The Vietnam steel pots from 21st Century Toys was my first thought. I got a figure from eBay and tried it, but it was way, WAY too small. The Sgt. Savage helmets are too big. But... they look right on the heads. The problem is these toy helmets don't have a realistic liner with suspension...

That's pretty much the same setup I use. I use a variety of arms for variations in sleeve rolling. I'm using the Shipwreck torso for the OG-107 shirts. I've shaved the buttons off of a Shipwreck torso, and I am currently working on shaving off the pockets and sculpting the slanted pockets for...

It's nice to see new Hueys on the market. The scalpers fees on eBay are retarded. I, like many others, wish I had picked up a few of the hundreds that flooded my local Wal-Mart for $20-$30 back in the day. It is disappointing that these toy companies that keep promising us new Hueys can do...

I've been scrounging around the web trying to find a printable Vietnam War era C-ration box. I've seen one guy providing them, but he only made them available via email, and he seems to have disappeared. He provided them for the 1:6th scale community, but it should be easy enough to shrink it...

I am a full blown o-ring junkie for only one reason... I am familiar with them. When the 25th line was first introduced, I thought they looked amazing, still do actually. And I was excited because I was just getting in to collecting and I was going to be able to start at the beginning. But...

It appears that he is going to be making some Vietnam figures in the ARAH style. I'm attempting that myself, so it's pretty cool seeing this. A little retooling of an '85 Shipwreck torso makes a good jungle jacket. A friend of mine has removed the buttons on the shirt, as well as the seam...

Ok, so I guess this is the section I'm supposed to ask these questions. I'm new to the community. I've been trolling around the 1:18th sites for a few years, collecting little bits and pieces for customs during that time. Now it's time to start working on the customs that I have been thinking...
