Completed US Sergeant Platoon Movie Charachter

[Tommi]

Hi Folks

Finally got something finished after many months of nothingness. This piece is for a private collector. It’s the US Sergeant dude from the movie Platoon. The kit is from Maim Miniatures and is the first one I have ever painted from this manufacturer. Kit was a breeze to assemble and not much prep work to do. It is 1/10th scale.

All painted in Life Colour and Reaper acrylics.

Not really my era of interested but still an interesting paint.

All comments good or bad most welcome. Sorry for the bad lighting and washed out images.

Cheers

Tom Berenger was the actor. This is him in the film:

Good likeness. He’s a lot chunkier nowadays but, then, aren’t we all?

Great finish Tommi! Are Life Colour and Reaper acrylics good?

No worries, the action figure is a very well done representation of Sgt. Barnes.

Great work Tommi the greens are not easy to pull off. Is this the weapon that came with the kit as Barnes carried a CAR-15 throughout the movie?
