Thanks guys. No progress to report on the first 3 figures. However, today was a bit of a lazy Sunday for us. I spent some time in my man-cave, but mostly sorting and organizing. I did take some time to play around with fodder. I have had an eye on making an Action Force Minesweeper for while. Since my other 3 guys are pretty far along, I figured I would add some more projects on my pile.
Day 7MinesweeperSince the original Minesweeper had a similar shirt/collar combo to the radio operator and the 2 Para, I started with the same Firefly torso as a base. Unfortunately, I had to crack it open to swap the long sleeved arms for short-sleeved arms (in this case, Kwinn’s). I hate cracking torsos and avoid it as much as I can. Anyway, fortunately, the arms are compatible.
After that, I picked out some legs. Plain legs are somewhat hard to come by in ME. Most have holsters, pouches and (gasp) knee pads.
For the helmet, I had a couple of WW2 era Captain America helmets left over from my 50th Tribute. These are the smaller ones, so I needed to pick a 25th era head. The larger Poc or modern heads are too big. I went with the Pit Commando. It was over-used for a while, but it fits nicely here I think.
I completed the final assembly with some accessories and voilà - ready for paint.
For the heck of it, while I was rumaging through my drawers looking for body parts for Minesweeper, I pulled extra parts that I found interesting for other projects. In short order, I pieced together a Medic as well.
