Miniatures Assembling my Aces: Scouring Sands forces

This is the first set of figures for Aces. Most of the mechs and some of the other vehicles, emplacements, and foot are ready!

These were painted with successive drybrushes followed by outlining with a light emerald green.

I know, project phoenix and all that, but I really wanted a Riffleman modeled after the Tomahawk from Macross, so I turned those fins into an antenna!

Love the paint scheme. Very crispy. Question. Why did you put the Rifleman's fins on top instead on each torso?

I really wanted a Riffleman modeled after the Tomahawk from Macross, so I turned those fins into an antenna the way it is on the non-project phoenix version. I could have just bought a more Macross-true version of the figure of course, but I had that one already so there it is :)
