Cammo looks good man! Straps came out great as well. I like the wire ring you put on the spare barrel carrier for the strap. Nice detail.
If you want a few tips for tweeking this guy I would start with the collar tabs. You painted the army version while he has an SS smock?. You can add a bit of detail popping by painting the metal stud detail on the bottom of his boots? Plus,I think his noggin is a bit high and could use a neck reduction surgery ?
Minor things but you did ask! LoL
He does look very nice though buddy and you should be proud of him.Only a figure geek like me would notice the things I pointed out probably.
