silverc's Red Shadows customs

Post by silverc »

Here are some recent Red Shadows customs:


The first is an extra Locust helicopter (The tan Dragonfly that was released in 2000). I kept all of the original black parts intact, but painted all of the tan parts red. The stickers are from Cobra Stickers

I also painted a black 25th anniversary HISS tank red and intended on using it as a cobra tank, but changed it to a red shadows one. If CS ever releases a hyena sticker set, I will put those on here.

I had a few extra figures left over and made a custom hyena driver:

And a red shadows underwater trooper

The other troopers are custom/bootlegs by The Black Major on ebay. I did not make them, but think they work well with the other stuff although the shade of red is a bit darker than the other items I did.


A lovely Red Shadows Family Photo....look at how happy they are after conquering the world!

And since I am too cheap to shell out the huge money people want for the real deal Escape Armor, I made a custom instead. I should have painted the thing instead of brushing it though, as the finish would be smoother, but it still looks decent.

PAINT IT RED!!!!

Looking good Silverc - I like them!

I think our very own The Kraken Wakes has a decal sheet of water slide transfers for the HISS to make it into a Hyena? I say think, I mean "know". Could be worth PM'ing him to see if he's still got some for sale?
