Delta Sniper WIP

[Fled74]

I threw this together in about 30 minutes, in the wee hours of the morning (1:30 am or so).

It's meant to be SFC Randy Shughart - for my dio series based on Black Hawk Down.

The ROC Duke head is a stand-in until I can find a better one.
Body is a repainted ROC Jungle Ripcord, rolled-up sleeves are varnish-soaked tape, forearms are Ren Tunnel Rat, hands are POC Lowlight.
The M-14 is from Falcone.
I'll be replacing his legs with better ones, and the rifle scope with a Marauder Aimpoint.

Still a bit more to do before I can start on his partner MSG Gary Gordon.

Great start!

 

[Digler]

Cool, I love Delta teams

 

[Fled74]

Thanks guys. I'm still waiting on some parts I ordered from Raginspoon and Marauder, among others.

great job on the fig but the rifle looks small in his hands

 

[Keenan]

Very nice!

 

[Fled74]

Thanks again, guys.

Yeah, but the rifle is true 1:18, meaning his hands are freakishly huge.
The original Jungle Ripcord hands were the right size, but I needed the articulated wrists of the LL hands.

You could try the ROC Desert Duke hands. They seem to be able to hold a non-pistol grip rifle pretty well.

ROC Jungle Ripcord uses the same hands, with the extended index finger. I couldn't get the rifle angled correctly with those hands, unfortunately.
Another solution will eventually present itself.

Looks good...what pouches are those that you modded onto the vest?

 

[darthdre758]

Gotcha. I was able to get the rifle the the Reso Scarlett comes with in some decent positions with those hands...but I'm sure Falcone's stuff is a bit different from Big H.

Raginspoon sells these modded vests. I didn't have to do anything.
