CUSTOM SOLDIERS
By: GhillieOps


The first two are my attempts of a likeness of SSG Barnes from the movie "Platoon." I used a Junkyard Jack head with a shave, cav. pilot fatigues & XM-177 rifle. The next two pics are the PRU from Project Phoenix. Then I finished with an idea I copied from SEAL Team 3's entry at The 21st Century Toy Convention 2000. I bought a 9 inch creature from the black lagoon, cut off the feet, hands, and gills. Then cut the nose & jaw off a "hasbeen" head, and glued my new creature parts to this modified body. Painted the new parts green, dressed in worn 21st BDU's. Cut up the CAR-15 and added an ELCAN scope with a camo job.























Outstanding work there GhillieOps! Great job on using Junkyard Jack as Sgt. Barnes. Definitely one of the meanest Vietnam troopers I've seen to date. Special thanks for sending everything in and sharing it with us. It was all very cool! -- GL
