In any case, one of the Marines that we're all certain is a Marine is Hollow Point, who was released as a BTR figure, and we've never heard from him again. He's from Arkansas, so he's a Southerner, and his birthplace of Quitman is a place I've visited. He's also the only official Marine Corps Scout/Sniper on the Joe Team. Not only is he a qualified Scout/Sniper, but he was an instructor at the Range Officer Course at Quantico and served with a Marine Expeditionary Unit. He's pretty awesome. With qualifications like that, his next file card (if they ever make one) should say he's Force Recon.
So, here's my point:
Claymore is a great figure and I've made three customs of him (Desert, Woodland, Urban).
Rapid Fire is a great character, and I'm in the process making a custom figure of him (woodland) - he may take over as the Commander of my Ranger Detachment and let Captain Grid Iron take over the regular Infantry.
Hollow Point is such a great character, I think he's worth coming up with a new outfit for him and turning him from a BTR character into a normal ARAH character. What do you guys think? Do you have any suggestions? Anybody ever done any work with any BTR figures?
Do you have any pics of your customs? I don't recall seeing many customs of ARAH figures. Plus I always thought the plastic on those guys would need sanded and primed well before taking on any paint. Do you use the same paint that everyone seems to use on the modern era figs?
