Just a straight out repaint, of the Pit Commando. Not even a complete repaint, at that. I did add a working holster for a Marauder .45, but those don't take long. There's still a few tweaks to make to this, which is why I didn't bother hauling out my regular photography rig.
Would have posted this hours ago, but I couldn't upload files to my web host. |

Yeah, the Pit Commando makes Steel Brigade a cinch. I stayed with the commando body, helmet, head, but used TRU firefly's vest instead of the commando's vest. More true to the original.

That's awesome. Really well done. Simple, yet more realistic, and effective.

I like the simple fixes, those are the ones that I'm more likely to try.
Now I can make a custom me (again) with the Steel Brigade without even having to do a mail in. Nice. |

Thanks, everyone. I still need to go back over a few spots, on the legs. Especially the screw holes.
TAILSrats, I've always preffered the Duke torso version of the old Steel Brigade. I've got a 25th style Steel Brigade made with Duke parts, and bandolier. I did take a few liberties with that one, though. Huer-Ta, I make my gun holsters out of .010 inch thick sheet styrene. It's about the thickness of a business card. Possibly thinner. Vinyl tape (like electrical tape) also works well for holsters and pouches. Just remove the adhesive with Goo Gone, and superglue it together. |
