I have loved the move "Full Metal Jacket" since the first time I saw it back in the 80's, and of course the best part is R. Lee Ermey's "Gunnery Sgt. Hartman". I've been wanting to do one of these figures for a long time, and once I saw the "O face" Duke, and then BnB Slaughter head hit, I knew I was all in!
Hat - BnB Sgt. Slaughter Head - "O face" DVD set Duke Arms and torso - TRU SRO 3 pack Hawk Legs - Breaker, w/ knife sheath removed This is the first truly custom figure I have done, and I have a LOT of time in it, and more $$ than I care to admit I spent on it. Worst part was fitting the head to the hat. Luckily a fellow tanker had the hat w/ the head already removed, all I had to do was sand down the head till I got it to the point it fit the way I wanted too. Also took a spare Duke head to make sure I got the fit right before I started sanding on the "O face" Duke, just for practice. I'm pretty happy w/ how he came out. The "Gunny" addressing some of the "O 13" Breaker getting some unwanted attention.

Thanks guys, I wanted to put the whole line there he gives Cowboy in the pic where he's giving Breaker a bunch of sh*t, but I figured the mods wouldn't like it.
I know the whole movie, forward and backwards. I kind of whated to get the hat a little lower on his head, but I was scared of taking "too much" off and "O face" Duke head, given their rarity vs a regular one.

Aside from an awkward shower dio, this is the best use of the O-face Duke i have seen so far!
Nice job!
