Hey Manny, Yes I really like the Alpine set's and the Ultra cast heads are just incredably detailed. I beleive that is half the battle on figures starting with quuality resin figures.  I really like the Tank figures as well but unless the 70's were more harmful to me than I remember they seem more like 1\32 scale than 1\35 but maybe it's just hurs staring through a magnifier.  Do you have any suggestions on which direction to go on the uniform colors?  I am just going o jump in but I am hestiant to get it wrong on such a nice $$ figure, but hey that's why they call it a learning curve!

Thanks Man! I don't know I am 43 and I am really impressed by the fact that I didn't mess this guy up! 

Here is a shot of what it's looking like now.  I just have to paint Insiginia markings, buttons, and such and then he is done.

Hi Everyone,

I was able to finish the final details on the figure tonight and I feel like I accomplished my goals for this WIP.  I feel more comfortable with painting faces and uniform and equipment colors.

Thank you to everyone that stopped by for a peek and the people who posted commentary and suggestions it is appreciated!

Here are some final pics and again thanks for the support.

He's really something, Edmund.  You are fast becoming my figure guru, particularly since you always find time to share and teach.

That is a model in itself, it looks very well done from every angle you shot.  I hope to progress in any factor of what you have shown.  Keep up the fantastic work.
