Lots of paint is needed, and a sling for his gun.

I like the parts choices here... Definitely has a Navy SEAL look to him. Now I can't wait to see him finished!

What color uniform you going with? The green boarding party flight suit, or something else, like black or camo? I really like the way these are coming together and can't wait to see them finished! Also, kudos on the Bruce Willis/Lt. Waters figure... Loved that guy in "Tears Of The Sun".

My aim is something along the lines of a night ops feel. Maybe blue and black. Something along those lines.

Of course, thanks to my handy camera, I found about 25 things I need to finish on each figure. Other than that, they're done.

A quick note. As you've noticed, my most recent customs have been more realistic military styled (for the most part that is). I've been reading a lot about, and watching many documentaries modern military and the current wars. One of the main reasons I'm doing these figures is to, in a way, honor the people that put themselves in harms way everyday. Take a couple of minutes and check out some of the people that are listed on the [url="http://www.cmohs.org/"]Congressional Medal of Honor website.[/url]

Nice looking figures.

Is Hawkins based on (or at least named after) Charlie Sheen's character in Navy SEALS? Which, by the way, is one of my favorite movies to watch while customizing!

The name comes from the character, but other than that, that's it.

Thanks for looking.

It's a Slayer Design sculpt. It's a perfect sculpt.
