Not sure if you've finished his 'Bine but it looks a bit too white I'd put an ever so slight grey wash to grubby it up Chris really like how it's going though Chris 
not my period so can't comment over much on colours etc but looks right to me

Re how to get that effect modify Gell's excellent how to for boots is my advice http://www.planetfigure.com/pages/Painting-Leather-Boots/ I've used it for leather armour and coats etc works a treat

Looking good Chris. For the leather effect, check out Ron Tamburrini's recent verlinden pilot threads:
http://www.planetfigure.com/threads/verlinden-fighter-pilot.61822/
He uses burnt umber over tamiya deck tan but any light brown colour works just as well. I use vallejo brown sand for example.
Cheers,
Billy

Hi Guys
An update with the progress have done face on other bust ,a few little tweaks here and there eye brows but on the whole pleased with the result , have hair to do and tweak the ammo bandolier highlights and shadows ,toning on uniforms .
Need to dry brush the helmet on the 2nd bust and complete the leather effect of jerkin and tweak the wood on rifles .Oh and paint Monmouthshire on shoulders how could I forget that little task lol
Getting there and I must say this has been a really enjoyable project , please any critic , or where I missed something let me know .

Hi Chris ,
We saw these last night at the SWFM meeting and I was impressed the way they have come together ..the leather jekin is a brill bit of effects and the 2 pieces really work well together ..glad you toned down the 5 o'clock shadow a bit.
The helmet cam on both is really well done
Nice base from El Jimbo ( well know wiggy of this parish)
Do you realise that Monmouthshire has 11 letters ..Mmmm that a total of 4 x 11 = 44 to paint ..He he
.....one comment though...where are the legs
Thanks for sharing
