Ciao everyone,
This is my entry for the "Quiet Professionals" campaign. They are the NYPD Special Entry Squad preparing to make an entry along a street somewhere in New York. Based on the suggestions of many of my friends here at Armorama, I made some modifications to the layout and added many things that, I believe, make it a more plausible dio. Please let me know what you think.







Hope you like them. Forgive my photography. Comments and criticism is welcome.
Ciao for now
Rob

Hey Rob,
That turned out just great, as I said before I love the way the wall came out. Your tags and thier colors are super. The whole thing fell togather perfectly. If there was a prize for this build, you would get my vote... Great Job

I don't recognize that set. The guy with the shield is pretty cool. That street looks awesome. The street sign was a great touch

Ciao everyone,
Thanks for the compliments. I had to rush it because of Hurricane Dennis. As mentioned before, many people gave me many good ideas and suggestions.

Ciao Mother and Prato, thanks so much for you kudos. Wow, I am flattered. I really like the colorful wall. Unfortunately, you can't see the discarded paint can behind the No.2 man. Again, thank you both. Prato - congratulations on winning the free kit.
Ciao Shermiesrule, that set is the DML NYPD Team. Several people suggested I put up a sign or bench. I would have put a bench, but ran out of time. I think the sign came out well. Thanks for the compliments.
Ciao for now

Too bad we didn't coordinate our dios. You could have done the SWAT guys in their stack outside and I could have done the breach! How cool would that had been?

It's really refreshing to see something like this. Well done grafitti. I can smell the streets now.


My hats off to DML for making such subjects.

Ciao Mondo,
Thanks for the compliment. I am proud of how the street came out. I wanted it colorful, and it certainly is that. Sorry about the poor photos, though.
Ciao for now

Great work, Rob. I think I recognize some of your work on the rail cars here in my town.

Reminds me of my days playing Counter Strike with my friends :-) :-)

Nice work Rob! I really like the detail on the figures. The background graffiti is a nice touch too
