Oh, i was just working of the contents list with the kit, so which one is the 58 water bottle pouch / 44 water bottle pouch

Steve the pouch you thought was the kidney pouch is a 58 water bottle pouch. The ammo pouch with the pocket is the left hand one.

Hi Steve
Rucsack and pouches look great. Face camo is something we see very rarely but as Steve J says it makes for a more realistic model.

bit the bullet, so to speak, and got the DPM painted up over the last two nights. Needs a few dirty washes and highlights, buttons painting in and seams outlined, getting there now.

Thanks, would like to agree, but its really very straight forward to do. Just some good brushes - W&N series 7 (I think) sable, as they love creating 'swooshes'

Plinth arrived the other day from Model Display Products . Marked out the centre point and using a micro drill started to drill the centre, and then snap , it make it worst it snapped off in line with the top of the resin, so have had to drill a new hole slightly off centre.



I intend to spray it gloss black and then add a SBS pin badge to the front. Hoping to get the hands / weapon and pouches on this week / weekend.

An impressive base Steve - looks great.

 

[Steve Brodie]

Got his weapon painted last night, and attached along with his hands and his head. need to get the base painted now, so i can start hanging things of him


He isnt shiny in real life, damm dark mornings and kitchen lights !

 

[Steve Jones]

Nearly there now Steve. Will there be a caption on the plinth?
