Tried another Crimea 2014 figure. This is one of the F35106 with added a Hornet head, and the Dragon AK-47/74 Family Part-2 3805 PKM. Formed the Balaclava with tissue. Thanks for looking...

Little feedback so far on this recent figure. In the interest of self improvement, I changed out the comm wire on the figure. I think the first attempt looked like a truck spring in the photos. First attempt used a .023" needle for a mandrel. This time I tried the same .008 inch (0.21mm)diameter wire on a .013 inch (0.33mm) drill bit for a mandrel.




Looks like if you enlarge the comm box enough, then the press to talk button does not look so square anymore! Perhaps a decal here or speck of glitter? Always learning. Thank you for looking.

Thank you for the comment Faze4. I have 3 more of these Crimea figures from Black Dog in work and learning more about the uniforms and equipment with each one. Looking forward to seeing examples from others!

Here is my latest try at another Black Dog figure. Added the sling and used a bit of red glitter for the radio talk button this time. Thanks for looking...

I ordered this Black Dog Little Green Men in Crimea 2014 figure kit F35106 from MadModeler's shop online. Highly recommended. Thanks again Tom for the excellent service!
