Well, I definitely appreciate the work that goes into these, this came out really nicely. I love the transport plane shots, great way to use those round windows, it really gives off a sense of being inside one of those transports very well.

Nice work.

Thanks Hawk, I appreciate that. Tomorrow I should be having the next part up, with the conclusion to the fight and some more stuff at the Gitmo Joe Base

Haven't had much time to read lately, but after checking this out I agree with Hawk. Excellent work on the transport plane shots. I had a heckuva time approximating the interior of a transport. You make it look easy.

I also enjoy the little custom touches you've added to various figures, like Lady Jaye's paint job and the fabric hoods on the arctic guys. Those things really help flesh out the mini reality you've created.

A lot of great things going on in these dios. I love the sets, they're full of lots of detail and work and really add to the immersion into the world. Your customs are top-notch, I especially liked the arctic soldiers. The Big Brawler vs. Wet Suit fight was really good and provided good comic relief to the story (loved the bit with Bazooka getting a locker dropped on him). And I'm really curious about that prisoner at Gitmo. You have a very complex story going on, sometimes I'm not sure if I'm following it 100%, but I have faith it's eventually going to come together at the end.

The only constructive criticism I have is the shots are somewhat grainy and yellow; I don't know if it's your camera or your lighting, but it does strain my eyes after awhile.

Good to see diostory work still going on, after buying my first house I've been too busy to work on my own diostories, but I'm really chompin' at the bit to get back into it after seeing your updates.

Thanks guys! My brother and I were ROFL when we came up with the locker-meets-gravity-meets-Bazooka scene. It just seemed like a pretty good way to remember the Bazooka from the cartoon series. The rest of the dio has been pretty serious, and I hope that not only did everyone appreciate the Brawler jabs but also the Wet Suit ones; I mean, what kinda professional soldier can be such a jack arse at the same time?!

Thanks also for the kudos for our customs! I know I really should post the customs up more often, but it gets easy to lose track of time and let things slip. I'm thinking of posting some Marauder weapon customs tonight.
