Hey Loose,
Sorry I wasn't clearer earlier, and thanks for the continued interest in my custom team. I really hope it gets frontpaged when we're done.
Anyway, here's where I started...
Customizing the 25th/Roc figures isn't as easy as one might think because, as I'm sure you're already aware, not all the leg pieces are interchangeable, and not all the heads are interchangeable.
So when I find a new combo that works mechanically and aesthetically, I get really excited... recently, I figured out a way to combine Diver thighs (with the knife and silenced pistol) with combat boot knee/feet. I was extatic.
And then I was thinking about a conversation on this Thread from a few days ago: 40% of Delta Force comes from the Ranger Regiment and are not SF qualified. Consequently, 50%-60% of Delta Operators are not SF qualfied. And I've used up nearly every SF character from the "Filecard Thread Approved" list of SF Joes.
So I wanted to create a small team of "Delta/ISA" type operators who are not SF guys.
So, I came up with the following list of Airborne Rangers, who are not SF qualified, but I still wanted to make cool customs. So with my new "Black Ops" custom Leg combo, and knowing how cool Marine Deadpool's camo looks on Reactive Impact Armor, I came up with a list of Army Ranger characters who are going to be updated into a team of Non-SF Operators.
Claymore*
Big Brawler*
Low-Light*
Recoil
Dart
Muskrat
Tunnel Rat
Chuckles*
Obviously, there is some overlap (*) with the ODA Team, but those guys were never listed as being SF for certain, even though I think there is a strong argument to be made for all of them.
They'll all have updated looks, and VERY similar uniforms, but I'm excited about it. I'll use them a lot like my Ghost Squad: Black Ops and Deep Recon.
Anyway, thanks for your interest buddy. I want to hear more about those custom figures you showed us. Tell us who is who, and we could use some close up pics.
Also, nice background ;)
