**Finished** Tank Commander "Pops" Bust
Posted by Gamewarden5 on Friday, November 28, 2008 9:05 PM

Another bust I am working on for a group build on another site.

First photo is primed and base coats applied

Second Photo is Coat pretty much completed minus a couple of details and the face painted.

All constructive comments are welcome.

I can't say for sure there were NO green tanker jackets in World War II but the norm was light khaki like this:

The helmet also looks too green

Remember, if the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy.

I appreciate the information. To be honest I did not research the jacket colors but tried to mimic the painting suggestions on the box.

The helmet is a shade greener than the sources I found on the internet.
