The decal on the Lampreys arm is the same design as the symbol on the vintage Lampreys arm vintage figures often had pretty cool unit insignia on them that a lot of people I think haven't noticed. The emblem on his helmet is based on maritime rank insignia, several countries use a similar design for their uniforms. Gauges on his vest are covered in clear lacquer. Parts are pretty basic - mostly base cobra diver for the red so the joints wouldn't have paint chipping issues.
I've got several customs on ebay right now but I cant bring myself to list these yet, I think Im going to keep them. The standard diver is based on the Sunbow outfit cobra divers wore. His weapon is from the new 50th weapons crate. His straps are from diver baroness, cut down and stretched out to accommodate. The Lampreys weapon is modeled after the underwater assault rifle - I think it was an experimental weapon, don't know if they are actually in service in real life but for these guys they are.

Very cool! That Lamprey helmet looks really good on there and those white stripes are laser sharp. Love that you used the Lamprey insignia on the arm, always thought it was a cool design.

Thank you! I googled that - it's an APS underwater rifle. I had forgotten what that sculpt was based on. I'd like to get more of them. Do you know where that weapon came from - the 1:18 scale version I mean. I can't remember where I got it from, probably in a trade a long time ago.
