here are some pics of a refurbished russian figure i did. i built and painted it about a year ago, but it really sucked then so last week i decided to re-do it. the face is oil painted and the rest is tamiya acrylics. i plan on putting this in a little vignette/dio with the him taking a smoke break alongside an abandoned german foxhole. comments and criticisms are appreciated.

nice job on the figure dude!

I think you got the color of his clothing just about right.
one remark tho maybe you should dirty up his boots. he looks like a very clean russian soldier.
if thats the idea behind the figure then forget that I said anything, finishe that vignette and show us

thanks for the comments.i do plan on dirtying up his boots, i just havent really gotten around to it. i also forgot to say the fig was from the tamiya russian assault troops kit. ill be sure to get that dragon set of tankers. i enjoy doing russian troops. its a nice change of pace from the tons of german sets out there.
