Beautiful paint job, but I would say that the position of the arms (especially the left one) is a little akward. I think the figure is sculpted that way but maybe it could be corrected).

Good job!

Great job.For the life of me I can't get that camo perfect for 1/35.I'm actually glad to hear that most guys are being supplied with new multi cam.Do you have any special technique or strictly using a brush?

Excellent work! You have done an amazing job here. I tried the same figure with the digital camo decals, but not with nearly as nice a result. Please note that in the sulpture the left hand is holding a smoke behind his leg. It looks natural if you see that he is holding the smoking cigarette down and off his leg. Great figure. Great work!

Very nice work! I think its important to remember that in this scale the ACU pattern would blur into whats basically a grey tone. It would be nearly impossible for the individual pixels to be visible if shrunk to 35th scale.

Is that Digital ACU cammo the decals that are coming out lately??? I have had a heck of a time getting them to settle down over figures correctly. What did you do to make it work

Thanks all! I used a 000 paint brush to draw the camouflage the base color is desert sand and the camo's color is desert sand mix with flat black! All of them are Academy color! These are my colors =] and paint brushes

This is one of the best figures I've ever seen. Some others may have you on the face, but the camo turned out perfect. The boots are almost an exact match. My dad was in the military and still buys military issue clothing, guns, sunglasses, web gear, etc.

THAT is an incredible paint job! It looks fantastic. I thought it was decal it is so lifelike. I have bought those new decal sheets and I think your paint looks better!

Incidentally, the decals dont settle well sofar.. I am testing different setting solutions to see if one works better than another
