I have a dio idea from my last trip to Qatar. I've been wanting to do a Dio for a long time, but never had an idea for one. While I was in the desert last year, I had my idea, but have run into some problems. First, the figures. We are civil engineers in the USAF, and at the time (Operation Enduring Freedom) the threat was low, so I need figures with no flak vests and helmets. 2nd, we are REDHORSE, my unit wears a baseball style cap. Heads with ball caps are a must, it's what sets us apart from the other AF Squadrons. And finally, we never wore DCU blouses on the job site, just T-shirts. This poses an extremely difficult obstacle to getting the realism for the figures. I have scoured the net for months. Can anyone help this picky newbie?
I suppose I could live with the DCU shirts on, but flak vests and web gear would have to be an add-on in the figure kit. I did the Dragon kit w/ fallschirmjagers and cannon, and their bandoliers were put on over the uniforms. There is also the option of "shaving" the top shirt down to look like a tee, but it sounds tough, has anyone tried this?
Thanks for any help, and if I ever get this fiasco started, I'll be posting photos as I go, and a background story of the scene.
