Russian Operator

In the beginning, the fig was made for the Lego Group: The Battlefront. Unfortunately two things happened: My life got busier and the group basically died. The year is supposed to be 2045 or something by the way.

 

The Russian Operator features very light stealth armor, meant mostly for assassins to use. However, a red targeting lens and tactical elbow pads and arm guards are present, which differs from the assassin uniform. A regular Tokarev pistol is brandished on the side, as part of the regulations that ALL russian service men and women carry at least one sidearm. The Operator sports a snow storm camoflage, first used and adapted by Vasili Kravchuk during the Koreapanese-Russian war in 2018. a heating system in installed behind the vest, along with recycling batteries to recharge the system. The rifle is a modified version of the standard assault rifle, having a scope and silencer attachment.

 

This fig took about 5 hours of work, mostly because I kept on changing parts. The faceplate is entirely sculpted, and the red targeting system is a piece of action figure sunglasses with a piece of needle at the tip to allow fro removal and movement. The vest (and the whole figure in fact) was inspired by Richard. The vest is a cut-up credit card with bits and pieces glued on. The mag pouches, the leg side pouch, the belt pouch, and the knee and elbow pads are sculpted. Th rifle is an interesting Sci-Fi gun that I picked up at Brickfair, with a Si-Dan silencer and a tiny tactical scope. A russian patch is on the left arm, while 3 armor piercing rounds are on the right. Lastly, the fig holsters a BrickArms Tokarev .

 

This is one of the figures I promised I would upload.
