Thanks for all your help and tips guys, the final photos are posted in the Figures forum. the advice and input from people in this forum really helped me out a lot and in the end produced a better figure. the encouragement also kept me going at a few times where I was ready to sack these two chaps!!!

Thanks and I can't want to see what else is coming from this build!!!
(I MAY try to turn out another figure before this is done... another brit)

I had the priveledge to add Porkchops pictures to the official RMG Gallery. You can find his, and other, entries over here :

Hey nate ... just wanna say one thing.........
Wish this was sitting on my shelf! Love the faces ..... so real!
Ok thats more than one but, this is excellent. Great work!

PB: Thanks again, but it really was the comments of the people in this firum (and my wife's honesty) that made this a better figure.
I'm just glad we have this build which has given me a chance to met a few of the Dutch members of this site as well as figure out how to do that camo pattern (i think the basic colors will apply to the modern DPM pattern as well, though the pattern is much different.)
