Tunnel RatSnake-Eater Engineer Sergeant
Frostbite's M16 is an awesome accessory due mostly to the starlight sight, which resembles an AN/PVS-4 sight. But it's about 17% too long for true 1/18 scale. However, when you compare it to a Marauder Inc. M16, the proportions are actually pretty good other than the stock, so most of the excess length is just in the stock. I trimmed that down, as well as the grip and the magazine a bit so it fits in with the Marauder accessory. Then I painted the end of the sight, and drilled out the eyepiece end.
The big thing about this figure is of course the backpack and tools. The pack has a hole drilled in one side for the radio's peg to fit in, and two hoops added to the other to hold the sledge hammer, while the axe fits naturally in the existing gap at the top of the pack, and the entrenching tool also fits nicely in the slot on the back.
