Israeli Gaza Incursion uniforms and gear ?

Usmcrtop · #1 (**permalink**) 01-04-2009, 12:42

Has anybody tried to do the Israeli soldiers in the current invasion ?? How much of Armoury's old figures can be used ? The Vest looks familiar but I don't know what a close 1/6th equivalent would be .

I was wondering the same thing watching the news today.

Those cloths would be helmet camo cover. It breaks helmet outline which would be more effective than regular helmet covers.

There are several members here done really cool modern IDF bashes using Armory gear and some customs. Maybe you will get some results by searching.

How much of Armoury's old figures can be used ? you could used all; there. are tow figures you could used.
The Vest looks familiar but I don't know what a close 1/6th equivalent would be . the vest that is the most similar to the pic is the one IDF Givati recon let me look for a picture.

(arms folded across chest, speaking with face set in stoic manner) "The one called viper29 speaks the truth".

At the end of 08, we had several situations like this. More warnings than usual were posted, and much slack was deployed, "...what with Christmas coming on and all..."

The holidays are over. It's a new year. You get one chance to make good, and then it's the brig for you. Those of you who have chosen to go political on this, consider the shot having hissed across your bows.

We all have our feelings and opinions, I had a particularly energetic discussion with an old friend on Saturday. That was out in the world. In here, that stuff gets parked at the front gate.

This kitbash is inspired partly by Porkins73's earlier IDF bash... I was just so impressed by his fine touches that I had to do a bash too....

Another reason was due to the discussion I had with the guys over at BBICN, the Chinese 1/6 forum... The main features I wanted to highlight to them were the Miznefet, the M4, the customised vest, dyed brownish BDU, and making the pants look roomier...

Pose 1: Approaching the terrorist's house

More poses coming soon... All comments and criticism greatly welcome... just be gentle...

Thanx...

I followed this pic for the chin strap not knowing that they put the red clip on the wrong side

The bashes above me are awesome. I have the Armoury stuff and I find their pants to be too tight. I'm wondering if they used different pants. Great work all around.

If you were the one that started talking about politics you started talking about it in the wrong place. This is a site for action figures not politics.

My bad then

Achtung! · #12 (**permalink**) 01-05-2009, 06:49

I never started "talking about politics"--that's a damn lie. It's just that some helpful advice was taken completely the wrong way (sniff).

fosing · #13 (**permalink**) 01-05-2009, 06:51

just want to ask what's the first figure on the left's firearm?

wink88 · #14 (**permalink**) 01-05-2009, 07:00

I believe that's the Tavor. Mack showed it on Futureweapons.

cool, thank you for that. i know i've seen that for somewhere before.

Usmcrtop · #16 (**permalink**) 01-05-2009, 11:09

I can see that Armoury's helmet straps need extensive re-working- still anybody have recommendations for the vest ?

PemGreene · #17 (**permalink**) 01-05-2009, 12:11

Argus- I used the Nam pants for the two male figures in the first photot. I transplanted the cargo pockets and made the inseam a little tighter to make tighter pants.

With a sight like that he could shoot Bin Laden in Pakistan!

viper29 · #20 (**permalink**) 01-05-2009, 22:00

We have Thermal sights about that size we put on m4's and m240's. I dont know what model they use but its probably along the same lines as a PAS 13

major.rod · #21 (**permalink**) 01-05-2009, 22:13

It was a BAD joke Viper. I spent the last five years of my career at the Battle Lab at Ft. Benning modeling the thermal sights being used and to be used by you in the future. Thanks though... : )

The IDF's Mitznefet floppy helmet cover reminds me of the Sardauker in the Sci Fi Channel Dune series.

Wow, great IDF figures, I really wish to see more dioramas, of early 80's, 90's and today's IDF, would be great.
