These range from LBC to week long ventures.

Last but not least my Roadpig (Thanks to Kambie for the idea)

Here's his Bio . . .

Donald DeLucca walks the path of the vengeful man.
He was a New Jersey Highway Patrol Officer when the "Dead End" virus broke out, causing the death of his wife and daughter, as well as other family members. Even years after the "cleanup" Donald wasn't the same. He never got over his loss, and became obsessed with finding the people responsible for creating the virus. Knowing he was about to be discharged, because of growing abuse complaints, Donald quit the Highway Patrol and went rogue. Following a lead, he bleached his flattop and joined a biker gang called the Dreadnoks. He now goes by the name "Roadpig".

Swet work on all of these but I have to say that the Umbrella Troopers are my favorite (Still trying to figure out how to make RE work in my 'verse ;) )!

Very cool work all around :)

Nice work on the Darktrooper, John. I'm thinking I might have to redo my paintjob. Is your guy gonna work for Dr Doom, as his colors make me think (pretty much everytime I see green and black together)?

Rippy needs some painting done to complete him, bro. Just in case you've not noticed he's got a brown neck, lol.

Easy cheesy. Umbrella Corp's a wholly-owned subsidiary of Extensive Enterprises unknowingly contracted to work on biochem weapons for eventual delivery to COBRA. Things get out of hand and they proceed more or less as they do in the games (or movies as you prefer). Then you can make a special anti-T-virus squad for both your COBRAs and Joes once in-house Umbrella security can't handle the break-out.

That would work if I had a Joe 'verse, but I am referring to the specially tailored Star Wars Universe that is my playground ;)

Man, these all look great. Love the idea for Ripcord, might have to try it myself.

Consider those Umbrella troops swiped... if I could ever find the figures. How did you do the logo?

Really diggin' the Umbrella Troops & Dark Trooper. If only I could find things at retail... :-/

Post subject:  Re: A few new ones

Thanks, gents. :-D

I got lucky and found the 4 Umbrella troops at retail. If I see more I'll pick 'em up and let you guys know.

Marasai- the logo is a print out that I sealed with packing tape then glued to their backs. I look at the back logo as an attachment to the web gear similar to what cops wear (when it says POLICE on them.)

Dan, I think bringing in RE is actually fairly easy- basically someone doing Bio-weapon experiments. So that can fit in anywhere.

Jimbo- Yeah I know about the neck. Just didn't have time to paint it last night. With Darktrooper I was thinking a kind of HALO Spartan. I had planned to do several like that, but it was such a [LASER BLAST] to do that I'm just leaving it at one. And I went with the green for a military look. I still may or may not add weathering effects to him.

Any chance of a cast Gung-Ho head? Didn't know the original was tough to locate :(

Post subject:  Re: A few new ones

Nice work on all,
The Gung ho looks so much better with that head.
Ripcord works well.
The Trooper looks just like the one sitting on my work table half painted in the same color scheme, So nice figure ;-)
