I love it.
You could use a shiny black on the "googles" to make them more like pilot helmet ?

But it is really good as it is already.

With the troopers done I'm now onto a mix of female characters. They're not necessarily meant to be used alongside the troopers but they might work, plus they're part of the same job.  :)

I'm not sure, but she's a Hasslefree model.

Base coat VGC Beasty Brown, quick highlight up to VGC Parasite Brown, then you'll need a time machine to go get some 1980's Citadel Hobgoblin Orange...  ;) Anyway, highlight up to that and then for the sharp highlights add a little VGC Bald Moon Yellow.  :)

Closest equivalent to hob gob orange I've got is VGC Orange Fire but it's a bit brighter.

Ta much! I've been struggling to get a decent orange in recent years!

BTW the girl in the red looks dead like the Cylon girl from Battlestar! :-* :-* :-* :-*

Cylon Lady in "Red" is "Gina",
Troopers are "The Five Eight"
Trooper ladies are "Lt. Merys Thoran" and "Cpt. Nee Sun"
and the shotgun gal is "Dakota"

Stunning paint jobs

All are stunning pjs, lovely stuff
(For me personally I don't like the blue trooper, not sure why, but it is brilliantly done)

I've finally gotten around to doing some better photo's of all the models. Ended up being a bit of a mix of things with some of those characters but what the hell.

Stunning. I think I have ALL of these models on my shopping list (with the exception of the woman in red), and seeing them here painted to this standard means I'll be getting them a lot sooner than I'd planned.

I love the Vic Lewinski models (female pilot type with the cigar). Wonderfully done. I think the simple basing really sets them off too. God, those armoured soldiers are beautiful!
