So, I found a black belt to use for Beachhead. Here's a list of everything I did:
1. Cut backpack peg shorter by a little so that the backpack peg doesn't bottom out when putting it in his back. Now the backpack is a lot more secure. Used the rubber bands to hold it more securely to backpack 2. Gave him the ROC Target Rescue pack Snake Eyes' belt 3. Gave him a magazine for his pouch and gave him his vintage style rifle (I know, it looks dated, but wanted to be as close to the vintage one as I could) 4. Gave him Cobra Trooper's black kneepads 5. Gave him extra pistol and silencer from Cobra Trooper

Nice! I was thinking any old belt in black would do. It turns out that the 50th Beachhead has the same size torso, it just that the earlier ME versions had their belts molded with the lower torso. Your mod looks great.
I found a web belt from another line and I was planning on cutting the shoulder straps off.

What do you guys think of using the HoH Beachhead head on this one? Looking at my pics above, his neck on the 50th does seem kinda long.
Here he is with the HoH head. The green is slightly darker.

That's what I did with mine (Except I used the one closer in color to the 50th). I think it looks better with this head. I didn't care for it much on the 25th but it works really well on the 50th.

Too bad I traded the comic pack one away. :( I only have the HoH one.

I actually like the brown kneepads, but the black belt is a big improvement. I used the belt off of the RoC jungle assault RipCord.
