Great camo & the parts work perfectly.

goddamn, I like that!

Bravo on pulling the inspiration from such a random source... the movie was damn good but I never imagined a custom toy based on a character from it, totally loving that someone did think of it. And it's Arnold Vosloo as well so that's extra awesome.

the recipe perfect matches up with the reference pictures, great work on all of, especially considering your fucked up appendage.

JD, that's really nice of you, i really appreciate your comments. I wouldn't myself have thought of a Blood Diamond inspired toyline but i always keep my eyes open for military characters/designs in movies, i never know whether i can make a custom of them

I love the camo. I never saw the movie though:( I need to see what other movies he's been in. The guys in the background would be cool to see too.
