BF4: US Recon

Danny Parish ( [sM] SneakyPete) makes the best modern warfare-related video game figures I've seen using simple combos and paint. His uses of Tiny Tactical, CitizenBrick, EclipseGrafx, and Brickarms are always great and look very nice together. He has recently been making several of the classes from BattleField 4 and is off to a great start. The Recon Class is one of my favorite classes in the game so far (only played a little bit), and Danny has done a great job of creating the class in LEGO. He used Tiny Tactical pieces to make the vest, modified a black LEGO ninja hood, and used a new (unreleased) CitizenBrick torso for the arms and (I think, I can see it :P) torso. This is one of his more simple figs, but one of my favorites from him.

When I saw Detroitika's latest fig I was blown away. The level of detail in it is freakin' insane! From the removable clip on the gun to the custom sculpted gloves, this fig just looks stunning. I just love the camo pattern on the fig and how clean and well painted it looks, and the weathering on the gun looks very nice, as well. But the gloves and boots are definitely my favorite parts. The gloves are sculpted by Detroitika himself, and have so much detail in them that I literally did a double-take when I saw them. I thought they were painted! And the boots I thought exactly the same of until I looked back at them! This fig just incredible.

Saint_Zvlkx/Kalon always makes me jealous of his tiny tactical, citizenbrick, and eclipsegrafx collections with everything he posts, but he doesn't use them to make bery simple combos with no work put into them; he always makes awesome custom mods to go with the figs or paints the gear on them or the legs. I always look forward to his next post. His latest figbarf is definitely one of my favorites. The tiny tactical parts on the eclipsegrafx legs look great, the tinytactical vests he made look very clean and organized, and the mods look very cool. Great job, Kalon!

.mclovin.'s back! :D And he certainly has made an awesome fig with his return, maybe his best! The Ghille Suit looks fantastic, and very well made, the camo on the gun is just plain awesome (as is the gun itself! :D), the vest is very clean, the sculpted almost baggy looking pants look great, the camo on the paints is perfect, and the lower face mask is just awesome! Great work Chris, glad you've finally returned :)

I've been trying not to blog people twice so close to the first time I blog them, but this deserves it. Holy crap, this fig is awesome! Where to start with this fig? Well the rifle is one of the cleanest mods I've seen in a very long time, and just looks fantastic. I really like the use of the BrickWarriors ABP scope and what looks like a custom barrel. And the pistol in the Holster is incredible! Sure, it looks a tad bit small, but the paintjob on it is great! And the holster itself is definitely not to be missed! The hands are my second favorite part, though. Dang, the details on them are just stunning, and they are so detailed! It must have been very hard to paint them and sculpt them without messing them up or having to redo them. The gasmask just looks great, the merge with the Lego helmet is genius, and the tupe is very well done. The paint on it looks very nice, as well. But my favorite part is the sleeves. The detail put into them is insane! And the pocket on the right shoulder is just awesome!

General JJ may not paint very much, but they sure do make great custom minifigs using 3rd-party products! They have always been two of my favorite flickr members that don't modify parts in any way at all, yet still make utterly fantastic builds and figs that tend to leave me speechless. The combo of EclipseGrafx Delta Strike Force legs with the CitizenBrick Special Forces Torso and printed helmet looks great! And the CombatBrick vest compliments everything quite nicely. But the background scenery is also one of my favorite things about this picture/scene/vig/upload (:P). The texturing on the ground and the way the bushes are set up (especially the one in the foreground of the photo) is perfect!

A Civilian hasn't posted any new custom minifigures in a little while, but this new upload of his excuses his lack of custom figs for sure :P A Civilian has always been great at painting camo (http://www.flickr.com/photos/theoneandonlyacivilian/8386274431/), but this reminds everyone of that in case they had forgotten. The paintjob on the AK looks very nice, and so does the vest, but what really caught my attention was the eyepiece. It's an upside-down minifig.cat headset with the microphone painted red. It's absolutely genius! If you have extra time, I definitely recommend checking out A Civilian's photostream and looking at any of his 3A Toys (?) figure pictures, painted LEGO figures, and Batman builds.
