CUSTOMIZED NVA
By: OneZeroSOG


1) figure: Dragon "Ray"

2) uniform: TUS NVA Regular uniform, bleached Khaki, all snaps removed, and Cotswold brown buttons added. All stress points tacked down at areas where buttons would be closed, etc.

3) Pith helmet: TUS NVA Regular, scooped out to accomodate larger headsculpt. Painted dark green inside as per many originals, painted a more appropriate green color on outside.

4) Sandals: TUS VC Sandals, all straps cut off, holes drilled, and replacement straps put in proper "system" as the TUS ones are wrong in the back!

The belt is scratch made. I used a TUS web belt--took off all hardware. Made brass buckle from brass stock from hobby store, and brass loops for buckle from brass rods from same source. Steel/chromed keepers are floral wire.

I eventually want to add beltloops to the pants, and a corfram trouser belt. I also want to add an NVA squared neck with button shoulder undershirt at some point and and appropriate weapon and field gear. More to come!













Very very cool NVA you have put together OneZeroSOG without a doubt. I love him. I can't wait to see him when you get him totally finished. Thanks for the nice custom NVA upgrade tips buddy. A sharp salute to you for sending these in and sharing them with us. -- GL
