Gday Chris
Mate, that is a very effective headwound and bandage!
By plumbers mate, do you mean teflon tape for sealing threads etc.?
It looks the part...
The blood in the bandage is spot-on, and the staining down on his collar is suitably darker... Anywhere the blood is thick and congealed, it would be very dark scarlet, to almost black ...
The colours used for his pants, gaiters and boots are quite convincing...
The helmet would get the camo cover, right?
Cheers and post more progress!

Hi Lewis

Thanks for takining the effort to post a reply and your comments as you can tell from my style of modling,i try to take a stock figure and make it a bit different, strange it might be nice its ...not...lol lol.
I get a bit tired of the same old thing we are very often depicting war and not everyone was drinking tea and having a fag ,,,rear echelon so to speak and they very often are the ones at assoceation meetings with more medal ribbons tham Feild Marshal Montgomery...and never left Kent.
War is a dirty awful thing it just a pity more figure companys dont depict more accurate representations of what being in COMBAT is about and hell you get wounded dirty and tired .
Cheers Chris
