since i have zero skill or patience to even attempt to do some customs, i thought I'd throw out some ideas...
Series 1 style - generic 'soldier' type...
RAF officer
Royal Navy officer
US Army officer
Soviet officer
using the Commander figure
Green Beret using

/

as the base
US Army Ranger - same base
UN Peacekeeper - same base
Series 2 - SAS/Z/Q/Space style
Desert soldier using

/

/

as the base
Arctic trooper either using same base as above or s1

figure.
desert trooper using

as the base
SEAL commando using

/

figure as the base, but with

/

arms to hold weapon (or even swivel arms...)
feel free to tell me where to go...
