Well, he's done. I thought Photoshopping in a screenshot of the CS map "de_dust" as a background would look good... and it does. I think this is a fantastic mini, I had a lot of fun painting it!
I've given him a base, matching the popular Counter Strike maps "dust" and "dust2". And highlighting black is the worst thing ever... And there is so much of it on him :(
The armband is sculpted onto the figure, so I guess it should be... a coloured armband. I went with flat red since I don't want this guy to display any specific political allegiance.
I came across this image of an Iraqi policeman on the web. A sign of how screwed up things are in Iraq I guess... :(
Joseph Conrad's novel "The Secret Agent" describes a group of terrorists who send an adolescent half-wit to deliver their bomb for them. This closely resembles the average game of Counter Strike... except the latter involves a lot more adolescent half-wits.

I just had to buy a mini which so closely fits into one of my favourite games (he's actually a Call of Cthulhu mini, not a CS product). I used my Dremel and green epoxy putty to modify this guy's arms a little (long->short sleeves) and gave him a flashbang grenade to make him more closely resemble the game model.
