Lol

Thanks ross, I am so glad you enjoyed them mate

Don't know how I missed these....

I love the Sabotage Bash... His flock is awesome... The Ging Para is amazing pretty cool

The Glass eyes look a lot better than the original ones I think

Cheers

Len

Many thanks Len, it is a very fiddly process, so I do not think I will be attempting these again !!

Could this be your avatar, Ross

Ross, your avatar vam looks like one of the early types of 'flockies' and very similar to one of my vams. I think the early type of flock was only used for about a year, until a new flocking method became available. This new flocking method allowed a more realistic looking - spiky crew-cut flock.

The early 'flockies' also seem to have a slightly different face and eyes to the usual common type 'flockies' . They're also quite "rare" ( a bit of Ebay slang slipping through there ) lol.
Take good care of him

great latest bashes ......quite inspiring

Thanks for the info Clive but alas... It's not my figure in my avatar. It's a pic I found online ages ago! Wish it was though.

I had a new hybrid arrive today and what with the light blonde/ brown eyed custom bp off to danthecoats HQ I have used my new hybrid as my Nam bash.

Very nice Dal, the Hybrids are becoming popular on here lol.

, thanks Richard , it's all skj fault !

Amazing set of bashes Dal. Well done.


The Nam looks fine. The M-16 is all black, where does it come from ?

Thanks Geert, I believe the rifle came from a sas set mate

I'd have to agree, EE on original body is a win, and some excellent kitbashes too!
