Suit me up, Bucky! The Captain America Ma.K

[white knight]

So I went and did a Cap and Bucky version of the Ma.K's. Bases still need to be finished, but the figures are basically done. I went for a slightly darker/dirtier shade of the old red-white-and-blue as I thought it was more suitable for the battlefields of Weird War II. I also kept the off-white line markings to tie them in with the regular joes. Not quite how I imagined it in my mind, but it'll do.

And with a couple regular joes...

Those looks FANTASTIC!  Now get out there and bust some evil Nazi heads!

The worn and dirty look was definitely the right way to go with these.  Very cool.  

[marrony]

Very good indeed.Nice weathering too.Well played.

looks fantastic! im working on one myself, a really inventive color scheme there, its not too in your face, and it looks combat realistic

[twrchtrwyth]

Excellent, brilliant idea.

What about a shield? Should Cap have one in Weird War II?

What about a shield? Should Cap have one in Weird War II?

I was thinking that - maybe in the belt buckle area....

But even without it, its a great looking fig. Nicely done.

I had a suitable shield and was looking for a way to incorporate it, even strapped to the arm with the hand, but it just looked stuck on as an afterthought, so I left it off in the end.

And yes, WWII cap should have a shield (though in some versions it's not round). But no worries, he'll have one when I paint my dismounted versions of the characters.

Love it!!!

That Cap conversion is excellent!!! I agree about the choice of colour, not too "in your face" looking.
