I plan on ordering some heads with berets from Gripping Beast and converting regular Capitol Heavy Infantry into Airborne troopers.  My paint desk is filled with SOKs

Warriors X 8
Blade Maidens x 8

I also need to order a bunch of bases for my warzone & chronopia figs cuz I'm using the 30mm lipped ones.

I got me some heavy inf and will be chopping theri wittle heads off.  I will be replacing them with beret heads from Gripping beasts' MOFO line.  Right now I have some Free Marines on the table as well as a couple of sea lions that I am testing their paint sheme on.  Hopefully be done with them by the 20th.

Just finished 5 free marines and my two Sea Lion test paints.  They came out well.  I'll be taking fotos this Tuesday.

Here is my latest installment of Capitol goodness.  I have the rest of the sea lions on painting stands and I just got a couple more characters.  I like how they came out.  You can really see their stands which have sand and "water" on them.  I flocked local beach sand and painted part of the bases blue and green.  I finished by putting a thin coat of super glue on the base which made the sand and "water" shiny.

I like how you converted the heads; added some individuality to figures that we all have sort of come to get bored with due to their commonality.

I have Major Torres, Special OPS chick and Jake Kramer's brother Snake Kramer.  I have found some awesome Colonial Marines by MOFO/Gripping Beast that I will be ordering soon along with the heads for my airborn troops.

I'm in my house and I still only have sporadic inter-net.  I need to get a new camera cable which is not a normal usb cable.  I have received some light Inf mortar teams and I got me some SHS heads for my airborne conversions.

What kind of camera do you have?  There are USB conversion kits at walmart for $12-$15 which might be cheaper than a new cord plus you will have everything you need. They come with a variety of heads including Kodak and Sony camera hookups and I think a couple of the others.

BTW, where in Texas are you located?  I grew up in Tyler and have family in Arlington, Texarkana, Tyler and Houston.
