🕑 Added 2022-01-10 17:28:07 +0000 UTCUpdate 30.01.2022 - Extra bits! I've added some North Korean heads wearing their distinctive caps to Stash o' Bits, so if you want to make some Cold War North Koreans using the Africans bodies (for example) - feel free to go ;) I've also added heads suited to fit some wide known manufacturer of plastic minis.
Update 28.01.2022 - Last pose done! As i promised, last model (female for Sergeant tier) represents conservative Muslim woman. Her right hand will, of course, be with a ball-joint, so you can always give her a shopping bag... or a pistol... or even AKM, who knows? And of course - i look forward to your comments!
Update 23.01.2022 - Two more poses done! The guy will go to Sergeant tier and woman will be 4th pose for Corporal (or not, depending on your opinions). So, one more woman to go, she will be more traditional, with a skirt and covered face.
Update 18.01.2022 - Third pose done! This time i've decided to make someone looking like "ordinary MENA working guy", clothed in hoodie, sportive pants, heavy boots and very angry. I've also decided to make an extra variation of body to have options with hoods on and off for greater diversity. Tomorrow i'll be working on one extra male pose for Sergeants, and after that will start working on females.
Update 15.01.2022 - First pose done! Second pose done! It's been a very productive week for me as i've managed to make not just one, but two poses! I hope you like 'em!
Update 12.01.2022 - First pose preview, first head WIP! I really liked suggestions of Evan Burr and Da kine about less dynamic poses, so now i can present a first pose - some random dude walking from local grocery, texting someone via his smartphone. I've tried to give him a modern-ish look without getting stereotypical, so decided to just make a trimmed beard and haircut i've seen on the photos, coupled with a shirt and jeans. Boots are just placeholder, don't look at them D: Please comment and share your opinions, should i continue this way?
Hello everyone!
As MENA civilians (unsurprisingly) won the poll, i can start working on models.
So i want to check if any of you have ideas or preferences you'd like to be discussed and taken into account?
From what i see on the photos from Egypt, Syria and Iraq, people out there wear mostly the same cloth you can find anywhere in the world, with a obvious difference of facial features and hair.
For now i'm planning to make:
For Corporal - three males and one female
For Sergeant - one more male and one more female
They'll be kinda-modular (with traditional legs-torso-head, hands will likely be together with body)
Feel free to comment and propose your ideas for poses (well, moral support is fine too ;) )!

The M
Very nice. The last one could maybe be modelled as if she was carrying something in her left hand.. I think the folds are a bit too regular on the back. A bit variety would be nice. The other woman pose is my favourite
Stas
It will be with socket 100% because i want it to be compatible with the bag i made for Bundeswehr
Big Nick Rethemeyer
Go socket on the arms. That way we can have gym bag, grocery bag, something like a hammer, or small arms for variety
