Cheers mate. Its always great to get feedback. I always find denison (and to a lesser extent dpm) to be relatively easy to paint at least compared to German patterns. I treat it like watercolours and let the brush create the strokes as they would have done with the real thing.

I almost always apply matt varnish to uniforms. I cant seem to control the sheen levels of acrylic paint. The eyes are just high gloss without white dots.

Done the webbing texture on the belt and removed the little block on the chin strap. Done a bit on the texture for the webbing straps but lots more to do.

Nice to see textures being applied

Look forward to more on this
