Anyone have a 1/6 Paratrooper figure?

Post by grim_marmazet »

Im currently working on a 101st Airborne paratrooper figure, and was wondering if anyone else has some? Im basing mine off of the Albert Ross DiD figure (probably one of the best paratrooper figures out there). Im trying to creat a look like he's been in Normandy for week, maybe two. He's dirty, seen a lot of combat, and on his way to the next attack.

I did order a newline miniatures uniform from there ebay shop, but thanks to ordering at 1am I ordered the M43 uniform instead of the M42 reinforced one. On the plus side though, the Corcoran boots are superb! I'm going to darken them, as I think there a bit to light in colour, and dust them up when I weather him. Also I want the Ti-lite M1 Garand, as it is one of the most superb scale items i've ever seen!

I'm planning on him being a 1st Lieutenant from the 506th, just because im a Major Winters fan.  ;) I'll post some pics of him so far, but please bear in mind, he's completely unfinished and inaccurate at the moment. After I finish him, I want to do a pre-jump para, with all his gear on, and possible a British 1st Airborne from Arnhem. These figures are almost as addictive as the tanks! lol  ;)

Cheers,
Rik
