Another fantastic result Ski! Cheers, kempie

Simply stunning mate. Absolutely superb!! Cheers, kempie

Guys, I appreciate all the input. Just to put your minds at rest, here are pictures of the three figures that will be involved. The way I see it one is in the tunnel, one is peering in after him and the final one is providing security. Using available figures I think this is a reasonable...

Wow Ned, that is a whole bunch of great info there!! Hugely grateful for that and I will try to work some of that into a coming diorama. To that end, I also bought a copy of “The Tunnels of Cu Chi” which I read years ago. I’d obviously appreciate any observations you may have as it develops...

Thanks Ski, I’m still finding my way with acrylics but happy with where I’m heading. I have a real interest in the Nam era so Bravo6 is a real treat after being used to the plastic Dragon figures I started on. Cheers, kempie

Looking great Ski, you’ve definitely got your groove on!

Chris, I believe it is a cable spool for the hand set on his belt. Khaki for contrast and interest only. I intend to add a short length of lead wire connecting it to the hand set. Cheers, Chris

Thanks Red and Nap for your kind comments. Much appreciated. Hopefully the changes I have made are visible. Not only the fairly stark sweat stain but also a slightly olive glaze over the trousers and tweaking the highlights along with some mud/dirt stains. Crazy the rabbit holes we lose...

It’s nearly finished but still WIP. Works busy so with one weekend off in three I thought I’d have a go at starting and finishing a simple fig. Didn’t quite get there as it still needs weathering but I thought I’d seek some extra eyes and maybe some suggestions for improvement. So far...

What a project Ski. Definitely something new from you and I cannot wait to see what you do with it! Cheers, kempie

Getting close to the finish line with this one. All elements at least base painted and much has had at least initial shading and highlighting. The ammo belt was one of the more challenging modelling tasks I have attempted but is a little underwhelming now. Lesson learned is to get it in place...

Ski, brother I’ve just re read the entire SBS. As soon as I recover from bouncing a hammer off the ol noggin I’m gonna get some brushes wet and try to vibe off your enthusiasm and talent!! Thanks for sharing your journey mate.

Well Ski, you have managed to bring this together into a whole that is greater than the individual parts. This is highlighted by the brilliant photography of the end result. Congratulations mate, you have much to be proud of. Thanks for letting us join in on your journey. Cheers, kempie

Nailed it Ski, absolutely superb. Can’t wait to see the finished project. Incredibly inspiring to watch you work through all the separate aspects and bring them together into a seamless result. Cheers, kempie

Love it Ski, just great!!

Stunning Tony, simply stunning!! Cheers, kempie

Thanks Jed, appreciate it. Pretty much finished this one for now. Will weather and had antenna/ handset cable and rifle sling once I decide how I want to base it up. Appreciate the input provided and if there is any more constructive criticism or feedback you can offer to make next one better...

Many thanks guys, I appreciate your encouragement. Jimmy, I’ll see what I can do on toning down the black in the shading stage. Cheers, kempie

Wow, Warren that’s generous praise indeed. Thank you very much!!

Although I enjoyed the focus, I’m a bit tiger striped out so here’s something a little different. @Tony Dawe was nice enough to publish his mixes for both fresh and worn ERDL uniforms so I thought I’d see if I could use them to decent effect. After a day or so I think I’m off to a good start...
