Arctic operation Shadow

Post by scoobydie »

The X Force seems to be growing but with no-one to defend against.
Going to try out some different camo schemes, quite like this one though.
Only had crimson paint so had to dull it down with some black and then the complementary snow camo on top.

Ski mobiles for everybody!!!

Hopefully a diorama without the Hoth Wampa as I don't think Iceberg has fully recovered from his last meeting. :twisted:

Looking good but a little pink in areas.

Plenty of diorama ideas, no room to fit them :-(
See if we can find some heavy vehicles for the Shads to use.

Or could it be seen as a light red ?
No standard colours here, going for a different shade for the polar adventures.

Well spotted Eddie :)
Head and arms from Astro Viper to minimise paint rub.
Lowlight torso and legs for the rest.
