This was a figure i cobbeled together after my Wraith had broken and i had used some of his parts for another custom. His Codename is tenative...as it was just the first one that popped in my head. Despite how hard red is to work with over black I think he came out nice and i will probably be going back and fine tuneing it but for now enjoy my newest original Custom Nightstrike.
Bio; Codename: Nightstrike Filename: Brent O'Rourke Primary Military Speciality: Mercenary Secondary Military Speciality: Infiltration/Interrogation Birthplace: Indianapolis, Indianna Grade:Classified Nightstrike was once a regular Army Sargeant who was wrongfully accused of gross derilicition of duty. At his courtmartial he was shown leaniency for his meritous service and given a general discharge instead of a dishonorable one. Still wanting to serve his country he signed up as Private Military Contractor so he could still defend the ol' stars and stripes and its people. While on a mission in the amazon, his team came under fire from what they THOUGHT were local rebels in hiding, but in truth it was a seceret Cobra base the team happened to stumble across. When the JOE team showed up Nightstrike(still Brent at the time), along ith Beachead, Flint and Covergirl, slipped into the base and while inside Brent and Covergirl came upon a room full of prototype weapons, which was the Joe teams and the PMC teams goal to find. When the team of joes inside relaized they were trapped , Brent took it upon himself and donned a suit similar to the stolen stealth suit used by The Mercenary Wraith. Leaping out from the room, guns blazing, he caused a distraction long enough for the joe team inside to plant a series of charges to destroy the hidden research station and escape. After the ordeal Brent was offered a position in the Joe Team..which he turned down intially but after deciding that he could do more good with them..he joined up..tenatively and works on a contract by contract basis with the JOE Team. "I used to think I got a raw deal at my trial...but then when I saw what COBRA had been doing in the Jungle..I think the whole thing was a test to see if I had the stuff to join the JOES. Guess I did Cause I fight with em shoulder to shoulder in the thick of battle...even if it is mostly for the money."

Wow I really like that. The red and black color scheme are great. Good job man. I would switch the rifle for something a little more "futuristic" if it were me. But I love the figure!

The rifle is just a place holder and when i get one i really like i'll take new pics of him with it. It came out a lot better than i was epxecting as red is just a hard color to work with, especially over black but I am thoroughly please.

Mostly i have found that enamels have that, pretty much anything oil based such as paints an sealers. If Acrylics are used the sticky factor becomes almost null n void, at least thats been the case for me. Same goes with sealer..use a no oil based sealer and stickyness should not be an issue.
