Is your middle name Patience?
Wow. Great work. Look forward to following the end result.

Thank you Sir! My sainted Mother used to say" You are not born with Patience, you must learn it".
So, every day is a learning experience for me, heheheheh,

More layers added. The e-tool was re-worked and added along with the missing webbing and canteen. Began settling the BAR down. I will add putty to help make it conform to the clothing better. Next up is putty to complete


the left leg and adding some minor items as far as dings and dents, etc.

I replaced th dragon grenades with Italerei ones that looked more in scale and also added the strap for the gas mask bag. Getting close.

Beautiful to see the pic brought to life in this way- the look and pose are captured so well and I think you have got the uniform tones spot on as well.
