U.S. Marine Infantry
Modern U.S. Military figs 3821312673_ae3f9b123b
Sporting the U.S. Marine Corp's woodland MARPAT and an M16A4 with an ACOG and AN/PEQ2, this Marine is ready for anything. He's wearing a Coyote Brown OTV which is more commonly found with USMC units in Iraq, while the MTV and SPC are more commonly found with USMC units in Afghanistan. He's also wearing a USMC LWH [Light Weight Helmet] (which fully replaced all PASGT helmets this year) with a nightvision mount, and ESS Nightvision profile goggles. The brown color in the MARPAT looks a little pinkish in these photos but it's really just solid brown.

U.S. Army Infantry
Modern U.S. Military figs 3819654596_f29d2ac0ba
Sporting the U.S. Army's Universal Camoflague Pattern (more commonly known as ACU) and an M4 with an ACOG and AN/PEQ2, this grunt is (also) ready for anything. He's wearing an OTV which can still be found in U.S. Army units in Iraq, but is no longer issued, although it seems that the newer IOTV is less comfortable. He's also wearing an ACH/MICH helmet with ESS goggles, and desert tan boots.

U.S. Army Combat Robotics Technician
Modern U.S. Military figs 3576154453_c140c4a8fa
Front view. He controls the combat robot on the right. He was embedded in a Ranger unit as a sort of 'experiment' to see how the idea would perform; while adopting the style of the helmet and vest, he decieded to keep on his ACU blouse and desert tan boots.

Modern U.S. Military figs 3599043773_2149c575e3
Yeah, dark pictures. While not 100% accurate I think its pretty good for a first time. The monocular display comes from the side on this fig while in real life it comes from the bottom side of the helmet and swivels upward, but that was hard to get based on the way minifigs are set up.

Back view showing a lot of his ACU flightsuit.

Some of the mods are very rough, with their final paint job. It seems as though big blotches of the paint were left in certain spots, giving it that unfinished textured look. However, the detail, precision, and respect to the actual weapons and equipment is very, very strong. Furthermore, most of your camoflauges are just sexy, and I think you nailed the ACU on your Army soldier Wink .


Bravo! Now I can't wait to see something Clone Wars out of you Razz .

It's nice, the paint is very good except for the guns, which look all rough and old. Anyway, how did you do the camo? Stickers? Decals?

Pretty cool! I like the guns! Though the Military Infantry looks a bit odd, everything else is pretty well done!

I use sticker/decal paper. As for the roughness, some of it was intentional, as you won't find one weapon or piece of gear, thats been in desert combat, nice and clean. The paint jobs on the weapons were intentional, as soldiers spray paint their weapons "in the field", so the finish comes of in many spots do to the wear and tear of desert and urban combat.
