 Post subject: Sally Squad! Wave One: Support and Spec-Ops

My close group of friends were really into playing Battlefield 2 for a while, we had a lot of fun with it. We always named our Squad "Sally" (long story), and I decided I should make over the top, GI Joe versions of our Battlefield classes.

The figures incorporate a mix of the closest head sculpt I could find of a friend, with various elements taken from their preferred class's in game model. There will hopefully be 8 in all, and these are the first two, Support or Spec-Ops.

I really like how they came out, I'd been dragging my feet on them for a long time (most of the parts used were brand new when I selected them, that'll tell you how slow I am).

I need to find some custom gear for them, trying to identify whether some real world weapons are available in 1:18 scale.

Something about the way these guys photographed reminds me of old Hasbro ads, I'm really pleased with the way they look!

I like where this is headed. Very clean and crisp painting from what you've shown us here so far, to be sure.

I agree, tons of character yet still militaristic. Keep them coming.

Thanks guys! I placed an order at Marauder's today so I'll have some gear for the Spec-Ops soon, and "Wave Two" should be done later this week. I appreciate the feedback!

These are very nice. Simple, sharp designs and well-painted.
