So I decided to take a break from a few of my longer running work-in-progress customs to hop on a few that made for a quicker turnaround over the holiday break. I present to you Gen. Philip Rey and a yet un-named Cobra Commando/Mercenary.
I was very impressed with SPC Airbourne's take on Rey and not wanting to look like I outright stole his idea, I have to say that the recipe was perfect. I had all the pieces in house and only made select minor changes to fit my Rey. I took away the abdomen plate on Wraith's armor to get closer to Rey's actual shoulder pads and I modified his color scheme. I had started painting the body with a lighter tan and just though it was too light then switched over to a darker tan. I also wanted more green, on his armor, boots and gear made the decision to initially paint his sleeves green instead of using any camo. Upon completion I went back in and applied tan camo to the green sleeves and was very happy with the results. As for the yet un-named Cobra, this was an easy solution on what to do with that last unneeded Firelfy figure. No real mods other than painting up the backpack and trying to find the right weapon I think it was a great solution. I am also in the process of painting the sweater of the TRU pack FF blue and giving him the same gear to make a team out of them. Let me know what you all think. After this I am back on my list of uncompleted customs as well as a backdrop to shoot them all against.

Here's a 3/4 view of Rey as well. I have him geared up with a Marauder SCAR. I never ordered this gun, it just somehow ended up in an order I placed a while back. It was the first gun i painted as a test seeing it was a spare and after bouncing it around from figure to figure I think it found a home.
