Red Tempest

Post by Chopper »

Here's another simple custom. Body took some panel beating and repainting but I'm quite happy with the way this guy came out.

Code Name: Red Tempest
Personal Name: Unknown
Action Force Code Number: None
Primary Military Speciality: Sabotage
Secondary Military Speciality: Field Tactician
Birthplace: Unknown

A very sketchy background, but its thought he was a member of the British SAS that defected to the IRA while on a undercover operation. He is skilled at leaving destruction on any magnitude, be it a car bomb or Cruise missile. He has been responsible for anything from assassinations to piracy and takes great pleasure in advertising the fact.

No, the helmet doesn't fit unfortunately :-( It will on a Breaker style head tho. Not sure what range it came from but was donated by Paul iirc. One day I may get a Dremel and mill it out a bit. I have another one I will put a block of plastic on the back and make a mask I think. We'll see how that one comes up. Might have to make another shad I think ;) All the logo's came up like crap.

The rifle I used is a Marauders one, the black looks good imo tho a little glossy compared to AF.

The goal from here on is to post a custom a night for the next week, I did both these guys because there were some good customs being posted that may have gotten in first ;) Z guys to follow.

I like Red Tempest here a lot. Looks spot on as a "de-helmeted" Shadow. I've got one or two (or 30) German helmets knocking about at home, so will see if any fit that head.
