Completed Young Miniatures.German Infantry Russian Front

[Tarracus]

Hi all,
Here's my contribution to this well known bust from Young Miniatures.Almost finished it still needs some touches on leathers and the buckle.I must say It was the first time I tried the "hairspray" technique to simulate the chipping and resulted pretty funny
Hope You like it and of course comments/criticism are welcome.

Hey Gerard- Every aspect of this bust looks absolutely fantastic! I'd say the hairspray technique worked out perfectly also . I love how the leather turned out, especially on the soles of the boots.
