All parts are on, just the gun sling to attach. Then on to weathering( shading) the uniform and blending the figure into the groundwork. Maybe a little more flesh work to finish him off.

Comments welcomed

Great paint job.

Great face from what I can see.
So question when done do you hit with a dull coat?

He looks great. What colours did you use for the uniform? Ive tried to paint US Airborne troops before but could never get the colour how I wanted it. You seem to have got it spot on

Hi
Yes, I will dull cote the uniform when done. The uniform was painted with a mix of Green gray and Russian uniform from the Vallejo. Someone on here and planet figure gave me some advice on colours(thankyou)

Hi Ryally,
Great paint job so far!
I have a few questions if you allow.
What scale and brand is teh figure? I am guessing 1/16th scale?
How did you do the airborne patch, is it a decal or hand painted? Is it possible to make a close up of that?
Thanks!
Keep us posted on your progress!
Cheers

Hi Heli
The figure is from S&T and is 120mm. The patch I took from another figure. I will put more pics up on my site when finished
Thanks
