Persian Gulf War Lieutenant

Here is my take of a Lieutenant in the 82nd airborne during the build up. I went with a HT slim body because the Dragon pants are dam skinny and the only body it looked good on was the slim. The arms are too skinny on the slim so I switched them out with the SS S2 arms which was much easier than I thought it was going to be. So let me know what you think.

That looks really good. Good sculpt choice in my opinion. I also think the uniform fits really well. Overall, a great figure.

very nice!

Choco Chips! Great bash! Very very under represented in the 1/6th world...

Just a nit pick, his crossed rifles are upside down. The barrels of the rifles should be pointed inward, towards his head

Great job, as said, the headsculpt works really well in this bash.
All the gear, the uniform fit and your arm swap come together wonderfully

Very, very cool work!!

Really a great job on this figure. All the parts came together very well.

Very nice. Top notch.

Excellent bash and, again, great HS choice. That head is fast becoming a favourite of mine.

Nice to see a another figure from this period too, not that long ago but such a diffrence from today's military.

Wonderful job

Nice job mate, the good old days when the loadout was simple.

PitViper · #12 (**permalink**) 06-18-2010, 06:15

Excellent bash!

Well done. I love this theme.

Fantastic work!

Real nice setup.

NICE ! Is that Nicolas Cage? ^^

cool job

PemGreene · #18 (**permalink**) 06-18-2010, 10:29

Thanks everyone for the kind words.

Eagle_MP- I knew I would mess something up. Thanks for the info. Luckily I make the patch into a sticker so I just flipped around.

Baker707- Yes it is.

Cool. It's exactly what I would imagine if better companies would remake 21st Century Toys figures with high quality parts.

TheMilitaryPainter · #20 (**permalink**) 06-18-2010, 11:44

Very cool figure. Fine job.
1st Gulf War is strangely a beautiful unexplored theme by the best present days companies. The late and excellent Toy Soldier had plans I believe...
May be one day...

1ST CLASS work Josh. So very well done mate. Great to see the choc chip.

El Paso Trooper · #22 (**permalink**) 06-18-2010, 20:19

Refreshing to see a Gulf War I figure for a change. Excellent work!

dunk_guy01 · #23 (**permalink**) 06-18-2010, 20:45

clean, simple, but certainly not boring and very effective -- I want to see a PASGT vest version

cdn_rhino · #24 (**permalink**) 06-18-2010, 22:36

Awesome work Josh

1stSgt_Zottel · #25 (**permalink**) 06-19-2010, 06:16

This is really great!!!

No Pasgt vest?

pukingdog · #26 (**permalink**) 06-19-2010, 08:41

Gotta agree, an outstanding bashup, and a subject that could use more resources. With the recent apearance of a new set of DCUs, some of us have been hoping a new set of "pigeon sh*t" BDUs would be done.
The contraband on the shelf, I'm guessing the LT "confiscated" it?

jupiter 609 · #27 (**permalink**) 06-19-2010, 09:15

Simple but excellent

Hammer's Africaners · #28 (**permalink**) 06-19-2010, 09:39

Awesome....hammer

chunky · #29 (**permalink**) 07-10-2010, 19:13

cool i like the patches you added and the weathering on the m16

Brave Rifles · #30 (**permalink**) 07-10-2010, 19:56

Way cool GW1 bash!!

Another nitpick though, are the sleeves, and the manner in which they are rolled up. They are in the Marine style. The way the Army used to roll them was to have the cuff rolled over, covering the "white" inside fabric on the sleeve.

Other than that, he looks like he stepped out of a time machine!!
