Whew, another huge decal adventure. I was playing Call of Duty 4 the other day and noticed that the online SMG class troops looked pretty awesome. So I thought, why don't I make them? So off I went on another adventure with decals, once again using templates I created based on Roaglaan's decals, so credit to him for the original design on the kneepads and armored vest. However, just about everything else on the vest is custom, created by me. I really liked how these guys turned out. Also, credit to CWB!Productions for the idea to put the SAS, USMC, and Joint Operation insignia in the picture.
