Thanks for looking, and for the feedback, guys. Jerry, of all the seam lines I did notice after finishing, I still managed to miss that one. Thanks for pointing it out.

Stick... I appreciate the nudge on the diamond placement. Should've researched that a little more.

Overall gorgeous work. My only critique is that the orange Ranger Battalion diamond on the rear of the helmet should be above the white horizontal NCO stripe, not covering it. Your skin and clothing work is awesome to see. Beautifully realistic work. Thumbs Up [tup]

Beautiful work. I can see a little bit of a seam on the back of his boot, but it's no too bad (the seams on my figures are much worse). And he seems to have a little bit of shine on him from the oils, but that might just be the camera. Overall I'd say this is a fantastic job!

At only 1/35th scale I think your painting is outstanding. I sculpt and paint 1/6th scale busts that don,t look half as good.

Thanks, ya'll. He's 1/35. Still have to touch up here and there; scabbard needs coat of olive drab, Thompson sling needs some shading, laces on leggings needs to be highlighted. I can also see, from the bottom shot, that the head didn't quite "sit down" fully down into the collar, I can see a small gap in there. Optivisors FAIL.

Might add a Hudson and Allen "U.S." decal to the canteen... I dunno, that's a pretty tiny decal, but the blankness jumps out at me, at this enlargement. But, that's why I snapped these shots- for editing / fine tuning sake.

Then, I'll seal him for real, and will weather him with pigments to "put him in the field", unless anyone sees anything that I missed or painted incorrectly.

Here's a couple of different angles...

Just something in the finalizing stages, he will go on a small terrain base after a couple more shots of matte sealer. Warriors fig, Archer transfers, oils and Vallejo. This guy was something I did to get myself started back into the hobby. Feel free to critique the heck out of it. It's all good...

Thanks for looking.
