Here is the latest project I have completed for fellow tanker Oliver Box. A few months ago, Oliver contacted me to set aside our massive ODA project to do an entire SEAL team in honor of the fallen Seal Team 6 members. I had thought about doing this myself since I had an issue of the Marine Corps Times that had pics of all of them, I wanted to make each one as a Joe... but that would take some time with finding the right heads resembling each SEAL to do it right. It was purely coincidence that he was thinking the same.
A SEAL team with a Platoon Commander and Two squads that breaks down into four fire teams dressed in battle rattle for a night raid! The squads are identified by the color of their patch and pockets, Green Squad with Torpedo and Tracker as the fire-team leaders, and Black Squad with Bullfrog and the Sniper as fire-team leaders. The Plt CDR, also un-named, was left with gray patches. I know this may go against some rules with identifying unit/officers... but it works here. Roster: Plt CDR Tracker Torpedo Bullfrog Un-Named Sniper Enjoy!

Those are great! I have a hard enough time getting one figure done and you pull off an excellent job on a squad. Keep up the good work!

I couldn't be happier with the way these turned out. They look realistic, not over the top. They look like they could be deployed right now. The "flight suits" turned out great. I hope everyone likes them. We wanted to do a respectful tribute to the Operators in SEAL Team 6 for finally getting UBL and giving us victory after 10 long years of war, and in honor of their losses. I realize that toys can be a lighthearted way of paying respect, and I hope no one sees this project as disrespectful. As Joe fans, and as servicemen, we just wanted to honor our brothers in arms.

As for their names...
The SEAL Platoon Commander's name is: Geronimo The figure listed as "Bullfrog" is actually supposed to be "Wet Down", and the un-named Sniper is supposed to be "Bullfrog". Wet Down is a similar Rank as Torpedo, so he makes a good counterpart for the "Black Team" We will be adding some more SEALs to this roster: Shipwreck, Link Talbot (code name: Orca), and more CQB SEALs. And Night Fox will be leading a special squad of CQB SEALs: "Sea Shadows"... well, that sounds like a better name than "Fathom Phantoms"... OK, it's still a work in progress and I'm open to suggestions.
