RED DAWN - red shadow hostile environment expert

Post by Ross SC »

i know the name has already been used for the books, but it was a name i used as a kid for one of my shadows + one of my favourite films!
ex-russian army, specialises in extremely hostile conditions, from the arctic to the desert.
this is him in his arctic outfit.
this is made from a bag of spare parts sent to me by Andy, so as soon as he is finished he's going to be on his way back to him!
think i need to touch up the paint a little bit, hopefully 2mrw i should be able to pick up some ski's so he's all kitted up!

it's not a Range-Viper, it's a Decimator, I think.
