Hey Guys. It's Memorial day just less then a week away. I've been hard at work to restore a Gung Ho that has seen better days. Well most of his work was finished not long after I had received him...
I had received a dress marine Gung Ho from Hanrahan, but unfortunately he was a mess which also left him with no waist. some real bad paint scratches, his hat was yellowed, and his shoes baddly chipped.. I got to work on him right away! T A huge Thank you to Hanrahan for the major parts of the figure, CTG Links for the parts I needed. Thanks brother! I owe ya one! And to Wampuscat for the very hard to find sword Yer an ace in my book! M.B.T. Mauler is a restored piece by Hisstanker Hanrahan. Thanks to !!Snake -Eyes!! for lending me photos of his USMC dress cover as reference for the hat ! Ok.. On to the good stuff, Comments are welcome. Miniature scale Replicas is proud to present...... The Few... The Proud... The Marines! 1987 Gung Ho in dress blues (Fully Restored and updated) Gung Ho Ribbons. 1st line purple heart, Commendation, and Achievement 2nd line Combat action, American Campaign[ww2 USMC tribute], Afghanistan Campaign 3rd line Iraq Campaign, Over Seas Service , Marine Corps Security guard 4th line united Nations Advanced Special Missions Cambodia, Kuwait Liberation{Saudi Arabia}, Kuwait Liberation Metal{Kuwait} Arm rate- Sgt Maj I wanted GH to have an updated ribbon set. And so here they are. The ribbons on his chest are these,scaled down, and printed into a label, laminated and used. His patches are still a gunny Sarg. His marksmanships are done over in Bare Metal foil, and his gold is done with a Leafing pen for the burnished 14kt look. Happy Memorial day 2010 YO JOE! CaptDP has made a 25th anniversary version of this Gung Ho in Dress blues, please stop by and check it out! it's rather cool! http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-jo...es-captdp.html

I was really hoping that the 25th comic pack with Gung-Ho and Fred-Cobra Commander was going to include GH in his Dress Blue uniform. Still would like to have one in 25th style.

I saw him at Frank & Sons a few months back. He was all banged up but still regret not getting him. That is a note worthy figure and should only be displayed.

Thank you!
Thanks MW! The Mauler or the Jarhead? :p Thanks! Quote:
Leather Neck, BeachHead.. It'd really be something to see them in their uniforms, aside from their battle dress. Mine was worthy of the restoration. Out of all branches of service... the Marines have always had the sharpest looking uniform.
