Used one on the :qforce: Commando, quite a versatile piece of kit

i'd suggest, as TKW did, red highlights or detailing. red knife and straps. red on the straps on the other leg. maybe red pouches on the belt. a red border on the logos.

I like the figure mate but not sure about the camo. I thought the original red stripes were a bit rough or maybe thats what you wanted.This question has been bugging me for ages. I would like to do customs like this but the Shadows never bothered with camouflage so do I expand it and modenise or stay true to the original concept. Its probably just down to personal preference.

Yeah think you are right mate. Some of us are Palitoy, some Hasbro and some more recent Hasbro stuff. Although I have noticed nearly everyone has stuck to keeping the Shadows plain red.

Or just stick to the comics and keep a red helmet under a white hood.
From what I remember, the Shads aren`t exactly the masters of disguise, usually a cloak over the uniform.
Or a nice hat on Destro`s head, he could always be mistaken for Kryten

Total 80s myself. Still debating on wether to go just plain red or not. How about you Scoob? A variation or will you PAINT IT RED? :-D
