                        Nice work on the camo schemes. Close enough that the viewer knows what he's looking at.

                        The binocular lenses need to be painted gloss black, looks like he has the lens caps on.

                        The first step is to narrow the eyes down. Use a fine tipped brush and reduce their height with your flesh tone. Also, don't use pure white, it's too stark. I use Vallejo pale flesh for the whites of my eyes. Next, work on getting more highlights and shadows on the flesh. This is made easier by mixing your own flesh colors.

                        Looks like a couple gun tips have been bent.

                        Remember, if the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy.

                        This is my first time posting pics of some of my figure sets. Some are OLD, one set is the most recent. I use only acrylics and enamels for my finishing so any helpful hints with these paints will be much appreciated...

                        Start with the oldest, Dragon 1/35 ODS  US Marine Tank Killers completed around 10 years ago...

                        Dragon 1/35 101st Airborne ODS completed at the same time as the above set

                        Dragon MACV/SOG from around 8 years ago or so

                        And lastly Trumpeter 1/35 Panzer Grenadiers, Poland 1939, completed at the end of this summer

                        As you can tell, figure painting is NOT my strong point.

                        Thanks for looking and your upcoming advicePropeller [8-]
