1st SFOD-D (D-boy)



Another rework of an old bash on a subject matter that needs no further intro.

Basically changing out the tac. vest to the TS D-boy Breacher version. Other parts are a combi of BBI & DML.

Threads on OSW: 'Your first kitbash...', 'The figure that gou u started...'. This would be the one that did it for me ever since stumbling across it on a feature in an issue of ARMS magazine back in 2004. Also got acquainted with the first SpecFigures magazine thru that feature & as the saying goes, the rest is history....

CLEVELAND P.D. - S.W.A.T

A re-bash of an old figure from couple of years back originally the 1st Gen. BBI SWAT figure released around 2000/01.

Underlying reason was economical coz it was using a HT Truetype body which i wanted to recycle (tough times....). Also, had a spare tac. vest lying around which was one of the essential ingredients for the re-bash. But most of all i guess was that i wasn't entirely satisfied with my original bash in the first place.....

Anyway HT Truetype was replaced with a BBI G3.5, used up the spare ABA Vest (from ACE) but removed the backpack that came with it. Changed out the original M4 to an MP5 to go with the vest. Swap out the gloves & assault boots, added the pistol mag. pouch & mech-light + pouch.

End result: an almost totally new figure. Too bad didn't manage to snap any shots of the old bash for comparison (gotta remember to do that next time).

SEAL in MultiCam

To be completely honest, the idea for this kitbash is totally based on an original one done by Fuji san & featured in SpecFigures4 magazine.

While certain parts used are different due to resource constraints, my attempt was certainly meant to emulate Fuji san's bash to as close a detail as possible. Thus credit in this regard goes out to Fujico for the inspiration.

Secondly, the presentation in my first pix was also done up half in jest/spoof as a mock up cover resembling SF4. Anyway to make it short it was a satisfying bash & presentation the way everything turned out just right (to my expectation).
