Thanks!

Biomassa & Barbecue actually came together fairly easily without a ton of coats. Deep Six could use more pink but those apps are so tiny & detailed that I haven’t gotten back to do it yet. I’ll get my Ice Cream Soldier pulled off the shelf & take some pics once I get the Eco Warriors back in their display. Pulled a rookie mistake & tried to go neon yellow right on black plastic so he may be more paint than plastic at this point. Haha. By far the most coats I’ve used on a single figure.

Loving your designs, the neon paint is looking fantastic on the eco warriors, and the motor vipers looked awesome.

Totally stealing your Deep Six. Going with slightly different details just so it’s not a carbon copy. Found a slightly “boxy” helmet on the Avacs site that could pass for Deep Six’s diver helmet if you squint really hard, but wanted to say thanks for the inspiration.

Thanks, Sapper!
Can’t wait to see what you do with him, Rob! Your figures always come out great so looking forward to seeing the finished product. Already liking the teaser photo so I’m sure he’s gonna turn out retail worthy. Up next for me is Biosfera aka Eco Warrior Sneak Peak. This is who I consider the best looking figure out of the Brazilian trio, plus he’s the only guy I’ve gotten to use this green paint on so far & I love how it came out. Contemplated adding the green to his forearm armor to break up the arms a bit but for now I left them accurate to the original figure. Most of the build (neck down) are just Marauder parts. Then he has a Dime Novel Legends head & goggles from one of the paradrop guys, I think the blue Cobra one.

I, for one, think the all-blue arms is the right choice. It’s memorable and identifiable. If anything, I would just do a small bit of dark blue around the wrist band...but then again, I might just leave it as-is.

Thanks, as always!
Blue Dusty! That makes a lot more sense because I have an extra of him in my fodder pile! Thought it was odd that I’d have give one of the paratroop guy’s goggles away. I love those figures. A bit of dark blue is a great idea if I choose to alter him at all. Thanks! He looks great on the shelf & doing the full arm gauntlets would definitely change the look a lot so appreciate the idea. At some point I might do it, but like you said, leaving it as is wouldn’t be a bad idea either.

Last member of the official team, Biologico aka Eco Warrior Sci Fi!
Another full Marauder build for the main parts & then I painted vintage Salvo’s helmet to finish it off. This head was the last one remaining in my bin but because I really liked how he came out & I used him more as the character Biologico than Sci Fi anyway, I liked the change. Full Official Team Shot.

Great job with your Eco Warriors! They fit in perfectly with the official ones.
