MOVIE TRAILER



More cheesy B-grade action mayhem???

Seeing 2 of the 80/90s action icons on screen together is worth the price of admission!!!

1/6 Bullpup Assault Rifle



An original effort from the guys i usually get my parts from (not available anywhere else.... so i've been told).

U.S. Navy SEAL - Pointman


A logical follow-up to my last post/bash.

One of the more memorable characters in TOTS almost in the same vein as SPR's Pvt. Jackson though he ain't got much lines in TOTS as opposed to Pepper's scripture quoting sniper in SPR.

Once again not an entirely movie accurate bash due to parts shortage & also not sure if the Pointman designation is correct. I'm guessing so from the shotgun he carries in the movie.

Parts utilizes an old DML rig & HT Truetype. M4 is a bash of TS, HT & VH parts, with the rest of the loadout being HT, TS, VH etc. in the mix.

All comments appreciated.

U.S. Navy SEAL - Team Leader


Unofficially, i'm calling this bash: "The guy who lost half his squad coz of the BIG Boobies".... that's jus plain crude & low (me i mean, for calling that....it's meant to be a joke, no offence) but i was kinda thinkin the whole plot about saving the tribal bloodline thingy was jus to give the movie a kind of higher purpose???

Anyhow, reason for the bash was again because i miss the boat on the TS release which i considered kinda high for a $180 price-point at that time. On hindsight FENG's excellent h/s could have well been worth the $$$.

And up till a few weeks ago this was one of my 'shameful post of unfinished project' as those in OSW would call it, started a few years ago, missing a suitable h/s & H-harness. The TS Navy SEAL Rifleman (woodland) accessory set would have been ideal to kick start this lost cause but the set had since been almost totally extinct.

It was sheer luck recently stumbling on a fellow compatriot's used parts for sale that i manage to cannibalize the H-harness from part of a vest release by TS or perhaps ACE. Other parts are a mish-mesh of DML, HT, BBI & TS. So the H-harness was modded, comms earpiece & knives are not movie accurate but considering even the TS release blundered on the lefty hostler, had 2 knives instead of 3 & even did not manage to get the M4 right.... i'm not too bothered with my amateur effort.

So that about wraps up the bashes on my 'to do list', this & Miller & Snake.... Kinda surreal, all 3 bashes in limbo all these years & completed in the space of a few months.... First a break (at least for a couple of days), then gonna start cracking on what to work-on next before the bashing-bug bites.
