Red Shadow Heavy weapons
Red Shadow Heavy weapons
Hi all- been waaaaaay too long since I've posted anything here- finally got my finger out me backside and finished off these Shads!
I thought that they could use a little more firepower....
Basically the shads followed my previous ones ( I think these may have been lost when the site was hit late last year)- recast heads and Indy Jones Germans- on a few I changed some of the pouches to suit their role in the fireteams and to give a little variety
Anti tank.aircraft missile team:
The missile launcher is from Renegades Firefly and I thought it would look good if I could show the missile launching- this was done using an Iron man accessory and simply wedged one end in the missile launcher and the missile in the other- the backblast is again from an Iron Man accessory.
With the missile launcher I needed a spotter and a loader- the missile carrying tubes were off-cuts from plastic pipes and given a paint job and natty little stickers just to show that they belong to The Enemy!
Machine gun team:
2 man team- a gunner and an ammo feeder/carrier- changed their pouches to portray their specialist roles in the Red Shadow army
Excuse the mountain of pics....
hope you like them
Cheers,
Fant0mas

Lovely work fella, thanks for sharing. 

When confronted by a difficult problem you can solve it more easily by reducing it to the question. How would the Lone Ranger handle this?

Re: Red Shadow Heavy weapons
Fantastic work. I love the fire controller with his binoculars and pointing pose. Reminds me of the classic Airfix pointing German and Para Officers.
