Thanks everyone for the comments.  Never  can get enough honest critiques. Thanks again.

Hey pretty darn cool and I love the base. I hope your friend was impressed!

Good advice there from the guys, Give their ideas a whirl and your next bust will be even better

Some thoughts...

First, you've done a realy nice job in displaying this bust. Much nicer than a simple plinth.

Add some pupils to the eyes. With a blue as light as that, you want to try for a couple shades, a darker ring around the iris, for example. Also, adding a catch light, a tiny dot of white will give a lot of life to your eyes. Look at the eye on the left of the first picture Gino posted above this to see what I mean.

Next, avoid white for teeth. Go with an ivory or even very light tan with ivory highlights, instead.

Three, work on keeping your colors on what you are painting.. There's a lot of paint where it's not supposed to be, e.g. green on the helmet buckle.

You have some sort of stringy thing across the left *** pocket.

Finally, try to add more highlight and shading across the board. Take a look at the stuff on Planet Figure and TimeLines Forums to see what I mean.

It looks pretty nice.  You have done a great job on the BDUs.  There are only two issues I see with it.  The first is the 198th patches on the sleeves.  They are way too small.  They should be about the size of the space on the sleeves.  The other is the camo face paint.  It looks way too dark and uniform.  I have worn it and seen it and you can usually see the skin tone through it, esp. around the eyes, ears, mouth, and neck.  Also, there are areas were flesh still shows through.  You rarely see it covering everywhere.

Here are some examples:
