Great work on the figure, I like the sun bleached effect and good use of the fine marker pen to draw the badge.

Hope you get well soon, I look forward to viewing more of you work.

It looks done to me Chris, well done on completing and least we've got a vehicle and some troops in to represent the ground forces in amongst all the fliers :grin: That old kit is nicely detailed, I still love the texture Monogram got into that tarp and the dry brushing has really brought it out. When you get round to it, I'm sure that figure set and the vehicle will produce a good diorama.

Thanks guys, October was a rough month for me, with the arthritis and last saturday cracking a rib.

The truck is a great little kit and cheap enough for anyone to pickup and not feel like they overspent.

The figures cost nearly as much as the truck, but worse it, I have a friend who is an expert on the uniforms of the vietnam war and he said the figures were 95% accurate and the best molds he had yet seen for those troops. They are a little expensive, slightly more then dragon figures but you really need them, the kit supplied ones were just horrible.

Great job Chris.
One part strikes me is the way you've done the tilt. It just looks so right.

Its not just how good your painting is, its how good the touch-ups are too.
