I got this interesting
figure from ebay. According to the seller and the info comes with the set.
It is made in 1997 by somebody in US and I believed that the maker is no
longer in business. Noted that this one is not those highly
detailed and accurate 1/6 custom pieces from the "UNITED
STATES COLONIAL MARINES". Anyway, I spent 2 days to "upgrade"
the trooper to give him a more battlefield look. I am not following
the actual outfit appeared in the movie but tried to recreate the trooper
from my own imagination
The first 2 pic's shows
the original outfit I received. An old 21st TUS with woodland camo outfit,
The quality of everything is good, but kinda raw.

I started with the weapons
first. Most of the gears looks very fine and I can tell the maker really
spent some efforts on them. Only one thing bothers me - the front
part of the Pulse Rifle is too bulky and doesn't look quite right, I ended
up changing the whole front part. I also add the slings for the rifle,
flame thrower and the motion tracker and weather all the gears. Pieces
and bits also added during the process; such as the scan screen, tubes,
pieces on the tracker and helmet camara...etc
new front part just
after gluing
