First off, I would just like to say this to all those who, by their own customs, or in some cases through their posted tutorials, got me into washes and dry brushing - Damn you. Now I have to redo all of my figures.
J/K! I love the effect of dry brushing now that I see what it looks like in real life. Which is why all my figures are now going to get the same treatment. Now onto the figures. Below are my first attempts at washes and dry brushing - the E.C.H.O. (Espionage & Covert Hostile Operations) Group. Pardon the lighting, as I just took these pictures on my office desk with overhead fluorescent lights, and the office video cam (yes, a video cam!). I'll try to take better ones soon. Even though I was rather unkind to those that taught me these wonderful techniques in the first place, please be gentle, as this is my first try at it. Also, Pardon the lighting, as I just took these pictures on my office desk with overhead fluorescent lights only. I'll try to take better ones soon. E.C.H.O. (Espionage & Covert Hostile Operations) Group A group comprised of individuals with backgrounds, past affiliations, or trained with, terrorist groups and rebel guerrilla forces, either as operatives and agents of the groups themselves, or as undercover operatives working for the other side. A group so covert, that only few of the Joes themselves know if its existence. (Hey, a guy can dream, right?!) Updated Image with new Team Member Individuals to be shown in succeeding posts. I'm thinking of entering one of the group in some the contests here, but I would like to get some feedback first.

Real Name: PETROVIC, Dalil T. Birthplace: Moscow, RUSSIA Primary Military Specialty: Weapons Specialist - Long Range Sniper Secondary Military Specialty: Demolitions & Explosives Bio: Dalil was once a simple Muslim farmer in Chechnya with a passion for hunting. After his farm was razed and family accidentally killed by a stray explosive during the early days of the Chechen War, Dalil joined the Highest Military Majlisul Shura of the United Forces of the Mujahedeen of the Caucasus, hoping to find answers. He conducted numerous successful guerilla raids against Russian forces, undermining their foothold in Chechnya. He had already made various contacts in Al-Qaeda when he was captured late in the war. After "interview" sessions with the KGB, as well as viewing reports of the attack on his house, which was actually carried out by guerillas who had stolen Russian ordinance, Dalil agreed to work with the KGB as an undercover agent in Al-Qaeda. It was during a mission in Afghanistan where he met General Hawk, who recruited him into GI Joe to set up the E.C.H.O. Group. Dalil was tasked with finding other "suitable" recruits with "suitable" backgrounds.

Dude, they are freaking sweet! I love not only the customs but the obvious care and research that went into constructing the team. Awesome.

At the time, she was dating an IRA soldier, though she didn't know it until he told her about the raid and that it was the British SAS who had conducted the raid which killed her father. Though Iya didn't really believe him, she joined the terrorist organization, hoping one day to find retribution for the death of her father. She found it when, after being trained in explosives, she blew up a safehouse wherein the her cell leader and trainer, who was also responsible for her father's death, was meeting with other IRA cell leaders. Iya was then recruited into the SAS, but during a training exercise with the US Special Forces, she met General Hawk, who told her about the E.C.H.O. group. She signed up without hesitation.

Outstanding work they look killer. I think the groin area on whistler though should be filled in a bit, as she looks like she`s got a G string on the outside of her pants.

What the...?! Damn! Talk about coincidence!
Sorry about that, but, honestly speaking, I only came up with the name by browsing through Greek letters, and coming up with an acronym for it. But seriously, what are the chances? By the way, nice work on the Cobras. As you can see, I am a big fan of Black Ops groups, dressed in black, of course.
