HISSTank.com member Hector Delgado got to work restoring and updating this old ARAH Dress Blues Gung Ho and finished just in time for Memorial Day weekend ! ! !
Fully restored from years of rough play, Gung Ho also received the following updates…
His patches are still a gunny Sarg.
His marksmanships are done over in Bare Metal foil, and his gold is done with a Leafing pen for the burnished 14kt look.
Happy Memorial day 2010

Hey Guys. It's Memorial day just less then a week away. I've been hard at work to restore a Gung Ho that has seen better days. Well most of his work was finished not long after I had received him...
I had received a dress marine Gung Ho from Hanrahan, but unfortunately he was a mess which also left him with no waist. some real bad paint scratches, his hat was yellowed, and his shoes baddly chipped.. I got to work on him right away! T
A huge Thank you to Hanrahan for the major parts of the figure, CTG Links for the parts I needed. Thanks brother! I owe ya one!
And to Wampuscat for the very hard to find sword Yer an ace in my book!
M.B.T. Mauler is a restored piece by Hisstanker Hanrahan.
Thanks to !!Snake -Eyes!! for lending me photos of his USMC dress cover as reference for the hat !
Ok.. On to the good stuff, Comments are welcome.

I wanted GH to have an updated ribbon set. And so here they are. The ribbons on his chest are these,scaled down, and printed into a label, laminated and used.
His patches are still a gunny Sarg.
His marksmanships are done over in Bare Metal foil, and his gold is done with a Leafing pen for the burnished 14kt look.
Happy Memorial day 2010

I was really hoping that the 25th comic pack with Gung-Ho and Fred-Cobra Commander was going to include GH in his Dress Blue uniform. Still would like to have one in 25th style.

I saw him at Frank & Sons a few months back. He was all banged up but still regret not getting him. That is a note worthy figure and should only be displayed.

Leather Neck, BeachHead.. It'd really be something to see them in their uniforms, aside from their battle dress.
