Keith ... Cheers! 
I'm undecided about the goggles reflection. Being plate glass the reflection will be un distorted, might be a bit much visually. Still I could always paint it out again
Hi Mark. Figure is progressing very nicely,unbelievable realism. I really like this one.
I did try the moutainous reflection using xara coral. All I did was to leave the dark grey background and add thin almost imperceptible subtle snowy peaks, using only two colours blue/grey for the light side and purple for the shadow. I was surprised how good it was for such a simple few brush strokes.
Looking forward to the completion of this figure.
Cheers Keith

My wife hates people like you. After seeing this I have just had to go and order one for myself. Nice job.

Very well done Mark, I like all I see so far. I have taken a look moving away a little from my pc and the realism is amazing. Only the closer view reveals, that this is a painting work.

Minor update as I have a few pieces in to prep
painted the body of the back pack .... AV Olive Drab then AV Khaki and finally Khaki with AV Light Flesh as a Highlight.
I might make the creases sharper but I'm going to do the leather work first to check it balances with the rest

Grüß Di' Mark,
Excellent work on your Soviet Mountain Trooper!
I would recommend that you lighten up the rope to make it pop. Period climbing rope was made of hemp and is very light in color. Here are a few examples from my collection:
