Completed SF Operator, Afghanistan - Knight Models 70mm

[Alex M.]

Hello Planeteers!

I've recently finished this gem of a figure! Knight Models - SF Operator, modelled after all those front page gracing photos of the bearded SF guys in Afghanistan. More photos on my blog - The Bent Bristle

Painted fully with acrylics - Reaper, Vallejo, and Lifecolor.

Enjoy!

Great job Alex
Having seen this figure in the "flesh", I can testify that this is an outstanding piece of work.
I'm gonna need to pick your brain on US uniform greens circa Viet Nam... 20th century is your baillywick so I defer to your expertise
As for this figure, the SF swagger is displayed at it's fullest. Great execution and lots of character.
What's next on your plate? If I'm doing OD green, maybe it's time for you to mix up some reds and blues

Thanks for the kind words!
As for next, funny that you mention it, I've been all consumed watching Spartacus, and a 75mm Myrmillo is next!

Keep us up on some "in progress" shots of that... sounds cool

I've got this assembled and undercoated, hope to get started on it soon, but if I can get anywhere near that standard I would be delighted, great job!

Looking good, mate Looking forward to seeing it in Guelph in a couple of weeks

 

[Alex M.]

I'll bring it just for you Paul!
Thanks Darren - the figure kind of paints itself, very nice lines on it!

It's very "Chuck Norris" but I do like this figure and you've done a very nice job on it.
