ill dig around tomorrow and get all the relevent info and i'll explain in more detail what i did and how i changed a few things ,, just for starters dutch's m16/m203 is made up of 6 parts plus the sling, the figures are 1/6th scale , same size as our action men in the uk , i think our u.s. cousins have g.i. joe , over the pond ..

Mike ,,,that has to be one of the best one liners of the film !!! blain was one of my fave charicters in the film although rather short lived ,, excuse the pun ,, lol i realy got into my research for this dio , and found out some very interesting facts , especially about how the mimi gun is a completely fictisious weapon system ,, because when fired it is in a sustained state of recoil as there are no moving parts , this weapon can only be fired , mouned on a vehicle or a solid mount ,,, not human ,, even arnie would not be able to fire it with live 7.62mm rounds or as the marines tried with a reduced 5.56mm round ,, apparently it would just about tear your arms out and through you to the ground ,,, just to top it off , when fired in the film they used blanks obviously ,,, and the 2 very large truck batteries were cammed up behind vegitation on set, the power cables ran down jesse's leg inside his combats ,, the pack used in the film on his belt would, on a good day power the system for about 50 rounds,,,, so in the blink of an eye it would be out of juice ,,, how many people will this sicken ???,,,, oh dear , thats reality for you eh ????

hi stefan ,, i just wish the castings were as good as the sculpt , the dutch figure took a long time just to clean up the mold seams lots of filler and sanding required ant the weapons are wrong ,, the m16 has the a2 fore hand grip and should be the a1 and the mini gun lets the blaine figure down badly , i used a completely new model for the mini gun

Nice work. I like the figures & the composition.
Is it my imagination or do these guys look a little like G.I. Joe & G. Gordon Liddy?
