Customized Soviet Spetsnaz
By: 101 AB


My latest project was to completely update an out of the box TUS figure to a much higher standard of quality, without adding or subtracting major elements of the original. Since there's still some relatively cheap 21st figures floating around the internet, I picked up the Spetsnaz rifleman and went to work.

Every major piece of gear on him is the original, only heavily modified. The only exceptions are the boots that I swapped out for the current DAM version to get the blousing right, and the addition of the TUS Makarov with a custom holster I made. The cloth pouches were done by applying athletic tape to the molded gear, and repainting, which I found to turn out pretty well.



































Wow! What a fantastic looking project old friend. I have to say that athletic tape was a stroke of genius, it looks so good. I love your face repaint too. Just a terrific looking project all the way around. Super A+ job on him! Special thanks for sending this one in and sharing it with us. - GL
