I've always really liked customizing the sub-teams. When I start one character, I really want to finish the whole team.
I did that with Slaughter's Maruders ( http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-jo...marauders.html ) and with the Special Mission Brazil group ( http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-jo...l-jmu1330.html ) After taking several months from customizing (thanks to the birth of my daughter), I started back in with a UK Outback ( http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-jo...e-outback.html ). Next up in this line for me is Hit & Run. I'm pretty happy with the way this turned out, though I'm not sure on the grenades. I'd like to find some slightly smaller (I used two from a Viper vest). Just as with Outback, I used a darker orange that, I think, gives a slightly more realistic look to a pretty unrealistic color scheme. As always feedback (positive and negative) is much appreciated. Recipe: Head: Spc. Altitude Arms/Torso: Cobra Bazooka Trooper Legs/Harness: Hit & Run Helmet: Airborne I tried to pick parts similar in color to what I was trying to replicate so that painting would be easier. The Bazooka Trooper color is really close. I went over it with a Sky Blue color that ended up being almost dead on what I was looking for. The orange is the same Citadel orange I used on my UK Outback. I didn't have the right color green, so that pants are mix of paints (mainly Citadel Camo Green, Model Masters Khaki and a little pure green and even a touch of the sky blue from the torso/arms). The camo on the pants is Model Masters Leather, one of my favorite paints to use.

Thanks! I'd like to do Blizzard next, but I don't have all the parts yet. I have everything for Tunnel Rat, so that will likely end up as the next one.

Smart choice on parts (blue-cast plastic instead of paint- win). Just puzzled as to head choice. Does the helmet fit snug on that little noggin?

It's a little loose, but not noticeably so. The choice was mainly for the face. I had a couple of Altitude heads that I have had no idea what to do with. Then when I was starting to set up for this custom I noticed how old/grizzled Hit & Run's face looks on the original UK figure which is not painted green. In person the faces are surprisingly similar.
