Base Figure: Tunnel Rat with modified head
Paint: Testors flat light blue, Model Masters flat black, Model Masters light ghost gray
Accessories: Tunnel Rat webgear, pistol and rifle, 1/6 scale monkey

When I picked up a couple extra Tunnel Rat figures for customs, I looked at the head and decided that it would make a great Shipwreck. I simply had to sculpt on a beard and give him a new paint job and BAM! I had a Sigma 6 Shipwreck. Adding in Sea Ops Duke's web gear and a nice little 1/6 scale monkey and he fits right in with the rest of my Sigma 6 team.

Sigma File Bio -

Code Name: Shipwreck
Real Name: Delgado, Hector X.
Sailor

Primary Military Specialty: Gunner's Mate
Secondary Military Specialty: Machinist

The only son of a merchant marine, Hector Delgado grew up in the shadow of the Navy base in San Diego, California. With his father gone most of the time and his mother working to support the two of them, Delgado spent a most of his childhood alone. His small stature made him the perfect target for schoolyard bullies and he had to quickly learn to defend himself. Because he was so much smaller than his attackers he often fought "dirty" doing whatever it took to win the fight. He barely graduated high school and immediately joined the Navy, hoping to follow in his father's footsteps and become a great sailor.

Delgado excelled in the Navy, easily graduating from gunnery school however his short temper and propensity for insubordination kept him from advancing through the ranks. His attitude was the major factor in his assignments to some of the most backwater duty stations in the Navy, but Delgado didn't let this faze him. In fact he came to love working the jobs no one else wanted because he knew the more he learned the more valuable he would become. It was during this time that he first encountered the terrorist organization Cobra. While working interdiction off the coast of a small African nation, his ship came upon a cargo vessel under attack from what was believed to be pirates. Delgado manned one of the main guns and nearly sunk the attacking vessel. It was this action that brought Delgado to the attention of Duke for the Sigma 6 team. Duke traveled to the port where Delgado was stationed and was surprised to find that Delgado was in the brig for insubordination. Delgado was given the option, face court-martial and be discharged from the Navy or join Sigma 6. He chose Sigma 6.

Shipwreck isn't the most liked member of the team due to his short temper and quickness to start a fight. As one of the lower ranking members of the team he is often given the "crap" jobs but that's the way he likes it. Duke knows that as long as Shipwreck gets to be on the water he can keep the rough sailor under control. And the rest of the team knows that if the mission calls for a sailor there's no one else they trust at the helm of their boat. Shipwreck may not be the smartest or biggest member of the team but he's the best soldier on the water hands down.

In fact he is such a talented and skilled sailor and member of the Sigma 6 team that Duke and Hawk overlook the fact that Shipwreck's pet monkey, Paulie, goes with him everywhere.
