| I was at KAYBEE Toys & I saw the 13 inch NBA ALL-STAR figures for $4.99. So, for the price I figured I could do something with him. The other NBA guys were smiling, so I figured Scotty Pippin because of his facial hair (SEAL's wore goatees in VN), would be the best one for a VN era Navy SEAL kit bash. A TUS tiger stripe shirt fit him great. But, the pants were way too tight. A pair of SOTW VN era OD jungle fatigue pants worked great because they are so roomy to begin with. As for boots, a pair of the Cotwold's lace up jungle boots fit very well, the other brands were just too small. He is wearing mostly TUS MIKE FORCE equipment with the exception of the Claymore bag & the M-79. I have him standing next to his teammate Vinny, so you can see the differences in size. I have also included two photos of the boots. -- Bac Si |
| Wow! Great looking soldier there Bac Si. Ol' Pippin looks great as a Vietnam trooper. Great work on the gear choices. Keep up the terrific work buddy! Special thanks for sending this in and sharing it with us. -- GL |
