Top work nice realistic feel for other subject in understated tones . Especially good work on AN PRC77 set & smoke grenades just like I remember them to be

Happy 2013

Matt, that is just awesome. You've got the colours spot on. Are those decals on the smoke grenades and do they come with the kit? Lovely work.
Cheers

 

[BigDaddy]

thanks, the decals are from ArmsCorp models in Australia. Also included are decals for the radio.

I was just going to ask...they look fantastic!
The whole bust is very smooth, the wear and tear looks just right to me! Well done!

Wonderful work, really like what you have done with this figure. Like the flesh and uniform tones you have captured.
Very well done.

G'day Matt,
Very nice job mate.
Thanks for the plug. Considering I have sent out over 100 sets of these decals, maybe I should get the figure as well.
Cheers Jason

Thanks guys!! This was a great kit to paint. Good one for those who are starting out with busts. Jason's decals are the way to go too. I used to paint the stencils by hand. What a pain in the arse. Work smarter, not harder.
