[Tarracus]

Aloha there!
Quite tired of this, so I 'll call it finished!!

 

[Meehan34]

that is freaking awesome work sir. This could easily be version 2 of the boxart.

 

[Ron Tamburrini]

Great finish and I see you got round the right eye problem
Jacket is superb as is the rest of it.

Thanks Mike.. but do not exaggerate

 

[Joe55]

I agree with Mike. You did a super job on this Leatherneck and by the way, the name plate is cool too!

I agree with the others. Could easely be a box art painting.

I just dont like the metal parts of the rifle, and also the wood part... .well the rifle paint does not justice to your paint....

I konw what you mean, the rifle looks much better in real life. the problem is that I apllied a coat of varnish and don't know why looks awful in the photo

A stunning result, Gerard - beautifully painted, and I love the name plate too.

Gerard,

In my opinion, your version is better than the box art, and that's the best compliment I can give. Awesome.

Gerard,

I am a huge fan of Lee's painting but the more I look at this the more I am starting to think the same as Mr. Dawe.

 

[Tarracus]

Thanks guys! ...I'm blushing now..

 

[salonikios]

Great Work!

 

[Sturm Grenadier]

Hello Gerard, Unbelievable! A true work of art. I liked the idea of the other helmet, but your finished result is truly remarkable. Also, have to agree with the others, if your rendering were the boxart, I would be inspired to purchase it. Congrats on this one. Regards, SG

 

[Romque]

such a tricky job on the right eye and the shirt is quite good well done

 

[Jeff T]

Gee that is beautiful work Gerard!

Brilliant!


Cheer's,
Jeff.

 

[Edorta]

Graet painting and nice presentation. Seems difficult to handle, the right eye wink. I like how do you paint the skin tones, the striped fabric of the uniform and helmet. In some way, it gives very well the heat of the jungle.
