Hi there

Great to see this painted up , that's a heck of a lot of camo ...well done , nice work on the LAW and SK grenades , nice weathering especially the boots

I would add wings if he was ex Gds Para ...just a personal thing

He didn't wear them, didn't feel the need. Or the SAS ones either.

Ummmm...I will go with the alternative suggestion that he 'found' the helmet...! Excellent DPM painting of a very complex camo scheme to get 'right' and this one is excellent.

Great job on the camouflage!

The two tone cam cream looks a bit Apocalypse Now. In 1982, wasn't everyone just using the concentrated brown evil that came in a rubber balloon with a screw top?

In 82 we had the two tone. That's why I used it.
