Pretty good. I think the camouflage is too connected though and the patches should be more seperate with more of the yellow background showing

A nice little figure Antoine,I go with Pats comments on the cammo dispertion and colour and if you attached the helmet chin straps to the rim of the helmet it would improve the overall look of your figure and perhaps a sling for the garand

Hi,

thank a lot for ur constructive comments.For the chin strap I would like to represent the yankees from the 2nd armored that were a bit like cow boy (I read the excellent book D-DAY by Antony Beevor) and I still have a little work to do in the figurine.At this moment I paint the bear to make him in operation since few days) As for the cammo uniform its a bit complicate and as the figure was de 1st of the series I repaint it 2 times before to arrived to this result that I was glad with the overlook.Its quit difficult the camo But with ur advice the next figurines were ll be improved.I will post futher pictures and I will start to plan my step by step with my color references.
