SWR thanks it's slow but its coming along as you say.
got a little more done.was finishing up the face when once again I had a slip up. so before I re re re wash it I decided to try my hand at an invasion blackout face. got the sgt.stripes done and some work on the flag. feedback on the face will help me decide if I leave it or wash and repaint. sorry for the bad pics lost my back up light source.

Hello everyone , I think I will be calling this one done. I have some minor touch ups buts nothing to repost about. still not 100 % about the face but I wanted to try the invasion blackout just once (and that's all it will be too once ). other than that I feel real good with the finish product. don't know what my next project will be but might try some 1/35 scene maybe. last thing I will do is finish the base when the weather gets warmer it's 7 degrees here in Missouri
again thanks for all your kind words on this one.
Rick.

Lovely job Rick. I like the cam cream look a lot.The only problem with it is that the face is such a lovely sculpt it seems a shame to cover it up!

Hi Rick
I like that a lot. Beautifully painted and the blackout face works although I can understand why you would want to paint it with a normal face.

thank you SWR for your kind words. it was a joy to paint.

Jon.
I really didn't want to do the black face but after messing up the real face I decided to try the blackout face before I re washed and repainted.I got alot of positive feedback on it I thought I just might keep it that way(even though I'm not sold on it).
Jim
it is a great face with alot to work with and I already ordered another one just like it to do it in it's original form.

thank you John. I was not happy with the face so I decided to just try again at the face. this time I reached out to Peter Day and he gave me some real good advise so I took it and the end results are to my liking . big thank you Peter. I did in the process of removing the head broke the chinstraps and airborne straps so I took my last bit of lead foil and made some. I then finished the base and added an airborne emblem. so i'm finally once and for all calling this one done. Sorry for the bad pictures

Looking great Rick. I liked the blackened face, but if you weren't happy with it, then it's your call. Glad my very humble input helped.
