Seems as I have the paints and brushes out, time to expand the :qforce: a little further.
Took a while to find the parts to come together for this, head is a Corps! donation.
Love the "Wet Suit" figure so his body was a natural choice for this guy, legs from the red cobra diver type dude and arms
from Topside ( I think?), has a navy tattoo, could well be.
This trooper is "Number 10" as marked on the back of his helmet, just thought it could give him a bit of individuality.
No code name as of yet, just "Aqua Trooper"
Weapon is for use out of water, didn`t want to go too "Eel" style on him

That looks really nice. Your yellow paint suffers from the ages old problem of brushmarking due to yellow (and red and white) being tricky to cover the base colour, but a thin layer of wyared down yellow or matt varnish will give it a crisper look.

With regards to the logo, it's better to paint a full oval with no gap and then add the line down the middle. It'll make the gap parallel and also make the corners of the semicircles sharp.

However the overall look of the figure is very good indeed, and nice look at a 'What If?' had the teams AF continued.

Seems so simple that way!
