I have sent all the new parts to the caster, so hopefuly Floyd will have some inventory to ship soon.

Good deal. I'm in for one. Added to the stickied 1/35 Helicopter Crew Figures post too.

thought I would post a couple of shots of the conversion of the original figure with the bare head and the stetson.

If I may be so bold as to venture an opinion, they all look great, but the 'stachio'd Stetson looks the best. I also recommend the helmet under the arm vice the M-16. M-16 would have been a bit unwieldy for a chopper of that size. Not saying the M-16 is wrong, simply that I think the helmet looks more appropriate to the occasion to me.

He looks great. I really like the mustachioed CAV pilot. When will they be available for sale?

I will have them for sale at Mosquitocon in Wayne, NJ this weekend.

They will be on sale by Monday April 6th. They should show up on the website and EBay about then. There are currently two figures for sale for $16USD each plus shipping. Both are in this post.

Figure 1 is a Vietnam Cavalry Trooper. It will have the Stetson and the head without the hat.

Figure 2 will be a Vietnam Helicopter Crew Member. This one will have two heads, helmet and no helmet. It will also have two arms, one with an M-16 and one with an M-60.

Thanks to Doug for letting me sell these gorgeous figures. The 1/24th scale Huey crew figures are coming as well.

He is working on something 'special' for the IPMS/USA Nationals, if you know what I mean.
