Operational Detatchment Alpha Build

The Operational Detachment Alpha Vignette I am working on consists of three 1/35th scale resin figures from Legend Productions Korea and a selection of aftermarket weapons from TANK and LiveResin. The three Special Forces operators are simply standing in a casual manner examining a weapons cache, prisoners or taking a much needed rest after a tough day in the field. They all will be wearing US MULTICAM and will be carrying typical Special Operations weapons including SCAR-Ls and an M4.

Pictured is the first figure cleaned and assembled; the Legend figures are cast resin so they carry all of the usual mold waste and casting blocks which need to be removed prior to assembly. One point in their favor is that the blocks are well placed at the base of the feet and on the triceps of the arms. I would advise caution when removing some of the flash from the inner legs as some lines run above or along intended trouser seams. The weapons were also resin and also came with blocks to remove, the LiveResin SCARs have a particularly useful block on the base plate of the polymer magazines which I used as a clamping point while painting. One of the coolest things about the LiveResin weapons is that the attachments (vertical fore grips, lights, lasers, sights) are all intended to be mounted on their respective rail lines which are molded in high relief. This small but satisfying detail makes these weapons unreal! Hical, James
