Oh... ok, sorry misunderstood.

here's a short tutorial for my balaclava.

You need:-
1 hole balaclava (preferbly new bbi SWAT)
needle
black thread

First turn the balaclava inside out.

carefully readjust the balaclava on an action figure head to properly stretch it and find point A and B (refer pic).

sew point A and point B together with black thread using needle. if you want to make the hole smaller, sew more, normally 5 stitches is enough.

remove the balaclava.

Turn the balaclava right side in and the place back on figure head. see if it needs adjustments (in case one hole is bigger then the other). normally it's hard to tell unless you did a BIG mistake.

To give the "evil eye" effect, stretch the mask downwards when it's on the figure head. to maintain the balaclava stretched, use some double sided tape on the neck of the figure and press the balaclava on the neck. alternatively, helmets can use to keep the balaclava stretched.

as promised, more pics

this is bloody brilliant..

thank you,
go try it yourself. it's a pretty simple mod.

any interests in this achilles figure? damn cool, for only 250 singapore dollars..

wow, that SASR figure is giving me ideas... would like to grab it, minus the figure and bdu. just interested in his kits.

anyway... after a long absence finally some pics of my weapon collection on my new weapon rack




my very first figure posing with the M-series carbine rack


AK rack. still wip

sweet... i wonder where u get ur rifle stand and that crates from

crates is DIY, i might post it later when i have to mood.

the center weapon rack is from world weapon set. does the job real fine holding my rifles.

as for the M-series and AK-series rack, it's perforated stainless steel sheet that i got off a metal workshop near my workplace. price not known, have yet to receive bill.

I have written a review for three 1/6 items: DID XM8, DID M14 and TS ACU Plate Carrier. The review can be found here.

While true that I can just copy and paste things, I keep getting strange warnings about exceeding image limit even though I didn't (the one I attempt to post is a thread-friendly version in XL-Toys forum), and everytime I tried to post the second part of the review, the thread went nuts and delete my previous post.

WOW, awesome review Hangmen
too bad that XL ran out of those XM8. if not would have one in my weapon rack.

Thanks. If you wanna check elsewhere, try The Falcon's Hangar. I sometimes buy from them when stocks here are not available or to receive stuff early before XL. I ordered the three items mentioned in the review from TFH about a week earlier before XL-Shop has em'.

I do payment via Telegraphic Transfer. You can ask TFH how to do it. For the bank of choice with the lowest TT charges, I'd say its Bumiputera Commerce (RM10) but I'm not so sure if there are any other banks lower than this.

bought these two also... if anyone is interested in more pics, i can post

Hot Toys USMC Sniper looks great, but its kinda bland considering the popularity of US Forces in the 1/6 market. However, I'd buy some of its accessories if it were to be sold loose.

Also, that kickass Face Hugger needs a nice face to kiss.

very cool figure with all those gears...

looks like he is wearing make up..

must... resist... poison...

USMC the sniper is really cool, only if they have it in ACU then i might be considering getting myself one.

more poison
