                        Modern (90s) US Figures
                        Posted by Anonymous on Monday, February 26, 2007 3:21 PM

                        I am looking for a kit/set of figures for a diorama for an artillery piece.  The figures I am needing are US Army, but without all of the equipment (Helmet, mask-on-hip, T-shirts only) because they will be unloading an ammo truck in the heat.

                        Any recommendations on a good set of figures for this?

                        I don't really know of any modern figures stripped down to their t-shirts.  You will probably have to modify some existing figures by sanding their shirts and LBEs down.

                        Good luck.

                        I believe Verlinden had or has a few figs that were Veitnam vintage in tank tops and such. These would require modification but may be a starting point for you.

                        Tamiya also has British artillery crew in North Africa during WWII without shirts as well.

                        I think there were one or two torsos with just T-shirt on that came from Academy's M113A2's equipment/figures sprue.  Ask around the armor guys and some might just have them in their spare boxes.

                        Forgot about the Academy M113A2 torso.  It does come with one torso in a short sleeve t-shirt and a lower body without a shirt over the pants, including belt loops, buckle, etc.
