Many years ago, I met “Nick” at the Tier 1 events we both attended and we’ve kept in touch ever since.
One night we were chatting about the new ProForce SIG SAUER® MCX and he said that he would like to have one to match his Dutch Dienst Speciale Interventies (Special Intervention Service), or DSI loadout. Nick said “…as a DSI reenactor I wanted to have a proper replica of the MCX that is used by the DSI. As soon as I heard that SIG SAUER would make an airsoft version of the Virtus MCX, I contacted John. I asked him if he would help me make a 1 on 1 replica, because I knew John is the man who could achieve what I wanted.”
After I was shown a few pictures I said: “That would be a good project.” and he said… “Will you build it for me please?”
“Nick” started airsoft back in 2004 with a team called “Blackwater CRG”, based around the (then) popular Private Military Contractors (PMC) style of loadout. Later he was also a founding member of the Dutch airsoft team “Nassau03”, which re-enacted Dutch Special Forces in airsoft MilSims in the UK, France, Belgium and Sweden. “Nick” said “Personally, the TIER1 MilSims (lead by a group of retired and serving Royal Marine Commandos) held in the UK were the best ones we attended.” However, around 2017/18 the MilSim games were not giving “Nick” the fun he wanted from airsoft, so he decided to reenact loadouts of the DSI.
