Thanks Jim. One more session should finish it.

Looks superb Peter. How do you paint up the leather parts please?

[Guest]

Cheers Mick.

The harness is matt black with wear along the edges and holes added with thinned red leather. It was finally given a coat of satin varnish.

The leather straps on the ammo pouches etc were done with saddle brown lightened with white. The outlines were drawn in with black/brown.

Hi Lee

Mouse grey, field grey, camo and all reversible.

Seeing them in the " flesh " is something else Peter .
Luckily having the real thing at hand to look at I can appreciate how he must look look in that scale .:thumb2::thumb2::thumb2:

[Guest]

Hi John - Tamiya haven't quite got them right as the trigger finger should emerge from the palm of the mitten. They're more like this felt type which didn't have the drawstring

[JR]

Can you get round that with out surgery ?

[Guest]

I'm going to leave them John - It doesn't bother me at all, especially as the MP44 will hide those parts.

[Lee Drennen]

Peter. Thanks for the leg work showing us those “Mittens” I called them gloves my bad.

[Guest]

Lee - 'mittens' sounds so childish doesn't it?
