This is my NS Night Force, really an LBC Night Force, but I like it!

It started with me really digging the Recondo body, and getting a few of them with different heads really did something for me with the uniformity of the look. The Shipwreck and Outback heads are awesome and came from Aegis as part of my Secret Santa gift. SGT Bazooka was a no-brainer on the Hulk Buster figure. SGT Airborne and CrossHairs are not customs, just part of the team.

Bravo Squad

Charlie Squad

Very simple customs, and I am not happy with some paint aps, but the challenge of the differing neck-balls increased my skill a bit in this area. Still not happy with Widescope's blue hat, I might make it black to match, plus his ncek may be a bit too tall. And Wreckage's goggles still are too bright for me, but anywho, let me know what you may think.

Bravo, I am a HUGE fan of these types of customs. They are very effective for teams and squads with the flexability of personalizing the team.

I have done several teams like that( Just never finished them or posted them to the gallery).

This Night Froce get my vote, great job LBC's ROCK.

Yeah, that NF Recondo was my favorite fodder fig when it came out - I think I ended up with half a dozen of those crappy little helicopters in my attempt to gather up these figs (stupid TRU exclusives!)

Nice little Platoon you got there :D

I like this quite a bit. I'm handling the Resolute Duke sculpt in a similar way, in terms of creating a base uniformity while still personalizing each character and team.

The coolness of this unit you've created also creates some hope for the custom potential of all the movie figs we'll be seeing soon.
