Umm... all MP5s are sub-machine guns. They fire pistol bullets; that's the definition of an SMG: a fully automatic weapon firing pistol bullets. Just to nit-pick My Joes are mostly carrying M-16s, Hawk got an M-4. Roadblock has the minimi (M-249 SAW to Americans) but I'm thinking of giving him the minigun as soon as I can figure something to use for an ammo belt. (The .50 cal belt from his M2 won't work, it's waay too huge. Any suggestions?) (Stalker, Snake-Eyes and Gung-ho kept their Hasbro-issue weapons because I like them.) Cobra are carrying AUG77s, with the RPK for fire-support. AKs are given to the CGs, because their weapons as much for show as they are for combat, at the AK is an instantly recognisable and intimidating weapon - many high-tech weapons look more like movie props than real guns to the average person. P90s for the vehicle crews (I went with the "Gate Explorer" pack for weapons without the suppressor.) If and when there are any Iron Grenadiers, they'll get L85s. If you aren't sure what you want, I suggest the "Heavy and Assault Weapon" pack - it's got most of the different longarms/squad support weapons in it, and will give you a good idea of the quality of these pieces. |

Driftbot, what brown paint did you use for your AK/M-14/RPG wood parts? I'm not 100% happy with what I used and yours looks more like the color I want.

to answer my own question, i stumbled on this: http://www.build-a-rama.com/catalog_1_18.shtml looks like you could combine some of MJs stuff with some of this for some spectacular (if expensive) results

Bear has a few things over at http://www.smallscaledepot.com/store/
i've ordered from his 1/6 scale site to equip my marvel icon punisher, and he is awesome. very fair prices, fast shipping and nicely packed. his small scale site doesnt have much to offer, but its great if you need anything he has. now as for that paint, i used Mr. Hobby brand from japan. colors are flat "sail color" and drybrushed flat "dark earth" not sure if there is anywhere online to order Mr. Hobby paints. i get mine locally here in japan.

I think I might place an order for a few things, this weekend. I really like the scenery stuff so maybe get a few wooden crates and barrels.
