Red Shadows-Updated

Post by Red Laser »

About two years ago I got these figures off e-bay the seller actually described them as a good base figure for DDP's Red Shadows so with that I had a look and bought all three. Originally they were left a dark red with blue belts/pouches I just painted their masks red and added Red Shadow insignia. Last night I decided to change all that and painted their uniforms Blood Red and used Chaos Black for their belts/pouches I also added a bit of detail to knives and timers. Image

I looked up what figures they were originally and apparently they were a boxed set Firefly in red and brown Hasbro know how to mess up old characters in my opinion.

I like this concept very much, but the logo on the balaclava makes them look a wee bit daft. I would have preferred a black balaclava.

Cheers jaye I was trying to combine the DDP look with the originals without using the dopey DDP look to the balaclavas. I thought that look took the term "faceless terrorists" too far.
