                        Nice, I like the way it is turning out.

                        Wow...you've got some serious skills...nice effect on the tanned skin and bleached-out uniform...I like the 6'oclock shadow better on this one...camo on helmet and poncho-roll is also very nicely rendered...

                        Thank you Eric and Agent G.

                        Agent G thanks for the correction on the blanket-helmet thing...I guess you can tell I am not a Marine!  I will have to fix that. Big Smile [:D]

                        updated photos, without fix:

                        Another excellent piece buddho! The uniform seems to bright green for my taste. I see a faded uniform as more tannish than mint greenish, though this might be a matter of taste.
                        Still a brilliantly painted piece.

                        I agree with Taco ... Although it shouldn't be all that difficult to "wash out" that green color. Just keep playing with it ...

                        I think that you nailed the face! Lookin' good so far!
