Great work! I planned on painting mine as "Not-Sardaukar" (based on the Lynch movie version), but I cannot get that black to work out. Yours are very nice and "military", and I may shamelessly nick that (although I'll probably go for an ochre or sand tone instead of the nonetheless splendid olive green you chose).

Looking very good.  The red masks really stand out well.


I've ordered these, but still patiently waiting.  Hopefully today, so I can play with them this weekend!

They're my favorite part, makes them look a bit more sinister.... ;)

Those are lovely! Beautiful shade of green/olive drab or whatever and those visors are very effective indeed  :-*

Well done with the gauges on the breathing aparatus too. An easy detail to miss, which really sets them off.

They are perfect as Sardaukar a la Lynch.

The troops looks nice and shiny. Since the troops have a likewise G36, it reminds me: I worked in such suits, but we never had this comfortable visor.




P.S. This is not me, just some random photos from the Internet.
