New member to the squad



His name is Richard and he's a trainee as you can see by the lack of gear he has. Im sure you'll welcome him to ST8.

New gear for the squad





Finally it arrived, the 1/6 scale Inflatable raft its supposed to be modeled after the C.A.R (Combat Assault Raft) used by the Navy Seals. It come with four oars and a stow bag. I have to say the thing is pretty huge, the one problem I have is that the valve the you inflate it through wont stay closed. If you know of a way to fix that please let me know thanks.

My second attempt (much better)




Well I took another stab at it and Im pretty happy with the results....what do you think. Quite a change from the first picture I took huh, see what a little gear does for you. Here are some different angle shots of Matt that I took last night. I purchased a gear package from Three Zero which includes a UDT vest, two pairs of Flex cuffs, Boots, Harness, Carabiner, Flight suit, Granade pouch with 2 Granades, Belt, Gas mask and pouch, Bulletproof vest, Tactical vest, Jumpsuit, Gloves, Balaclava, Helment with communications radio, metal Colt .45 with holster. metal MP5 varient and Shotgun,(Not everything mentioned can be seen or is used).

My first attempt


Dont bust a gut laughing at my first attemp at a custom figure. What I wanted was a Mercenary looking kind of chracter, you know the knid with the Polo shirt, fatigues and the M16. You kind of get what Im looking for in this pic but its not quite there yet.

Welcome to Custom Action Figures

Welcome to my 1/6 scale custom action figures blog, basically this blog will be about customizing 1/6 scale action figures and making them more realistic. Like most in 1/6 customizing I was introduced to this hobby by getting a 12" GI Joe. As time moves on you want more realism out of you action figure and you start to use custom parts that you build or get from customizers. Since I dont customize in the true since of the word you'll see stuff from other customizer on of the shelf action figures.
