I haven’t got the skill but will try to, need tiny brush. And thank you

The new guys fit in nicely . I love that radio but not managed to pick one up . All those details make a big difference . Hoping for some outdoor pics soon .

Nice new addition. This squad is looking pretty cool. Too bad about that guy’s eye. Perhaps he could have been wounded (?) and his eyes is swollen shut.

Thanks! That’s a great suggestion! Haha.

Just a very small detail update…..added a chow sock. I didn’t have any actual c-rats so used an AAA battery lol….gives it a good weight

NIIICE! That’s how to think outside the box. Neat addition, and one that is rarely seen.

Thanks! Yeah, it’s something I have been wanting to add for ages but only just found one spare sock..I need to order some more in. Something you do see on rucksacks in period photos but not often seen in 1/6

Great attention (and talent) for detail, lurpdog.

Thank you always aiming to do as best I can

That's actually a good idea, keep an eye on the battery though.

Man, clever trick with the battery. I might have to steal that. Wrapping it in electrical tape may help prevent some rusting or breakdown issues..
I don't think I've noticed a 1/6 scale opening compass before, that's awesome!

Hey if you don't mind mailing to Canada I could repaint that head for you!

Ah thanks mate. I was going to try to paint eyes myself, as need to learn but thank you

New head sculpt arrived too and looks perfect

Yes it does.

That looks really good. I like the addition of the cloth head covering — very fitting for hot jungle climates.

Thanks guys. Yeah, saw few pics where the drive on rag was worn like that. Worked well with this sculpt

Aw man that new head looks great!

Hey there just found these by sheer accident
Impressive work overall
Thought I'd post and/or PM you and see if you would be interested in doing one of a real life chicken man b4 he went GB and spent far more time in hell than most ever would and all volunteer with zero draft risk ever since he was a canuck.
