All of the parts are from Marauder, the M-16 is the one with the removable magazine (which I assume is out of stock at the moment or I would provide a link to it). For the double mag I just used a second magazine and joined them together with a very small band (although I guess a small piece of tape would also work) The Scope is this one: https://www.marauderinc.com/product-p/410018.htm I cut the pin off the bottom and glued it in place, but it may have been better to drill a small hole in the m-16's handle and insert the pin into that (if you the equipment to drill holes that small) The suppressor I am not 100% sure about as I have a bag of various different ones but I believe it is this one: https://www.marauderinc.com/product-p/410023.htm The hole is actually just slightly too small to go over the barrel so I cut the end of the barrel off and glued it in place (I don't intend to take this weapon apart). I do know however that the silencer from this pistol does go over the barrel without cutting and fits nice and tightly in place (I discovered that after I had modified it for the other one) and is shown below the other one in the attached photo: https://www.marauderinc.com/product-p/s-025.htm If you wanted a larger suppressor then the one from this rifle does also just fit over the end of the barrel (but it is very tight): https://www.marauderinc.com/product-p/610010.htm |

Really good stuff going on here. That Recondo is getting some well-deserved attention, and that Theodore head looks surprisingly good as Rock n Roll! Looking forward to seeing what you do with Stalker!

Thanks, The Theo head wasn't my idea, I just finally got around to trying it. It does have a more surfer vibe than the regular bearded head, although his hat no longer fits. I am looking forward to seeing how Stalker comes out, but it may be a way off completion yet as I wait for parts (at the moment it is just a head, beret and rifle!)

I really like the Wick head and bullets you used for that Rock n Roll. Really cool looking build.
That’s a badass Recondo build, love the sculpted mustache! Haha, like what you are doing with Cold War. Been experimenting with splitting that white German myself too. Some camo added would be decent, thinking about adding some to the white jacket for maybe an v1 Windchill.

I don't have many parts here at the moment with Marauder no longer shipping to the UK (although I do have a large order on the way purchased through a friend). I have still been working on some customs, this is a character I plan to redo when the Vietnam kickstarter comes out, but for now my take on the flashback Stalker:

I have also taken the time to reorganise my display shelves, so here are some group shots:

Sorry to hear about shipping to the UK, awesome that you have some on the way though! I’m sure you’re gonna have some great stuff to show once they come in!
Stalker looks great! Was trying to figure out something for my extra Stalker for a while but it never occurred to me to try it on a WW2 body. Those displays look awesome! Always wanted to see your customs together since you went so deep into the lines that I wasn’t as familiar with and they don’t disappoint! Love the setup!

For me the Tundra Stalker (especially the Arctic Commandos one) would be the next Stalker to do, although the Talking Battle Commander sculpt might allow you to be more expansive with the colour scheme. That said I would like to see your take on the Desert Patrol Squad Stalker. |

Looking at your displays, I really dig both versions of Cobra Commander, Storm Shadow, Dr Mindbender and soo many others!! Thanks for sharing! |
