Just got two sets a couple of days ago from Great Models Webstore. They look about the same quality as Dragon figures. I am looking forward to building them. They should come out nicely. They have some nice features, Camelback, knee pads, NVG clip on Kevlar, Pak 4 and front hand grip on M4, good detail on IBA vests, etc. I definetely recomend them.

Sure. You could start with the DML US Sniper Team figures. These work perfect for ODS through mid-late 90s snipers. If you want more modern, OIF, change out the torsos with those from either the DML or Trumpeter Modern USMC figures so they will have latest IBA body armor and MOLLE gear pouches.

DML US Sniper Team:

DML Modern USMC:

Trumpeter USMC Iraq:


All available at Great Models Webstore:
Snipers: http://www.greatmodels.com/cgi/display.cgi?item_num=dr3016
DML USMC: http://www.greatmodels.com/cgi/display.cgi?item_num=dr3027
Trump USMC: http://www.greatmodels.com/cgi/display.cgi?item_num=tp407

As a side note, you can make any of the ODS era DML modern US figures into modern OIF figures by swapping out the torsos and gear in the same manner as above. Also, VLS makes an OIF accessory set that includes two torsos with IBA as well that can be used.

Good luck.
