These were some part swap/kitbash and customs Ive recently completed. I had a couple of Joe Divers and Topside and felt I needed some badguys that fit the sea dwelling profile, so i created a few Somalian Pirates. The next group Is part of a Dio Story Im working on that involves a group of thieves and Hustlers who betray their former partner (who will remain a secret). And Last Is my take on survival expert Outback who Is my favorite Joe. Hope you enjoy! I look forward to any comments and criticisms so please feel free to let me know what you think. thanks for looking!

Hi Buddy, I have a few criticisms, but mainly because I work for a Private Maritime Security Company, and know alot about Somali Piracy.
Firstly, The Somali Pirates have nothing, save an AK 47 and a few rounds, no chains, knives, jackets, you'd be lucky to have a vest. That's how poor they are. Secondly, no dreads, I love what you did, don't get me wrong, but no Somali pirates have dreads, I have ever seen in my career. They usually have bald heads with a very far back hairline. Lastly, the Camo, 90% of the time Somali Pirates won't wear Camo, 1. it's pointless, your on a boat, 2. You don't want to be recognised as a pirate, or you are screwed. They wear tattered old clothes, no t shirt most of the time. However, all said and done, they do almost resemble Nigerian Pirates, they like to wear camo, balaclavas and hats.Keep up the good work, I hope that helped! |
