Sorry for the delay in replying fellas. So much to do of late. Thanks for all your comments and everything you have said has been appreciated and noted..
rjkplasticmod.... yeah, the eyes do tend to stare a little. Looking at them i think it is because there is too much white near the nose. I could fix it i guess but in a way i would like to leave this as a ' this is what my first attempts were like ' model. I can just try and improve and use this to look back and see where i was.... if that makes sense?....

Irish335.... thanks mate. Maybe i will attempt to ' bring up some of the grime '. Your right about that. I did impress the figure into the ' mud ' a little to give the impression of him sinking slightly. When i did this figure i wasn't really up to speed with all these little details that can make or break a model. Maybe i will use some pastels mixed into some paint? The hardest part is trying to match the colour now. It may look odd if the colour varies too much....maybe.
101stAirborne.... thanks for the encouragement mate!
New Hampshire.... thanks mate. Funny you say that about the ' thousand yard stare ' beacuse i have always thought that too. It's just a coincidence it went that way. I know the eyes are not quite right but they do have that glazed over staring into nothing appearance....it is kind of fitting . Thanks for the comment.
