What an excellent team! It would be great for Dutch to go hunting them.
What base figure did u use?  Your head selection is spot on.

Most of the work was done on the K-9. The figures themselves are Joytoy 1/18 scale figures. The Humvee is what I'm actually working on the most.

I'll be making a custom 1/18 scale predator here shortly.

FINALLY received my Hiyah 1/18 (3.75") scale Predator. Did some custom paint touch ups here and there...added a cape and a trophy belt!

He's ready to rip and tear spines!

So I've ordered the JoyToy 1/18 Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) special forces 5 pack and a type 99 prototype tank I'm going to customize and convert into a Type 99A.

I'm going to completely repaint it in the Chinese PLA "ditigal camo," add some external composite armor plates, a coaxial machine gun, some more crew periscope gun sights, and radio antennas.

JoyToy PLA special forces:



Pre custom tank:



What I am going for:


I've also added some muzzle flashes/blood effects. I also plan to get some fireworks and smoke bombs to start doing some awesome photography down the road.


Here's a BGM-71 TOW I put together and hand painted/chipped from spare fodder:




Also added some decals!

So the seller ended up lying about having the tank...

I ended up getting a light armored vehicle. But I made the best of it! Turned out really well.

Really sorry to hear about the tank; I'm sure that was super frustrating. But...the armored car looks great! I've always liked the look of the light armored mechanized vehicles, so it makes me happy to see you tackle it.

More progress!

Armored Humvee (weathered)




Chinese PLA APC (weathered)

I also did manage to finally get the tank. It should be here tomorrow. Hopefully I wasn't hoodwinked again!

Great job on all of these.  The detail work is excellent, and seeing what you did with the quonset hut makes me really regret not picking it up last Christmas when it was on sale.  I can't wait to see the final display.
