Paul, thanks my neighbour.
Marco, I'm doing the best I can brotha. Tomorrow it's the helmet to be done, a correction here and there, and two fragile bales to be added in the helmet. The head is dry and this will get more oil slappings as well. The face will be finished with the black camo (they used burnt cork from wine bottles).

Thank you chaps ! Highlights and deepest shadows were carefully brushed on to tune up the contrast and the D-bales placed into the drilled out chinstraps and finished with a bare metal paint. I call the helmet done.   Lovely weather, the bbq is lit, tomorrow more head paintwork. |

That is astonishing work Guy  How the heck did you do the stenciling on the field dressing? Have a good BBQ sire, hopefully with a couple of cold blondes  |

Thank you and cheers my dear neighbour. The stenciling on the field aid dressing was brushed on and I gave it a somewhat faded look. Of course it's not readable, only a suggestive stenciling. |

The stenciling is the icing on the cake Guy, without that it wouldn't be half as good  |

Thank you Bootsbro. Tomorrow I'll try to finish or practically finish the grenade. I have no choice but to focus on one thing at the time as my concentration gets drained by fidly didly paint jobs. Only for reference purposes!  |
