Completed 101st airborne division buste

[VisjeMar]

Hi all, a new project
After the not so great female sniper I went back to
Young miniatures again.
One of the older bustes but it’s a Nice piece

The face is painted With vallejo and life color.

The right side needs Some more blending work

I’ve added more camouflage pieces to make the helmet more attractive and to cover up some casting errors
I’ve used 2 component greenstuff for this
