I set this dio up on my workbench for my July banner entry. I didn't really plan anything out; I just posed the figures, took pics, and let the ideas flow.

Scarlett, Lady Jaye and Spyral are moving through the ruined streets of a Middle Eastern town. Ongoing cleanup efforts are hampered by sporadic insurgent activity.


Scarlett finds meager cover behind a low wall as the trio advances down the street.
Wild Bill in his gunship is a few klicks away, circling at 500 feet, ready to provide cover if needed.


Scarlett keeps an eye on the building opposite them as Spyral moves to join her.


Lady Jaye gives the building's windows a visual sweep.


A shot rings out and Spyral goes down, the bullet gouging her leg above the knee.


"Sniper!" Scarlett cries, returning fire as Lady Jaye contacts Wild Bill.


Groaning in pain, Spyral is dragged behind cover as bullets ricochet around them.


"I don't have a shot! I'm changing position!" LJ yells out.


"How's that leg?" Scarlett asks.
"I'll live," comes the grunted reply.


Taking up position behind the excavator, LJ takes out one of the attackers with a well-placed shot.
"There's one more! I'll take care of him, you get Spyral outta there!"


Scarlett hauls Spyral back to safety as assault rifle fire comes down around them.
In the distance they can hear Wild Bill's gunship approaching.


"Let's get that leg fixed up," Scarlett says.
"Go for it," replies Spyral as the chopper swoops overhead, its rockets slamming into the building, reducing it to rubble.
"Just let me watch the fireworks first."

Nice action and cool angles on taking the shots.

The muzzle flashes and wound are awesome. I need to learn how to do that.

Great dio!

Fled, where does Scarlett's helmet come from? Was that a Unimax item? I need some of those - we need to get one to Tofujesse for casting.

I was actually planning to make a Photoshop tutorial for those. Just need to find the time. :)

Yep, Unimax/FOV Delta Force helmet. TofuJesse and Raginspoon need to cast these, like, immediately! :)

I am so mad at myself for missing this the 1st time! Excellent dio,fled74 & well deserved to be July's banner. This is where I want to get to, not just customizing but doing dioramas as well.
