I knew if someone on the tank would recognize who I used for Jonesy's head, it would be you

Yeah, I wanted to go with something as distinct (albeit less fantastical) as the original Adventure Team figure. Glad you like it and dug the decision to go with tatted-up arms.

Yeah, I'll be using former Seabees, MWSS Marines, and USAF Red Horse expeditionary engineering airmen for the expeditionary airfield construction team. From what I've read, they've more experience in that type of thing than Army combat engineers.

As time has gone, I see now that it might take you five or six revisions, but the final image at the end of the road is always well worth the trip. She looks accurate to her original, while still having that real world realistic look. Great re-use of the ScarJo head here as well. The only suggestion would be to shorten her left forearm up a bit. The placement of the glove is too low, IMO.
Fixed the glove placement (thought it might take a few clicks on the "refresh" button for the fixed image to appear). I'm quite surprised you recognized the use of Scarlett Johansson's head. I did use her head and hair, but I used Courtney Cox's eyes and nose (helped to make her look a tad more mature... fitting for her role as the senior female operative on the team) while simultaneously widening and reducing the fullness of Johansson's lips. Good eye.

Glad you like it. It took me more than a few tries to get to this version and I'm quite happy with it as well.

Oh, that's not a weapon. It's a cordless electric router/saw. I've got him as an airframe/structural mechanic so I figured I'd give him something appropriate.

There does seem to be a certain segment of the DoD acquisition/R&D organisation that loves using "geeky" acronyms based on pop culture. Besides HULC (Human Universal Load Carrier), there's also the
PHASR
(Personnel Halting and Stimulation Response Rifle)... it's basically a non-lethal stun grenade in rifle form.

The mechanics are great too.
Thanks man, really appreciate it.

Thanks and the same to you and yours. And yeah, they did find their luggage... took them three trips to the airport and a queasy 15 hours worrying about all the paperwork needed to get new passports issued in the middle of the holidays, but it looks like everything's accounted for. Apparently, an airport employee did find the bags and ended up putting them in the lost & found safe without notifying anybody else (and the guy who knew the combination to the safe had already left for the evening
).
