...what did you use for the sidewalk and curb in those pictures? it looks perfect!

you are making my day brighter and brighter!

Glad to help out.  Good luck with the figures.

Heavy - you are making my day brighter and brighter!  You see, I needed to buy the ODS 82nd Abn kit for the bush-hats (another item I need plenty of - heads in bush hats or loose bush hats to plop onto heads).  So now I can use their in-combat arms and legs for the IBA torsos.  (I never really tried to kitbash the DML figs, so I didn't know they'd work well or not).

Ian, hijack away, because *I* wanna know, too!!

HeavyArty - that DML kit makes me happy!  Now, if only they'd make another kit in more combat-oriented poses.

That is the beauty of the DML figures.  You can take the torsos off the above set and swap them out with any of the older DML figure sets to get almost any position you want.  Their older (ODS-era) sets come in a bunch of in-combat poses that look great when transformed into IBA-clad troopers.  I used IBA torsos on older DML figures in the below pics on a 3ID OIF dio.  You can also use the Trumpeter torsos on older DML figures as well.  The Trumpeter figures are only really good for their IBA torsos and weapons anyways.  The rest of them are pretty bad.

More pics here.

Trumpeter also have a set of modern US Marines (kit# 407) wearing IBA (some with hydration packs)

Unfortunately, their facial expressions are somewhat distressed...

Dragon's Modern US Marines (kit #3027) are also wearing IBA (MOLLE) vests.  They are pretty good figures and represent modern troopers pretty well.

Most resin companies such as Blast, Verlinden, Warriors, Alpine, etc. have modern troopers wearing IBA as well.

There are Resin figures with Intercepter vests, which are MOLLE gear compatible.  I believe Verlinden Production has those figures.  These are U.S. Figures.
