***UPDATE***
Sorry that it's been awhile. I haven't had a lot of time to build let alone check all that's been going on here. Seems like everyone is staying busy, so that's good. So, psst ... now that finals are through are we going to see more progress this summer or are you taking summer classes?
Well, I thought that if I showed my ugly mug here, I'd better at least show an update ....So here goes ...
I'm pretty much complete with the face/ head. I'm still not 100% on if I'm going to add in a 5 o'clock shadow or not. I've got a few more coats of Future to add to the glasses and I've got a small "decal" to add to the cap, but other than that ... it's pretty done.
I've gotten a lot done with the body, but it's going very slow. Given what I've gotten done, I'm going to change the belt and the knee pad to be black, and the camelbak is going to be either OD green or foliage green. I'm also going to thicken the dark brown stripes on the uniform a little. I think they are too thin. The golves will the OD w/ black detail. And the weapon will be painted black and then heavily washed/ painted with tans and browns. I'm not all that excited about the coloring right now, but granted I've still got a ton of weathering to do.
Here the original green came out to .... green. So I gave it a wash of the base color to lighten it up. It helped a lot, but I may go back over it a couple more times before I add in shadows and highlights.
I want to keep going on things tonight, but I'm going to force myself to take a break until tomorrow. Give me honest opinions/ thoughts. Don't hold back, I've never done this camo scheme, so I need to know.
Enjoy!
