Another nice figure.
How much fun was it scooping out the contents of the helmet?

I would hope both ranges have empty helmets as spares.

Very inspirational! Currently in the process of basing up all my Empress Nam figures and your pics are encouraging me to crack on with the project. Has anybody got any colour suggestions (preferably Vallejo) for painting USMC green? The colour does vary on the photos I've seen.

@Mr C
I use GW (Death Guard Green) for the uniforms but I’m sure there’s a similar Vallejo paint.

Another one with a slight head modification:

Death Guard Green. Will check it out next time I'm near a GW shop. Many thanks! You've also inspired me to pick up a paint brush after many months!

Excellent work. The only conversions I’ve dared so far have been the occasional addition of backpacks and LAW rockets.

Vallejo US Dark green and Vallejo Panzer Aces Splinter Strips green work well. Ash’s tip of the GDW green wash has proved an excellent one. Vallejo grey green mixed in with the other two is good for highlights.
