GZG New Trooper: Zod Commando

.
Quick but effective paint job on Jon's new 15mm Sci Fi Trooper to represent my Zod Commandos.

Step 1. Painted the figure with black ink.

Step 2. Removed ink from all exposed surfaces.

Step 3. Washed with Citadel OOP Waaarg Green.

Step 4. Vallejo 'bright' Gold visor.

Step 5. Rifle painted black - grey highlights and then quick drybrush of Boltgun Metal.

Step 6. Sight recticle painted Scab Red, then White/Scab Red reflection highlight.

I tried to paint very light blue/green 'power' streams in the recesses on the barrel but was defeated by my ageing eyes :-(

I'm tempted to remove the paint from the knee pads, paint them steel or maybe yellow/black 'hazard' stripes (but I have to remember this is 15mm!). He definitely needs badges on his shoulder plates for a bit of colour though. So I've designed this Zod Commando Shield to be suitable for a 15mm figure.

I also intend placing him and his buddies on bases represents ship's/space station decking. Markings on the decking will add additional colour to the piece.

The shield is the unit badge of the Zod Double Epsilon Deep Strike Commando Company. They are chosen for hazardous missions of high strategic importance but with correspondingly lower probabilities of survival. The Company motto is:

"mev brord min alder skjelme"
My Brother is my Shield
