                        Some pics of 2 USMC figures I built.  Rather heavily modified from the DML figure set .  

                        For some reason the coyote brown gear appears greenish on the pics than they are in real life.  Oh well.

                        Comments most welcome.

                        Thanks all!

                        Mississippi, I used 000 and 0000 brushes to paint the camo.  After preshading, painted the brown first, then the green, then the black and then the buff and then the re-touches.

                        They came out great Allan! I can understand using a small brush to paint the camo but that's a LOT of patience to get right! Kudos sir!

                        Holy Moly! You did the pattern by hand? Wow! That is outstanding! They have a nice faded use look, as good field uniforms should.

                        Those guys look awesome. You could try a pic in sunlight.

                        Thank you sir. Actually, I saw figure pics using a black background and I thought I'd try that. I may just have to go back to open sunlight.
