Here is my WIP... I know not much to show you guys, but Iwanted to display the detail that in which I break these figures down.
I have about four coats of Tamiya Flat black on these. I dilute the black paint with water and windex so it goes on super smooth. Takes longer, but the end product looks a hell of a lot better. I will make them in the same colors I did the last one... follow link. http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-jo...dow-guard.html However, I am wondering what color scheme to make the Squad Leader and Officer. I plan on making a Female CSG as the Officer to round out the 5-man squad to 6. It will take some sculpting and patience, but I think I can pull it off. And I will use Fred's head with removable helmet for the Squad Leader.I was thinking of painting the center area with black buttons a dark gray color for the Officer and a lightget shade of gray for the Squad leader. What do you all think? Input is welcome!! More pics below! Last edited by Marine_Deadpool; 01-20-2009 at 03:54 AM.. |

Slowly, but surely I am getting these completed. I had to take a break because my wife gave birth to our second son on Jan 13th. Now that he is here, I have slacked off on making customs.
Anyhow, here are some progress pic. Not much, but you get the idea. I painted four of the CSG like the first one I did, and then did something different to separate the Squad Leader from the troops. CSG Squad Leader, I painted the center area a dark gray and added two red stripes around the cuff of both sleeves and down his legs. Paint looks a little off in the leg pic, but it will flatten out when I dull coat it. (There is actually a little bit of touch I need to do on his ribbons now that I see it through the eyes of a Macro Lens.) As a squad leader, he is an Non Commissioned Officer (NCO) and we NCO's in the Marine Corps have the "Blood Stripe" down the outside legs of our trousers. Same theory applied here. CSG Trooper, similar to the other one I did. But I did paint one red stripe around the lower cuff of his sleeves. Hope to have these finished up by friday.
