I was able to grab the old Hot Toys Hicks and Vasquez figures cheap-ish after a loooong hunt. Was wanting those for ages!
After tossing the base bodies and the Hicks headsculpt, I took the brush to both figures and here is where they stand - still WIP:

Mods I made include repainting some gear, adding a new knife sheath, new padlock, add a helmet band for our beloved corporal and weathering all armor parts.
Once Hicks' new headsculpt arrives, more painting will follow - Vasquez' head will also be repainted, she has a seamless body on the way to me.

Now I would totally love to get the rest of the squad. :D

Corporal Hicks has a has a head for now.
Not the final Biehn sculpt, but better than headless!

Sixth scale Hot Toys Hicks is now joined by Vasquez, who finally got her body and a much needed repaint today.
Vas now has brown eyes, a teardrop tat and some more shading on her face.
The new body is a seamless joints affair and the proportions are pretty "Jenette":

Looking forward to seeing your squad in the future.
I am so tempted to get more of these guys.... but they're pricey most of the time.

I did mostly finish Drake, Vaz, Gorman, Ferro and Spunkmeyer. The progress can be seen here (mostly armor upgrades page 1, full figures on page 2)
viewtopic.php?f=3&t=16299&hilit=full+squad+rebuild&start=25

My other troopers all have completed and customized bodies/armor/etc...but I have just been putting off on learning to paint heads! Got derailed late 2017...

I showed these pictures to my husband when I first found this topic because the head-sculpts are scary-accurate. Looking forward to seeing the rest.
