Soldier figs

[JSN]

A while (at least 10 years) ago I created some military special forces minifigs with torso covers for camouflage who I have now revived thanks to my discovery of the amazing BrickArms and I thought I would show them off here as well.

Here is a pic of one of the squads in woodland camo

And one of some new troops I made in desert camo

For more pics and full descriptions of the squads I have threads on the BrickArms forums for the woodland and desert troops. For more pics including a couple of the woodland troops in action here is the Brickshelf folder

The uniforms for these troops are made of coloured paper (green felt tip for woodland and printed tan for desert) with brown and black stripes to give the camo pattern held in place by a belt round the bottom of the torso and all held together by Blu-tac/sticky tac. Each trooper also has a knife or axe while some have pistols and flashbangs in paper holsters also held together with Blu-tac. I am thinking of glueing the uniforms together for a better hold and finding a way of protecting the colours from fading and the uniforms from damage so if anyone has any advice it would be much appreciated.

I have had a couple of requests for the instructions/patterns for making these guys and particularly the holsters on the BrickArms folders so if people are interested I can also post some pics here. Hope you like them and I look forward to your comments.

Very good! As a brickarms expert I think that those guns fit well with the minifigs decals.I love their pocets!

i love how you have the holsters for the knives. ever thought about purchasing brickarms helmets? or are your special forces members too cool for helmets

Thanks for the comments guys, glad you like them. I did get some helmets with my last order of BrickArms but I didn't really like the way they looked on these troops so I am goint to try them on some other ones soon.
