it's funny how Hasbro's odd, yellow choco-chip resembles the Quds Force uniform--

Police presence in Kashmir
(really a stretch on this one, does not even remotely resemble the India RAF uniform but
this is a flashpoint in our pre-apocalyptic era, I'm very interested in how it all unfolds)

I'm not knowledable on the topic but they do look great. As for the hasbro uniforms, a lot of old 1/6 uniforms including hasbro, soldier of the world, and some 21st century toys uniforms don't resemble the ones they are supposed to, I guess they went for "Close to" and instead ended up making a uniform that was closer to another they had no intention of making.

They all look very good to me, but I know next to nothing about these guys and their uniforms.

Nice job on all of them. I worked as a private security contractor myself, but most of my experience was in business suits with concealed hardware (as much as possible) — only rarely did I have to gear up like the one you presented here.

Well, I hope you did not have to use that rocket launcher all too often. Anyway, respect to you, sir.

I like the Sunglasses-Iranian the most, the light looks very natural and hot, like midday sun in Jordan Valley. Or how imagine it.

But pre apocalyptic era? Do you know something we don't? Wink

Well, I never had an opportunity to use a rocket launcher (or a grenade launcher), and I didn’t do that kind of work for a government. Political exiles and private individuals was where I did my work (here in the States, and in South America). Dangerous times, but I was relatively young and wanted excitement — I got a LOT more than I expected, that’s for sure. With all the extra mini-me heads I’ve gathered, I’ve been debating sharing some of my experiences (but I have serious reservations). My motivations for doing that sort of work weren’t altruistic, or even politically motivated, as much as they were mercenary — I made serious money doing it; but it ultimately cost me a lot in the end — and not just financially.

Excellent bashes. Quite inspiring indeed. Good to see how you've put the good ol' Hasbro choco-chip uniform to good use. Thanks for posting these.

You are sharing a lot here already, thanks for the information. Please only do what you are comfortable with.

Wow, Ephiane, that’s awesome you’ve been able to visit Iran. Despite the fact that I have Persian heritage (my dad is from Iran), I’ve never been able to go. Not out of lack of desire, but because my family belongs to a religion that is heavily persecuted there (which is the reason my father fled his home country in the first place). It would be dangerous to try to visit, so I’ve sadly never been. I love to look at photos and dream about it, though. :’)

All i can say is the people there are very friendly. It´s the gouvernment that is ( censord )Laughing  like in many other countrys. I hope for You that will change and You can visit the Iran.

Sorry for highjacking the Thread. But i spended one the best nights of my live in my hotelroom in the Azadi In in Teheran. There´s no nightlife there, so we made a poker round with colleagues. Believe it or not.... i won ONE MILLION ( Iranian Riad )  Laughing  Not many People can say they won a million by a poker game

every Iranian I've ever met in Canada is very polite, friendly, generally soft-spoken and despises the Iranian regime. Their civilization is one of the oldest in the world but and the regime that runs Iran is simply not an accurate reflection of the people they govern.
