    Looks great Andy. Thumbs up on all the extras and the machined barrel is an awesome idea.

    Man, the Barrett looks a right beast and I love how the line of it provides a natural cutoff for the bottom of the bust.

    Best of luck with it.

    Thank you all for the kind Remarks!!!
    Glad you guy's like this one...

    I think this kit has the most parts as a Bust kit.
    Wanted to give the modeler some options when they build this kit.
    "Thinking outside the Box"
    The Full Special Forces Sniper figure is in the works now. I am sculpting the legs for it.
    That will come with a base and a few New options for that kit.
    Will keep all of you posted on the release date for that...

    Working on another SF bust, That one has a SCAR-L rifle...

    And I can't forget the Brit fans....There will be a full figure of a
    "1/9 scale British Royal Marine in Afghanistan"
    He is climbing over a broken wall with his AS-80 rifle and full tactical gear....
    A lot of action in this figure....
    Alan Ball and myself worked on this figure.
    Just have to do a few more things before I mold it.
    Will post some sneak peak photo's sometime next week for you...
    Hopefully will be out around Christmas time..

    For those that ordered the Special Forces Sniper Bust - I am shipping the kits out today.

    Thanks again for all the kind remarks,

    I saw this release in person.

    I saw this piece at Model Palooza last weekend and I must say the bust is even nicer when it is right in front of you.

    This is an amazing piece and one I will have in my collection.

    Kudos to all who were involved in this project, highly recommended!

    Cheers,

    Just to let you know- For the mate's over sea's - I had to up the price for shipping just a little bit. to $10.00 it's still a very good deal.
    It's bin costing me $12.00 to $15.00 for the over sea's orders.
    I am still paying the differents.

    Hope you all understand.

    Very kind of the offer Tony.
    I appreciate that....Not to worry..
    For those that I already sent out the kits, they are OK with the shipping.
    Just couldn't keep it up with the price for over seas...
    I am trying to keep the shipping over seas as cheap as possible for you guys'.

    Thank you for understanding.

    Great work, Andy and Alan! Your Spec Ops figures surely add a "large scale" element to the modern figure market and show that not everything has to come in 1/35 or 120mm scale. Furthermore, the figures sure "bump up" the timeline of U.S. and U.K. troops closer to 2011 timeframe instead of keeping them back in the 1990s BDU days.

    Thanks!

    Andy,

    Do you intend to update your website? I've noticed that there are some products there that aren't listed, such as your 1/32 tractor and this Sniper bust.

    So is pF the first place we'll see your new figures? And if we want to buy something not on your website, do we contact you here?

    Thanks.
