Tears of the Sun (US Navy SEAL Team 8)
Hi all,
Well, after 3 odd years (I started it proper at the end of 2007, although “research” began in 2005), my Tears of the Sun project is finally done! Woot!
Before I go into anything else, I need to thank the following board members who helped immensely in getting me those needed items and/or helped me out:
- Alexei from Viking’s Playground
- Alyasha (advice and help with making Slo, Lake and Zee’s gloves)
- Major Rod, Ranger92 and royalewithcheese (for helping me with obtaining much needed parts)
- troopers1971 (help with LT and Lake’s head)
I enjoyed the movie the first time I saw it back in 2003, partly also because they were in woodland BDUs. When the show ended, I wanted to do a team equivalent in sixth scale. It was not easy then since many of the items were not available then. Over the last few years, with the explosion of numerous brands, most of the items became available. Ironic though, since the bulk of the items that I used are old-school DML, bbi and Toy Soldier. Still, I had to make some things, like their headphones and Zee’s radio.
This is also probably the toughest project that I have attempted. The process of getting the parts was crazy.  For instance, it took me two years to obtain Lake’s shotgun (thanks to royalewithcheese who pointed me to an Ebay auction). In addition, as those who have tried bashing this group can attest, it’s almost impossible to identify clearly each of their respective gear (movie was dark and they were moving around a lot). I can’t remember how many times I have watched the film, and the numerous times I went web-crawling for relevant images. I wanted to be as film-accurate as possible but there will still be some elements that I could not reflect accurately (Red’s MG strap was black for one, not green as is depicted here). I also know that I will not be able to get the exact sculpts (except for the Willis one) so I had to get approximates. I am generally satisfied with all except Silk’s. I am still in the hunt for a more suitable head-sculpt.
I uploaded a teaser thread last week and I hope that the pictures below will not disappoint. I will also like to do an outdoor shoot, hopefully sometime soon. Thanks for reading till here.
Ps. While satisfied as to what I have come up with, I am feeling more relief than anything else
Lieutenant A.K. Waters: Team Commander, Rifleman
