Finally have an update for this thread. On page 3 I was talking about doing something with ROC Flash, Firefly & Shockblast. See below. I'm not 100% on what my story is behind them but it's definitely post-apocalyptic. Firefly is the go-to guy, gets really dirty and handles most of the wetwork - hence being covered in blood. Flash is the long-range combatant of the crew - sniper rifles, laser rifles, etc. Shockblast is the explosions expert. I'm thinking of adding Copperhead to this group as the "muscle" or vehicle specialist of the group - we'll see. ;)
I really wanted them to represent their roles, by the paint jobs I gave them. I wanted to make sure Firefly showed the signs of close-combat.. blood and grime all over his outfit.. in the post-apocalyptic world, there aren't many laundry machines to run your fatigues through. Flash had to be pretty clean with his armor since he's usually far off from combat picking off anyone with his rifles. Shockblast - kind of in the middle. I used a lot of sanding on his shoulders and forearms to give the impression that his hsi gear had seen multiple explosions
My favourite part out of all of these is how Firefly's backpack turned out. I molded in grooves for his pistols so that they have somewhere to sit when he's not using them. ;D
