Very nicely done Andy.The early Dragon stuff needed some work doing on them but at least they started giving us a change from the usual wwii stuff. The colour match came out nice there.
Competing against others there will always be better or worse. Competing against yourself you can only get better,but only, only! if you learn from your mistakes.

Yeah those old Dragon figures are nowhere near what we are used to today, the experiment was to get the cammo right that is why I used these old parts (did'nt want to mess up a nice resin figure !!!)

Cyril,
The face camo is vallejo acrylic black grey and the same with a little flesh mix added for the highlights. It's not strictly accurate but I think it looks OK without completely obscuring the face. (Although the photos are a bit rubbish !)
Happy to help if you have any other questions.
Andy
