Here is a test for my up coming NCC (National Centric Combine) Troopers. This will be the opposing army to my NRSS troops. First set will have 10 figures with assorted weapons. I will be refining these over this week. Enjoy, Nate

Now we just need a giant cybernetic tank to roll over them!

It is no secret that I'm thinking about goin retail with these designs so I hade to make some changes to the NRSS troops. I have based much of my learing on Jim's work and when I was releasing free stuff I was lazy and used his heads. I need to go back though and change them all out for some of my own so the NRSS guys will have to wait for a time. Nate

Very cool, I like the color scheme. About the only thing I find off is the alignment of the eye sights, the figures left side eyes need to be moved further out to the side of the head to make the 3/4 view look better, I think.
I have all sorts of ideas for human armies, but will focus on the aliens first.
There should be loads more figure parts coming up with the large Apocalyptic figure project. JIM

The perspective on the eye-bits is a bit off and at a more extreme angle than the face itself. Other than that, looks cool!

I agree with you guys about the eyes. In fact I scraped the 4 lenses due to the small amount of room and went with a cyclopes/cylon looking single bar. Ill have more pictures tonight when I get back to my computer

I liked the eye bits. I think the perspective was just a little extreme. The ellipses look to be about 50% of the height. If they were only reduced ~20% (become a little more circular, less oval) I think you would have a more successful perspective. I hope that makes sense. Mix the troopers up a bit and have both the mutliple lens and the singular.

Scraped the eyes again and went with the Sam Fisher look. Other then that all the parts are complete and I just need to pose the figures. Its taking me some time because I'm switching between the Bunker set and these figures. Below is a final color and textured figure. I might do an alternate color scheme in olive drab with camo armor. You will also receive blanks. First set will be 10 figures 6 assault rifles, 3 shotguns and a Sargent with CCW and pistol. I hope to get four sets done. This one, a set of 8 or 10 heavy weps, 10 scout/jump troops w/ light armor and small arms and a 8 or 10 man command group/hero set. Enjoy Nate

Needs more contrast. The tones of the blues and browns are so similar that they look somewhat monochromatic.

Final figures have been sent to Jim for proofing and posting I will be using this board for each of the up coming CDN figure sets I want to do. Next up are some heavy weapons.

OK now that I have the name situation worked out I can refocus on getting some figures done. Below is an example of the Suppression Troops that I will be releasing for my next set. Its a set of heavy weapons to form assault units or just beef up the standard platoon. There will be 5 different weapons Flamer, Heavy Machine Gun, Energy Weapon, Grenade and Rocket Launcher. The units will also have backpack with addition ammo and slightly increased armor. Weapons and Backpacks Quick test build Dont mind the mistakes on the backpacks they have already been fixed. Nate

The power armor is about 50% done but I don't have a picture that you all will be able to make sense out of . The body and hips will be 3d objects and the legs/arms will be 2.5d parts. As far as design style goes I wanted to get away from the standard "battle Armor suit" So this is more like a very small mech. Think SF3D meets a metal gear solid 4 gecko. Total height will be between 53mm and 60mm when complete. This will be a great test for the new joint system I have worked out and much simpler to build then the NRSS power armor I made before. Nate

Stupendous! Do you have any sketches of the PA yet? Just for you sir! I slapped it together using some of the side views of the 2.5d and 3d parts. but you can kinda get the Idea of where i want to go with it. There is also a trooper for scale. The wep is not finished and is just there are a representation. Nate

My first thought was, "Wow! Is that just the leg?!?!" Then I looked a little closer, oh, I get it. So the next question becomes; 3d? 2d? 2.5d? A combination like you did for your previous PA? My bet is on the last one.
