OIF Infantrymen

Posted by HeavyArty on Sunday, February 5, 2006 3:13 PM

Here are 5 OIF infantrymen that will go in a dio with the M2A2 ODS for a customer. I used the older DML ODS era figures and replaced their torsos with casts of modern, IBA-clad torsos. The 3ID patches and flags are hand painted. Camelbak emblem it a decal I made. Here they are.

All 5:

Some individual shots:

What do you think?

I think I've bumped into those guys in my travels...wait, those are 1/35 figures!?!?

Seriously, those are some excellent figures, HeavyArty. Now you'll have to try your hand at some OIF/OEF Marines in digi camo!

A day in the Corps is like a day on the farm; every meal is a banquet, every paycheck a fortune, every formation a parade... The Marine Corps is a department of the Navy? Yeah...The Men's Department.

Looking good HeavyArty! I really like how the Camelback came out.

Since you have such a good hand why don't you try shading and highlighting the figures' uniforms. I'd give them more depth. My 2 cents [2c]

Didn't see the completed dio, yet.

LOOKS GREAT! Thumbs Up [tup]

Regarding digi camos of all kind I was thinking to make decal sheets in the right scale to put onto the figures, just like VP did have the camo sheets for the Waffen-SS overcoats.
