US Navy Seal

A USN SEAL operating in a village in Uruzgan Province, Afghanistan, under ISAF's Special Operations Joint Taskforce in 2013.

 

This has been in the works a long time, and I greatly thank everyone who helped me out in the many annoying snakeskin camo pictures. Without all of your opinions and support, I would have done something that would have been...not this, and not as good. (I will post a followup picture in a few days, showing my attempts at methods you guys suggested.)

 

Some fun stuff! The vest used to be a Combatbrick plain plate carrier, and the helmet used to be a Combatbrick Modern Warfare helmet. Having TT fit and glue the headset mic was completely worth it. Steve's handiwork is as precise and excellent as his moldwork. Also, I chose not to include the pistol on his SEAL patch, since it would clog up the logo I had already painted.

 

Sorry to exhaust you, and most readers, you'll want to stop now. This is everything.

 

He wears:

Merrel Sawtooth boots

Pants with pockets like Crye G3 combat pants and padless knees the HPFU pants in AOR2

TMC belt in AOR1

Mechanix M-Pact gloves

Crye G3 Combat Shirt in AOR2

LBT 6094 plate carrier in AOR1

Rothco Medium Transport Pack in AOR1 (not visible in photo)

Condor Kangaroo AR15&pistol pouches in AOR1

Emerson MP7 Pouchesin AOR1

MSA Sordin Headset (by Tiny Tactical)

Lancer Tactical FAST helmet

and carries a Mk18 in, at last, snakeskin camouflage.

 

Thank you so much, and really, thank you guys--many of you!--for your help with the snakeskin. Have a great day!
