Many thanks to The Baron for his great work getting us back up and running so soon :)
I don`t mind repeat posting again, and I`m sure the others won`t.
With nothing to browse all day, I`ve been forced to pick up the paintbrush and get started on the new Shadow vehicle.
This is Red Laser`s new baby and the paints still drying!
Spotted some bits I missed on the photo`s, thats tommorows job.
Also run out of red for the trailer, but should look better when its finished.

Also managed to find a Commander for the Skeletron Army

I struggled with pliers to get the old ones off!
Should have enough spare wheels for the trailer too.
I run out of patience to paint the originals red, besides these are more chunky and look a lot better too.

ah man that is sweet! I love it, great work, I actually hate all the spacey out there vechiles of the red shadows * roboskull* so a more realistic vechile is nice to see really really good work

for me the red shadows have vechiles like this and nazi / war world II vechiles

and nice skeletron commander, see If I had this figure I would say the skeleton head is just a mask that he wears into battle one that really strikes fear into his apponets, andI think I would even keep the name skeletron too !

great work! looks great

Just looking at that Skeletron head, and more to the point, his beret and its colour, was he a member of Le Deuxieme Para, Le Legion Etranger?

I found the head on an unknown figure I had in a job lot before, and popped it on The Black Major
I can`t put my hands on my Skeletron figure, once again, he has followed the Cobra sticker sheet to his secret
SAFE place in oblivion.

Ah yes, that stable wormhole in the space/time continuum that haunts all customisers:
"But I'm SURE I put it in THAT box just yesterday!"

One of these days I will track down where all the missing figures, accessories and parts go.

The reason I was asking is the apple green of the beret, and the fact that it is reversed to how most NATO forces wear it, just like the 2nd battalion parachute regiment of the Foreign Legion.

He has been out Trick or Treating. Except with him, if you don't give him enough sweets, he doesn't egg your car, he shoves a thermite grenade through your letterbox :twisted:

Bit more exteme than putting a burning bag of dog dirt on your doorstep and ringing the door bell
