A recent viewing of one of my all time favourite films, From Here To Eternity, inspired a couple of kitbashes.

This first guy was inspired by Burt Lancaster's character in the film...

The shirt and pants are 3rd Son Books' replicas of GI Joe Adventure Team items and the tie is by Cotswold...

Boots are standard Hasbro/Palitoy issue...

Hat and belt are GI Joe Classic Collection kit. All modelled on a Walmart 45th Joe.....

This guy was inspired by the combat scenes in the film. I had already attempted a kitbash of a US Army uniform from this era, but using the standard olive green Action Soldier fatigues. It was OK, but these tan coloured fatigues are more authentic...

Shirt and pants are again by 3rd Son Books and the helmet is from the GI Joe Collectors' Club Desert Jeep Driver figure...

Springfield Rifle, M1905 bayonet and scabbard are by Cotswold and the canteen and cover are from the Action Man Jungle Explorer set...

Ammo belt is from the GI Joe Combat Field Jacket set and the shoulder bag is of unknown origin (anyone know?)...

Kitbash:  From Here To Eternity 004_zps8btatm92

Gaiters and boots are GI Joe Classic Collection kit. All modelled on a Timeless Collection Joe...

Kitbash:  From Here To Eternity 006_zps2vepghu7

Note the interesting variation in the Timeless Joe. Black hair but with brown eyes instead of blue...
