Title: Star Wars Special Operator vignette
Post by: OddManRush on July 02, 2013, 01:47:54 PM: Hi guys, just wanted to post a photo or two of a work I recently completed.
I was inspired by photos you see of the modern day battlefield, depicting ruined vehicles and rather cool looking spec ops individuals. So I pimped out a Kenner Rebel Commando to look like a more modern day special forces operator. He is presiding over the battlefield, standing next to a wrecked speeder bike. What do you think?

You Special Ops person does look just a tad more intimidating than the regular Endor Commando that I can recall. We need more tough looking Rebels like this.

Once again welcome to ISY and time to go get this on the front page.
