They're all top work! That body looks superb for the Black Shadow too.
Who's inside the Muton hat?

Enormously impressive work Matt, as always.

I particularly love the Shadow Diver.

Where is the enemy logo from on the diver as I could use a couple of those myself.

Is it from the stickers that are advertised on the forum shop?

Thanks. I print my own figure and vehicle decals onto waterslide paper, I think the original logo came from the word files that the baron posted here.

If you want some I can get some done for you?

Just looking at them all again, and they are top notch. The paint finish is particularly good! Do you use an airbrush?
I may repaint my Black Shadow with the Satin Black, I used the Gloss 21, and he's very shiny, (looks a bit too muck like a rubber fetishist...)

No, I have experimented with an airbrush but I made a mess of anything I tried. I just use a good quality brush and the humbrol enamel evens itself out nicely once on.

Great customs, most especially the Black Major - it just works perfectly well!
