for the next bit of work.. i painted some white on the hood and cuffs of the camo jacket. then lighter grey to the cap, and a light grey/green colour to the trousers. and then i tried to make the buckles on the gaitors more noticeable.

Excellent paint work on the figure Bobby, I do like the 'extras' you have put on him, great stuff....

Keep in mind where he is though, he's going to be covered in muck, dust and god knows what else!

Terrific stuff, I'm enjoying watching nearly as much as you are building it.

Cheers,

Ron

okay, that's the figure fully painted. tried my best, lol. touched up the face a little bit more, then got to work on all the equipment. also painted up the rifle and MP40. next i've cut out some lengths of plastic to use for the equipment straps, i'll paint then black/brown and glue them into place.

finished sniper figure.

well, thats the figure finally completely done. i think he's looking not 2 bad. (i still think i might try oils with my next figure, acrylics can look a bit rough, probably coz they dry so quickly). but i'm still happy with him. and think he'll look great placed in postion on the dio.

the last touches where to glue the gun straps on, lightly brush a bit of varnish onto the face (just to give it a light shine so it wasn't so flat), then i brush glued a little dusty dirt to his knee's and on his boots.

Bobby, you have every right to be happy with him.

The painting and the extra bits you've added to the figure, like the building, is a credit to you.

Well done,

Ron
