Platoon " Doc "

Hi all , if you not seen the Movie Platoon . ( Then you really should ) . This figure is going to look like another Vietnam war Kit bashed figure . But I have added him to my bunch of other Platoon Movie related figures , and this is Doc . Not one of the main characters , but I thought the sculpt resembles the actor Paul Sanchez , and so went with it . Like many medics , Doc keeps a piece of plastic tube in his web harness , amongst other things as a tourniquet to tie off those bad wounds . I used a Cotswolds claymore bag , far to under scaled for the real deal , but will suffice as a medic bag for Doc . Most medics tried to look like the rest of the grunts as they were prime targets for the NVA and Vietcong . Perhaps close to reality , I don`t recall seeing Doc using his M16 in the movie . Anyway here he is .

I like your kitbash a lot, although I think the head sculpt resembles actor Jonathan Rhys Meyers.

Great figure, and I love the detail of the necklace and the tubing. Very cool.

Oh ! ...so he does . I remember him now I searched from the Bend it like Beckham film . I think if I get the confidence , I need to thicken up Docs Moustache a bit more . Glad you liked him anyways . I don`t really take to much notice of who sculpts are based on , if they work for the characters I am trying to create that works for me . I think I got a few Asian pop stars amongst my Vietcong and NVA too

Thank you .

Another quality bash Chippers! I really like the sculpt on this chap, and more importantly, how close it looks to his movie counterpart. You have a great knack for finding just the right head for each character, brilliant work mate!

Great figure. I really love to see uniforms from all the eras. Like the peace symbol. Maybe he need more stuff at his helmet. Claims, cigarrets....

Beautiful choice of a head sculpt, never seen this one before. He looks like some saint or white Jesus in camo. Tubing is a nice detail.

He looks great. I like all the little touches. It's been so long since I watched Platoon, but this guy does seem to resemble the actor. Nice job.

Thanks for the further kind compliments , much appreciated .

He's looking good, I love your vietnam bashes.
