Marbo conversion

I decided to create a favorite amongst guard players, Sly/Guardsman Marbo. I know how everyone likes Rambo as their favorite infiltrator but I prefer another. Being a big fan of Metal Gear I made my Guardsman Marbo to resemble Solid Snake.

I converted my Marbo using the Catachan sprue and a carapace jacket and bottom half of a guardsman from the cadian sprue. I filed down the blouse part of the bottom half to look like regular pants and I also filed off the eagle on the chest of the carapace armor. I then added the pistol, head, and knife arms from the catachan sprue. I added some green stuff on the the head to make his hair longer and similar to snakes hair in Metal Gear Solid when he infiltrated Shadow Moses. *If your wondering about the demo charge its in his back pouch. Let me know what you guys think. I dry brushed the entire model with codex grey then the armor and hands black. His skin is painted with dwarf flesh.
