I want YOU for the Steel Brigade!

I'm really debating on whether or not to go oldschool or oldschool-updated.

 

[FLOSI]

Haven't even started looking... Might start this week though... What body are you guys planning on using?

I'm really debating on whether or not to go oldschool or oldschool-updated.

I'm anxious to see what look folks go for as far as classic/modern. The costume lends itself to both really easily I think.

Haven't even started looking... Might start this week though... What body are you guys planning on using?

It's designed for the Pro or TT, but the TT would make the scale a little off if all your Joes are on the Pro. Although I think the new Duke Pro. will be a little taller. In all honesty you could stick it on a Dragon body and have fine results as well.
I thin Seb suggested using Cobra Trooper boots so if you''re picking up the Sniper to part out or whatnot there's a solid application for the body as the gloves and boots would work well.

 

[King Darkness]

Looking good so far MANDO.

This rifle isn't exact, but it's inexpensive.

[King Darkness]

Picked up most everything, just need to get the sweater, pants and vest.

 

[EVILFACE]

Can't go wrong with the 3 above.

 

[King Darkness]

I hate using ebay, was hoping I could find them from one of the local online places like monkey,toyanxiety, wartoys, gijoeelite, goodstufftogo, redplanet.

 

[elvis1976]

FOr the blue sweater you will have a hard time finding it without using ebay.

 

[King Darkness]

Yeah, I'm finding that out

 

[thenammagazine]

Yeah, I'm finding that out

Actually, to get a military look, I'm contemplating on picking up an OD military sweater, using RIT to both remove the color and dye it blue.

 

[elvis1976]

Good luck. I once tried to bleached a sweater and it ended up bad looking.

But this blue one looks like a military sweater anyway

[King Darkness]

Not sure if I wanna go vest or shirt with sleeves removed....hmmmmmm...what to do

 

[elvis1976]

If you wanna go accurate go with the sleevless shirt. THe vest will be good for a more modern version.
I ordered both and will see i hands.

 

[thenammagazine]

The more I browse, the more I'm actually starting to like the idea of a PMC type of look.
