Here's another simple custom. Body took some panel beating and repainting but I'm quite happy with the way this guy came out.

Code Name: Red Tempest
Personal Name: Unknown
Action Force Code Number: None
Primary Military Speciality: Sabotage
Secondary Military Speciality: Field Tactician
Birthplace: Unknown

A very sketchy background, but its thought he was a member of the British SAS that defected to the IRA while on a undercover operation. He is skilled at leaving destruction on any magnitude, be it a car bomb or Cruise missile. He has been responsible for anything from assassinations to piracy and takes great pleasure in advertising the fact.

"Red Tempest leaves wreckage everywhere he goes. It is unclear what motivates him, but he is highly motivated"

No, the helmet doesn't fit unfortunately :-( It will on a Breaker style head tho. Not sure what range it came from but was donated by Paul iirc. One day I may get a Dremel and mill it out a bit. I have another one I will put a block of plastic on the back and make a mask I think. We'll see how that one comes up. Might have to make another shad I think ;) All the logo's came up like crap.

The rifle I used is a Marauders one, the black looks good imo tho a little glossy compared to AF.

The goal from here on is to post a custom a night for the next week, I did both these guys because there were some good customs being posted that may have gotten in first ;) Z guys to follow.

I like Red Tempest here a lot. Looks spot on as a "de-helmeted" Shadow. I've got one or two (or 30) German helmets knocking about at home, so will see if any fit that head.
