Links to previous Sally Squad figures: Sally Squad Wave 1: Support and Spec-Ops Sally Squad Wave 2: Engineer and Assault Sally Squad Wave 3: Assault Wave 3 was supposed to include me, but I scrapped the Torch head I was modding when I realized this Star Wars head was a better likeness. This is me as the Pilot, which isn't an actual class in the game, but out of everyone I was the one who could fly the Black Hawk without crashing BEFORE most of the squad bailed. I also like the Medic class, so my figure is carrying one of the unlockable weapons for that kit. And as I painted him, I realized his flight suit was starting to look a lot like a Ghostbuster uniform so I painted the nametag area black and red as a bit of an homage. Wave 4 consists of a really good friend of mine and his wife, both of whom are actual Marines and will hopefully forgive all the inconsistencies and artistic license I took on the figure designs. As I told them, like any good GI Joe figure, they forgo realism for what looks cool (and what parts were available). He's our Medic, and she likes the Anti-Tank class. I really like how both of these came out. Still working on a few more accessories, and looking into adding straps to some of the weapons, so there will be some updated group shots eventually. But for now, this is SALLY SQUAD! |

Still digging this entire series. The color consistency ties everyone together, but there's clearly a lot of thought and individual detail that went into each character design. |

I just checked out the rest of your team! Awesome! Great series and work! If the Pilot is you, I'd say there's also a resemblence to Joe Colton here. |

Thanks guys, I've actually been recovering from surgery for the past 8 weeks and this project has been a nice thing to keep me occupied. Working on finishing up some detail accessories, and I'd like to come up with some sort of dio-display for them. |

really digging the new additions. The paint is so crisp and clean. And your self custom could also work as a Billy Mays homage... |

Nice! Oh hey if you make a vehicle crew you could use a 25th Airborne helmet. |
