looking good Rob
but could do with some pictures taken against a light blue back gound as this will help high light your figure a little better. i use a light blue bed sheet as it will allow a large back ground (some of my dioramas) as well as smaller item (figures etc)

Thanks for your tip Keith, I will give it a go. Ive always struggled with back-drops etc, its hard to get the correct colour, but this idea sounds good.

Rob, I would go with a little darker shade of flesh tone. The figure looks a tad pasty. Also, I would add some more shadowing in the folds of the clothes. It appears you used some shadowing on the face, but more highlighting would bring out the 3 dimensionality a little better, which is also why I would go w/ a darker basic flesh tone, so you can highlight the face without it looking too pasty.
Will you have this in a dio or vignette?

I think the Vest look great! What colors did you use? It's always a battle, for me anyways, to figure which color to use for the woodland camo pattern!
PS. Figure looks good!
