Minor Custom: 25th Anniversary Wetsuit
Wetsuit was not one of my favourites but soon became one only because of his daring exploits in Marvel Comics.
His original gear was sparse and he was not even armed. Later on, he was re-released in a manner befitting his personality. Mines on his shoulder and a gun, finally.
The 25th anniversary Wetsuit is what he ought to be in the first place. Interesting colours with the teeth to boot.
Of course, I could not resist making his helmet more accurate so…

In addition, I issued to him the Stoner LMG from ROC Ripcord as it is distinctly a SEAL weapon. A little out of scale, I admit. I may end up letting Wetsuit use an MP5A4, instead.
That, and a Kabar. I have mental images of the rightful mess Wetsuit could do with a Kabar in shallow water with Cobra Eels.

See that ?
That is a face you do not wish to trifle with…
I have encountered problems using golden yellow so I am still not satisfied. I will have to try Vallejo next.
Incidentally, the helmet is from Rise of Cobra’s Flash.
You would think that it was really meant for Wetsuit in the first place…

The ROC Flash mask works! Love that LMG, reminds me of the Bren.
I was thinking of reconfiguring the magazine feed to the bottom. I usually see this configuration with old Vietnam war SEAL pictures.
Besides, unlike the Bren, this rifle has no proper aiming sights.
Nice one John! That Stoner can really kick Cobra ass!
I like the Stoner. Gives a refreshing change over the usual M4gery
