I neglected to post the finished project on one of the troopers... their Chopper Pilot.
I thought I would wait until I actually named her/through up a bio, and got some SB-Troopers, but being how well that's working I'd thought I'd share and see if anyone had ideas for a name.

Parts used:
Star Wars head
Pilot Scarlett Body, Backpack, and Webgear
Baroness Rifle
Pit Trooper Helmet

Now... without her helmet...

Image

Image

And now without the webgear (don't expect to see This again... if that webgear was a pain before, after god-knows how may coats it becomes even WORSE)

Image

Image

Image

And... the action shot. When they finally re-stock PoC around here I intend to army-building Steel Brigade troopers to flesh out these things a little better... and, y'know, put her in a chopper....

Very clean. I really like the crisp paint work you did on this one. As for a name maybe Prop Wash, Box Office [if she is flying the bird than it really can't be called a cockpit ;)], Cyclic, Big Mother. Again, great job.

Thanks everyone... it took a LOT of work getting thoes greens to cover over the Blue on her webgear... and to get that sand to cover the silver.

Well, My Steel Brigade fig's name was Steel Fist (which was printed as Steel Fish on the bio card due to my sloppy handwriting). I had considered having Steel in each name... but then reconsidered as it sounded a might cheesy. I'd considered Kestrel... but I think that's taken... isn't it?

How about naming her Vector? I had used it for a female I made, but it was nowhere as good as this.

Vector does sound interesting. I had considered Evac for like... 10 seconds, before thinking of the codename Valkyrie.

It could fit. Being she's a chopper pilot who 'brings them home' (only unlike real Valkyries they hopefully won't be dead)... and if she where of Norweigan descent.

looks great.



would have been the perfect time to remove the helmet to show a brawler head underneath

UPDATE: Just managed to sit down and work on a Bio... LMK what you think...

Codename: Valkyrie
Real Name: Svenson, Tatiana
PMF: Helicopter Pilot
SMF: Emergency Medical Technician
Birthplace: Oslo, Norway

A naturalized citizen to these United States, Tatiana has always been a caring yet rambunctious free spirit… traits that made the prospect of flight so alluring to her. After her first ride in a helicopter, she was hooked. By the age of 16 she’d gotten a pilots license, and when she was 18 she enlisted in the guard…. When she had put in her time she’d left an exemplary record behind her, listing 15 successful extractions in hostile territory with minimal casualties, despite what was classified as ‘unconventional flying’. She enjoyed a brief stint of civilian life after finishing medical school, working as the chopper pilot for a local hospital… but she still felt something missing. She felt she could do more. After she enlisted in the Air Force… she got her chance…


“Valkyrie is one of the latest members of our team. She’s had little trouble endearing herself to the other members, even among the rank and file. She’s constantly on the go... hardly stopping for anything… something that shows in combat situations. In the heat of action, wither she’s taking fire or returning it, her energy level goes through the roof... at that point you’d better be strapped in, because she will push that bird to its utmost limit. She might fly like a lunatic, but we can always count on our Angel to bring us home.”
