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.

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.

updated photos, without fix:

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...
