There was a dio of a SF HMMWV in the snow in Afghanistan posted here in the past. It had a SEAL or SF figure on the base. I am interested in the figure but can not find it. Does anyone have a pic of the dio or know what figure it is?

Gino is this the one your after, unfortunately it’s the only one I have with the figure in it. I also asked about this figure a few years back and got no answer to where or who made it. Good luck on your search.

The dio was made by Hugo Luyten and it is an impressive piece; I saw it this year in Moson show in Hungary. The figure is from Infinity Shape, but is OOP and very hard (not to say impossible) to find these days...
The jacket was added to the figure.

Nope, this set is OOP and Colorado Miniatures list it as "temporary unavailable"... since Infinity Shape doesn't exist anymore this set is extremely hard to find.

That is the one. Hopefully I can find that figure, or one like it. I am looking to add it to my SF Toyota Crew Cab for a small dio/vignette on a base. Any other SF guys in relaxed poses out there that anyone knows about?
Here is the truck he will go with, some of you may remember it from a while back.

Good Luck finding the figure Gino, as Mario said its almost completely impossible to get hold of, ive hunted at shows to no avail. Snother option could be Infinity shapes old Spec op's guy, i know he oop but someone might have one kicking about. if you ca wait as well, New world miniatures has announced a private contractor figure which would easily fit the bill.

That is what I figured Rob. Too bad, he looks good. I'll keep my eye out for any SF-like guys in relaxed poses. I'm in no hurry. If anyone has one let me know too.

I have seen/been looking for that one too. Think 180 is OOP too (supposedly bought out by MIG) and I can't find it either. Oh well, the search continues. Anyone have one out there to trade or sell?

Gino
I emailed these guys a while ago about the Think 180 Studio figures , might be worth an email. Scroll down to see the Think 180 figures.

I saw what I believe Think 180's Stryker crew and ACU Infantry being sold under the Hobby Fan brand at Great Models Webstore, maybe there's something there.

Bill - Thanks. I sent them an email, we'll see what they say.
Joe - The Stryker Crew and ACU Infantry are Hobby Fan releases and are not/never were by Think 180 Studios. I have both and they are quite good.

And I'm gonna prove you wrong Mario...
Gino, I got the Infinity Shape set. More than willing to trade it with a fellow soldier. PM me and we will work out a deal. Those SF guys will look great with your truck.
