 Post subject: Sally Squad Waves 3.5 and 4=Pilot, Medic, Anti-Tank

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...
