Hi everyone, I know a lot of Rambo has been done. But when I had a spare Resolute SS body and TRU exclusive Spirit lying around, I can't help but think, hey maybe I can do another Rambo. So I went about doing research on him and finally I decided to custom based on the sideshow version which should be movie accurate. I recently found a material called the cloth tape, to do a few rifle slings. So I thought to myself I should be able to make an 'accurate' quiver (not sure if that's the name) and the knife sheath. The 'flying' part of the head band is also made from this. A lot of trial & error was involved and I finally made them. Then I realized the arrow from Spirit was a little to long and I only had 1 arrow. So without any choice, I decided to look around for one but couldn't find anything suitable. I then crack my head and think of how I'm going to do it. I used paper clips and the clear plastic that comes with the joe packaging and the tip, I used the tip of some mortar bombs from my BBI mortar guy. Then I shaved the tip to be pointed. The silver arrow tip, I used 1 bullet tip cut off from the ammo belt and also the clear plastic mentioned earlier.
The only major problem I faced making this custom is the paint rub at the joints. :(
Anyway thanks for looking and look forward to your comments.
Oh the Recipe:
Head: POC TRU Spirit
Necklace: String and Blue Tack painted :)
Torso: Resolute Storm Shadow
Upper Arms: Resolute Storm Shadow
Lower Arms: Flint in Cobra Disguise
Hands: Oh no sudden brain block, can't remember
Legs: ROC Breaker
Quiver & Arrows: Self Custom
Bow: POC TRU Spirit with string glue on
Belt: ROC Breaker (I think)
Knife: Marauder "Gun-Runners" (thank you Marauder!)
Knife Sheath: Self Custom
M-60E3: Marauder (I cut of the handle to match the sideshow version)
Ammo Belt: 25th Roadblock
AK-47: Marauder
After the photos were taken, I glue the ammo belt to the machine gun.
