I want YOU for the Steel Brigade!

[onethousandmasks]

looks good, 1k!

Thank you.

Yeah, thats pretty sweet, 1KM! I really dig the fit of that sweater and those gloves are awesome! What color was the sweater originally?

Thanks. The sweater was gray/blue. It turned light yellow after I bleached it.

ZOMG! I haven't been in this thread in too long!!! Awesome SBs all over da place!

 

[screamingmetal]

That's the best looking and closest matching light blue sweater I've seen yet! Awesome job 1KM!


I'm a bit closer to finish on mine. I just need pants and a drop down holster to complete.
Though, I'd like to get some AK magazine pouches on mine, I can't find anything that works. The ones I was going to grab off of my Trooper aren't individual as I thought they were, so I decided to leave them as is.

It's gotten to the point that I think I'll buy a SCAR, and try to find M-4 black mag pouches instead.

 

[EVILFACE]

I like it!!

Oh and his tag is in the mail

 

[the angry orc]

I can't wait to show it, but he's been running around completely pants-less for the past two weeks, He needs to keep his dignity until then.
I've had my eye on the Black Hot Toy SCAR:

I've heard the best SCARs are Merit and Ace with Toy Soldier coming in third, I have no idea how nice the HT version is.


If anyone has the Soldier Story CIA Night Ops figure, how tall are the two taller medical pouches on his back? They might be my best chance for a single AK mag pouch.
I think one is 2 inches and the other a little over 2 inches tall.

Small update to my SB figure. His blue sweater stood out to much so I tried and olive green sweater similar to Beacheads, darker and no upper arm pockets, that I had in the parts bin. I think he blends much better with the other Joes now.

 

[the angry orc]

awesome, KD. he looks perfect (might be my favorite of all the 1st SB bashes). group shot is flippin' sweet.

 

[EVILFACE]

Looks good for a newb.

 

[FLOSI]

Looks good King.

 

[Buttmunch]

Looks good King. I think the Navy Blue version of that same sweater also works well if you decide you want his colors to reflect the original's more. But the green one does work and look quite good. It really makes Snake Eyes stand out (or fade into the darkness) much more now that the rest of the figures have such a similar palate.

That is a great set up by the way

 

[onethousandmasks]

SWEEEET. I never thought about a green sweater. He looks great next to the other Joes.

BTW, what holster do you have on Flint?

 

[King Darkness]

Thnx everyone, with the new sweater I think it definitely fits in with the Joes better.


@ onethousandmasks, its the stock holster, just painted green.

 

[Deak Starkiller]

Aw crap King, I like your sweater. AND I just upgrade mine too.
