"These pictures show my current collection of six Ultimate Soldier figures. I have
done some custom work in these figures as you can notice. I have done a lot of camo painting
on their faces and even have dry brushed some of the BDUs to give them a more realistic
weathered look. Even the weapons got some paint job and modifications. For the M16,
the magazine clips have been painted black. I even made a laser sight for the grenade
launcher and attached scopes in a way to make them look like the
latest Colt M4 (the smaller scopes are from parts of a butterfly syringe from the
hospital - unused of course :). They are not very visible from these pictures but maybe
later on I can send you some better shots once I get a better camera. The bigger night
scope was from the binocular patterened after some tips of fellow action figure
enthusiasts on your site.
The figure sporting the patrol cap also got some modified gloves. What I did here was
wrap gauze tape around his hands and painted it green and some shadowing. I also
included a shot of him in a diorama, which actually turned out to be quite good, so I'll
be doing more shots of this later (but no more diorama making)." -- Silent Death
