lt falcon:
straight up repaint of the 2 pack one that came with nemisis enforcer. i went with the old school paint scheme from his 80's night force version. the pistol tucks in nice and tight in the holster. now being a sub group i see them coming in hard and fast so i wanted him to have something more then just his shot gun so he got the m-16 WITH a shot gun attached to it lol i mean come on he is falcon so he needs a shot gun of some form right? i had a ship wreck head and this being a boat it needs a proper sailor. there not being a shipwreck to choose from in the night force line i took colors the 80's guys seemed to use alot so i went with those. seeing as the head had a cold weather hat on i used one of my spare cold weather doc bodies. they kinda of remind me of those coats the guys wear in deadliest catch. kinda wanted to leave it orange bc of that but that kinda doenst go with a "night force" lol so it got blue paint. i took one upper thigh from a duke with the opposite lower leg. did the same thing from a spirit. they both use the same legs but i mix and matched because i wanted the knees to match. as far as his gun goes he didnt need anything hard core since he is the boat driver but should he need to let loose with cover fire he has a m203 attached to help out Last edited by Voice of Reason; 08-22-2015 at 10:09 PM.. |

I really don't like that gloss... I hope this doesn't sound offensive (really, I mean well), but the gloss paint looks icky. Your paint app is great though; there's no dribble, paint rub, or shaky lines. My suggestion is that you get a hold of some matte colors for any part that is supposed to be "fabric." If it's a helmet, armor, or a vehicle, gloss is fine, but, otherwise, matte is the way to go.

These look really good, especially Shipwreck. Is the coat on Shipwreck a darker blue than it's photographing as?

Shipwreck looks cool, I don't see why though you'd make another Falcon, did the FSS 2.0 figure not please you?

Not everybody wants to spend $300+ on a subscription or pay ebay prices for a single.

Great paint apps, just suggesting going with matte or flat paint though

they are in flat paint. the gloss you see is from the flash on the camera.
i made the falcon because i dont have the night force one, plus mine is true to the 80's version one. i had the figure and the paint so why not keep true to the original one. the shipwreck head i had has the cold weather cap, i had a bunch of cold weather doc bodies so figured id use that for shipwreck since he already had the hat on and the more i look at him the more i like it. all in all i am happy with these guys. when i get back from tdy i should have the zodiak finished quick, but dont think i will make a guy for it, i will just tow it behind the boat |
