Rick~ Thank you for that post --the pleasure is all mine. It's a real compliment that you're enjoying putting up some images of my work 
Richard~ Hey no trouble --I know what you mean--I didn't show the in-effective photo angles (someone here will fail to read the text and try to advise me 
) I did try a comprimise in the next post that my be similar to what I'll end up doing. . Thanks again for the fine remarks!
Jet~ Aahaaaha--that's why I wrote that there 
no biggy M8! I appreciate your post Buddy--good to have you around.
OK, here's one more WIP update before I get this chap all-together
Yeah, I got rid of the blue background for this--looked like it may have cast some tinge to the otherwise decent pics. that time.
~~I 'dry?' fit the stock helmet a little 'off' to the side with
---a tiny dab of sugery bubble-gum (My goofy-but effective substitute for not having any blue-tac handy)
I completed the winter PAC boots this figure is equiped with, (which we're near-black rubber over near-black leather). For the leather I mixed 950 Black & Ger. Camo Blk Brown and a little 917 Beige to highlight slightly---and for the rubber , Black & 845 Sunny Skintone . A new pair of these had little contrast but I didn't want them just looking like plain black boots. The laces wer're carefully done with a mix from mostly 860 Med Fleshtone.
I had did some more work to the trousers after looking very closly again, and corrected some highlights and I like the subtle differences.
Next update should have this Gent finished....thanks for following..................
A pair of these boots someone was off'ing on Ebay
