I painted it green first, but it wasn't working the way I wanted as the contrast between the T-shirt and the beret wasn't vivid enough. Red beret were used by the guardian angels squads, so I figure out it could be a possible colour scheme. I like the result  ;)

Golgo islands range mate which includes the not cobra commander and a giant zombie hamster! Without checking I think East Riding stock them.

I hear ya sometimes a colour just doesn't work with what you're trying to do . I imagine of the guardian angels were tooled up like that crime would be pretty low lol

There was a guy at college that dressed just like that.  Maybe he was a time traveler. =)   I really like that paintjob though.
