I'll have 1, so another 1 for a 3 person unit or 2 for a 4 person unit.

I couldn't find a clear picture of the real Walter McDaniel so I went with Wesley Snipes instead as a base (although I modified his facial structure a fair bit to distance his appearance from the actor, given that there's a fair bit of negative connotation surrounding him these days).

Not all of them. It's an FLETC course, so it's more geared towards law enforcement and criminal investigation personnel (federal and military) but it's open to anybody int he armed forces so long as they meet the pre-requisites.
It's a Military Airlift Command program tailored specifically for USAF Security Forces, its main purpose being to train security personnel in advanced anti-terrorism in support of airlift missions and airfield defense. It's not exactly special operations forces-equivalent... it's somewhat functionally similar to the USMC's FAST (Fleet Anti-terrorism Security Team) program. |

Notice that they fixed the whole Freefall/Altitude issue and just made him Freefall.

They did? We haven't seen a file card yet. But I see that. Interesting. Too bad we won't get Freefall. Although this sort of opens up the possiblities to a SkyPatrol set.
By the way Zulu Airwave is still my favorite that you've done. Although Tollbooth may be next. Not sure what it is. |

Love that update.

I don't have a clear-cut favourite myself, although Torpedo is probably up there, just because of all the work it involved. I composited the Torpedo image from about a dozen separate images and it involved extensive digital airbrushing.

Torpedo is one of my top 10 Favs. Just making him an LDO, and all that entails add so much depth to his character. The image is great as well. A real Clean Crisp design. Although I hate to say it, Big Lob I like as well. Sci-Fi is awesome. Mercer is all around great. Duke just looks like a badass. Armadillo and Dodger, and Wildcard also look spectacular. Those 3 were in DIRE need of a make over plus all the re-purposing you did with them is outstanding. And Of Course Gung-Ho no matter what.

Did I mention Airborne, Deep-Six, Barbeque, Budo, Cutter, Doc, Blizzard, Footloose, Covergirl, Colton, Lifeline, Heavy-Duty, Keel-Haul, Lady-Jaye, Leatherneck, Mace, Mainframe, Chuckles, Recoil, Rampart as a SEAL!, Red Dog, Skystriker, Slipsteam, Stretcher. I might add Star-Duster and Super Trooper to my top 10 as well.
You're filecards are spot on , but these were some of my favorite images you compiled. They looked the most like they may be on the cover of a Magazine. We Still haven't seen Rapid-Fire, Crazylegs, Skydive, Drop-Zone, Long Range, (Major Storm gone?), Tracker, Wet-suit, Static-Line, Cloudburst, Backblast, Altitude, Sub-Zero, Tripwire, Clean Sweep, Cross Country, Updraft,and Dog Fight. I guess I've been keeping tabs sort of. |

Thanks for the kind words, man. Muchly appreciated.
I'm actually caught in between using Sub-Zero vs. Rapid Fire. In the latest version of the organizational document, I had Rapid Fire as the team's Fire Support Officer, but there's nothing in his original filecard that I can sort of grasp onto and rationalize his being one. Sub-Zero, on the other hand, actually has "Artillery Coordinator" as his secondary MOS (not that officers actually have secondary MOSes... but that's another ball of wax entirely) so it's easier to make him "fit" into the role without diverging from the original. My one issue against Sub-Zero is visually, he's just another "snow guy." |
