Oh my!
New Evergreen Revolution Army (New ERA - working title!)'s propaganda machine has been successful in recruiting a local sharpshooter/hunter/FPS gamer. Equiped with a smelly set of fatigues and a scoped rifle, he is determined to bring terror to the Evergreen governmental forces and anyone foolish enough to support them!

And the guy himself:
He was built from Warlord USMC spree (just as the members of the fire team he is shooting at!). He is actually armed with a Garand rifle, but I can't call it that as I've painted it wrong (the bottom barrel end is painted as wood if anyone cares about such details). I added him a scope, which is why the scope itself is a bit crooked.
I am very happy with how it turned out, except for the wrapped head. It has too "middle eastern" vibe to it. I was aware of that when I was sculpting him, but as his head underwent a lobotomy, this was the best way to hide the result of an amateur surgical operation.
In other news, I am almost done with the painting of a Slovene GPMG team. More on that when it gets done!

Nice addition to your forces
ReplyDeleteThanks Joe
DeleteHe looks good to me, Mathyoo. I do like the Grekwood graffiti.
ReplyDeleteHehe, thanks. I'm quite fond of most of them - they sure help with making walls more interesting.
DeleteHe looks good. I do like the pose, Nice work mate.
ReplyDeleteThanks Clint. Can't say much about the pose, I had a crouching miniature left and I figured I could use a sniper! :D
DeleteNice job dude!
ReplyDeleteHe looks like he spends lots of time alone in cover waiting for his targets.
I really like the truck in the first picture.
Thanks Bob!
DeleteGot three more trucks (all in police livery). They would need a repaint, but my diecast vehicle painting experience isn't all that flattering as something keeps going wrong.
Nice figure and pose!
ReplyDeleteThanks Ray!
DeleteLooking good there- for what it's worth I quite like the head, makes sense to me that a sniper would wrap up like that.
ReplyDeleteCheers,
Pete.
Cheers Pete. This is what I was thinking about as well, when I was making it. I would prefer a winter hat or something perhaps. Like a wrapped up balaclava.
DeleteLooks great to me and already pointed out a sniper would disguise himself. You got that dinosaur painted yet?
ReplyDeleteOh, no, not yet. Didn't even start remaking the horns yet. I haven't touched a putty in about a fortnight now.
DeleteI got him planned, no worries! :P
Looks great and love the pose!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteLooks just fine to me, and don't worry about the head wrap. Could always just say that he isn't ready for his opponents to know who he is. Might have family in enemy territory.
ReplyDeleteThanks - that's a very plausible explanation!
DeleteMathyoo, have you seen this:

I did, but I will have to pass for now. I haven't even played through the black dossiers in V1 and the money is tight. Cheers for the heads up, though! :)
