The CPKF Sentinels were the first of my minifig units to get the BrickArms Upgrade. I photographed them here with a HQ print of the CPKF Insignia on a glass table.

The Commonwealth Peace Keeper Sentinels provide real-time minifig intel and intervention for the Commonwealth Peace Keeping Forces. Often working alone or in small fire teams the Sentinels are a crucial part to the operations out of Cambay, although specific campaign contributions are little known.

The Peace Keepers are featured here with the PSG1 Sniper Rifle, M23 SOCOM Pistol, G36 Assault Rifle and M47 Tactical Shotgun. All CPKF Sentiels are armed with the SW500 (for them sure shots) and M47's (more sure shots)

Previously posted and reviewed at MOCpages.

About the Logo
Every organisation has a trademark. I wanted to give my Commonwealth Peace Keepers a flag that was unique and distinguishable as my own. It incorporates the Olive Branches of Peace, the Flying Kangaroo, the Southern Cross, Federation Star, a starfield and a variation of the Lego Classic Space logo.

The CPKF Insiginia was composed bit by bit <i>pixel by pixel</i> in Adobe Elements using the following sources as guides:

- Royal Australian Air Force ingsinia for the 'roo
- Flag of the United Nations for the branches
- Flag of the Commonwealth of Australia for the Southern Cross & Federation Star
- Lego Classic Space logo for the flying spaceship*
- NASA insignia for the additional stars.


*The spaceship itself was replaced by the profile of the Mutdang Aerospace single seat fighter, designed and built in the late 1990's. I recreated the Mutdang using MLCAD and using the image data I incorporated it into the CPKF insignia.

Well done, it is a nice picture, but was it drawn?

Thanks fellas. The torsos used for the CPKF Sentinels are from the SW Lobot minifigs.

I have a history/profile/backstory/fiction for most of my 'fig troopers. What you see online is pretty much the tip of the iceberg. I'll be seeping out more over time.

(It was my second post, and I wasn't too sure. I thought "BA Inspired" earlier becasue I considered the photo to be a bit artsy.)

Very impressive! Vehicles, troops, and, of course, BrickArms! I will eagerly await more of your creations.

Very cool, the graphic in the background adds to the serious expressions of the figs.

Send in the Clones That's very thoughtful of you! Thank you - I appreciate it : )

Ironb3rry Thank you. I kinda like to take a bit of time with composition.

Brickfan93 More over time... unfortunately time is something I'm short of these days.

Wow. That is amazing! I love the graphic and the genius of the glass table. The figs are great and nice photo. I hope we get to see more of Great Admiral Joz's troops.
