Here's Firefly, another pretty straight-forward one:
Head & Goggles: Resolute Firefly? Harness & Backpack: Retaliation Ultimate Firefly Everything else: MTF Urban Ops Now I'm VERY new to figure painting, but I'm kinda wondering if I should do a little with Firefly. Maybe go black with the pouches/holsters, and paint the armor black too? Or maybe just a darker gray? Or hell, maybe I just leave it as is. Let me know what you guys think, I really can't decide.

On the other figures, I like your Viper a lot, he looks very interesting (I have been so busy focusing on using the MTF buck to make Cobra Troopers, Scrap-Iron, and DEF Shockwave that I overlooked the possibility of using it for this obvious troop builder. Nice work! Your Grunt is true to the original, as is Breaker... very nice tributes to those figures! -Todd Shakka85

I, personally, would not go with black for the armor and pouches, but a different shade of grey might work, either a little darker, or a bit lighter... just something to break up the color scheme a little. Either way, the figure looks good as is, if you choose not to paint him.

I like that Viper a lot.
You just provided a good use for all those 25th bent-wrist vipers that I have rotting in a box somewhere... |

Here's Clutch!
Head: Star Wars Rogue One Cassian Andor Everything else: MTF Range Ops I'm pretty happy with how he turned out for the time being, but I think I'll eventually replace him with a tan version. That'll have to wait until Marauders puts out the unarmored forearms in more colors, though. Last edited by Matt82; 10-08-2017 at 07:41 PM.. |

Tele-Viper:
Head & Vest: 25th Tele-Viper Everything else: MTF Security Ops Yes, the fastener on his vest broke. No, I'm not happy about it. :( Last edited by Matt82; 10-10-2017 at 12:55 PM.. |

Here's Steeler:
Head: 25TH CG Fred head Helmet & Pistol Belt: 25th Steeler Visor: 25th Flash Everything else: MTF Field Ops I like the MTF look for Steeler as well, but I do need some assistance with a couple things: First, I'd like a more Steeler-esque visor for the helmet; does the original Steeler binocular headset fit on the modern era OG 13 helmets? Or does someone have a lead on the visor from the last 2 versions of Steeler that were released? Or how about the MTF NVG helmet attachment? Would that be Steeler-ish enough (or better yet, the soon to be released quad goggles)? The other issue is the head choice. My version of Steeler is based more on the cartoon, so I want a blond head. I don't like using a Fred head, but can't come up with a better option. Any suggestions, folks? As always, thanks for looking, and thanks in advance for any advice anybody gives.
