Great work Huy! On each of the guys! You did a nice job balancing the overall pattern, but still keeping individual elements distinct - nice!

Will be interesting to see what you do with them, please post the results, or work in progress -

Cheers

You may want to check Live Resin. I'm not sure if they have the particular figures you are looking for, but they are the best I know of.

Huy,

Superb!

A diorama scene? You could have him atop a hill overlooking "something not threatening"; looking upon a captured / neutralized objective; behind an fortification; talking to local people.

He is too good to be mixed into a busy diorama.

@Matt: I have done 2 live resin figures and post in this forum, the topics r my 2nd live resin boy and u.s. Army ranger :v live resin is the best, but the figures look like robots how about airborne miniatures and evolution?

Very nice work!

As for companies producing the best figures... I would say Evolution, Bravo6, Alpine, Airborne Miniatures, Minisoldiers, ANT Miniatures... It all depends what you want. BTE, there are a lot of reviews of these figures on this site. Check it out and decide which way to go.
