Peter. It’s OK I got your back pay no attention to the Rabbles
G
Ralph - Cheers.
John - Richard's a star. Far too generous by half.
Lee - I don't mind the rabble putting their oar in. I nearly always have shenanigans with the heads, so people know to expect it of me. On to the camo tomorrow.

""Smockingly""" good start to the body LOL
Can't avoid a little camo even if its only under the smock.
Your alternative cap was well done, so the little bit of camo will be a definite counterpoint to the solid blocks of green.
Another grey day but getting warmer ready for the heatwave
Have a good day with the camo, I seem to be slipping into mindless NetFlix binge watching at the moment, 1/2 way through season 2 of The Crown and I don't know why!!
Have a good day with the paints

Fernando - Thanks for looking in.
Steve - Bad pun day! Glad to have some warmer weather, though it gets too bright for painting after 1pm.
First pass at the camo:

Getting there, and I suppose DPM is not subtle.

Many thanks chaps. I've since done a bit more too it, especially at the back.
Morning Peter
You do seem to look down the wrong end of the telescope when assessing your camo painting abilities.
A superb job, and I am more than sure it is even more impressive in the flesh than on screen.
Your recent parcel has more than proven that point.
guess its equipment day, today?
Good to finish before the 48 hour heatwave strikes and assaults your paints.
I need to shake off this lockdown lethargy and get going again!!!!
Time to do some walking up and down the top 3 stairs with the Resident Patient
Have a good day with the paints

The trouble with camo is that it can be adjusted forever, so getting to a point when you feel yyou can leave it alone is difficult. I don't think I'll get it finished today, as there is quite a lot of equipment to do that needs delicate painting.
So far, I've got the bandolier and gun done:

The addition of more detail has pushed the camo back a bit. These were both white metal parts, which I never like, but they proved quite nice to paint. I'm not sure what the grass(?) taped to the gun is for; camouflage, insulation?

Very kind of you Neil. Thank you.
That's it for today:

I also painted and attached the water bottle and ammo pack, the kukri, and the magazine for the gun. I've still got quite a bit of equipment to do, but one more session should see it done.

Cheers Mark. I must admit that it never occurred to me that the jacket and trousers wouldn't match.
PS - I don't do shows.

Mark - A bit like the German experience with field grey. They found during WW1 that the trousers faded more quickly that the jackets, so switched to stone grey trousers to eliminate the mismatch. It wasn't until the middle of WW2 that field grey trousers were re-introduced.
I intend to do a bit of weathering with pastels, so that should create some variation.
Jason - Glad you approve. Thanks for looking in.

I found a small reserve of mojo, so decided to place him on a base and do some weathering:

I weathered the trousers by initially dry-brushing mixes of Vallejo English Uniform and Off White onto the knees etc, then went over all of the camo with pink/beige pastel to kill it off a bit.
Just the back-pack, two ammo packs and smoke-grenade to do now.
