Forgot about this one. Star Wars AT AT Commander head and legs. Just needs a logo and an name, any ideas? Tip for customizing : take a photo when you think you have finished as it shows up any imperfections. Just noticed this after looking at both of mine. I think a little touch up here and there with both is needed. No smutty comments! :-D

normally dont like sw figs turned into shadows or af but this one is exceptionally cool and I dont "recognise" him instantly as being a star wars guy, just a red shadow figure...

Nice Job ! I thought about using this head for a shadow but never got around to getting one.

Excellent addition to the Shadows ..........he looks like a driver ........ Red Scorpion ?

Red Saracen
Hyena Commander ( :jackal: 's deputy)

Name: Salahadin al-Haq
Born: Nile Valley
Primary Speciality: Long Range Recon & Infiltration
Secondary Specialty: Desert Warfare

Trained in the PLO camps of North Africa during the 1970s, Al-Najaf was born into a rich Iraqi-Egyptian family of traders descended from the Bedouin of North Africa and the Euphrates Valley. Politically active from a young age, during post-graduate Engineering Studies in Germany he provided a safe-house for a number of Carlos the Jackal's operational cells. On returning to the Middle East, he became heavily involved in the Iran-Iraq war after losing several members of his extended family in the conflict, focusing on logistics and mechanized warfare against the Mullahs. Salahadin joined the Red Shadows after realising the extent of the cooperation between the United States and political elites in the Middle East and North Africa exposed the irrelevance of his prior political actions.

"Intelligent, embittered, traumatised, Salahadin is a mercenary in every sense, but one now indoctrinated by violence rather than politics. Equally able at conventional and unconventional war, he is a ruthless foe"

blah-blah, the end.

Although that now means I have to find a suitable vehicle for his long range recon!

No worries chum, wikid dat is my pleasure innit, I fink. Still, it could do with some tweaking, already saw a couple of errors.

Also, I finally got :sas: status with that post, only four hundred more to go to get back my former moniker.

Hmm Hyena with long-range fuel tanks on the back, and maybe a Laser Exterminator if El-Baroni hasn't been bitten by the global credit crunch. Or maybe the fuel tanks are towed ... Eisenblut might have some ideas, some other vehicles were :enemy: customised in the past.

I thought about incorporating more military looking figures from my SW collection into my Red Shadows. I'm not sure about your AT-AT commander but mine is very loose limbed thanks for showing this as mine would have been similiar except no face mask. How did you make that face mask?
