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

sh*t, Hasbro really needs to put two and two together and release some factory Shads like these.

Fantastic work. I love the fire controller with his binoculars and pointing pose. Reminds me of the classic Airfix pointing German and Para Officers.
