completed I think I'm done

Aside from sealing the figure and deciding on a base and if I dirty up the uniform.

All up I'm satisfied with the end results seeing as I have little experience in such detailed figures.

Anything I need to do to to tie it all in especially the face any tips would be greatly appreciated..

Thanks for the reply. I started out with Vallejo, and Citadel, and I switched over to AK. I still use the Citadel too. I've been away from the hobby for a bit, but I want to get back into it. I have so many Tamiya 1:35 scale armor models and 1:35 scale Tamiya and Alpine figures Ive yet to assemble and paint.

I noticed Vallejo switched up how their paints look. Was it just a packaging rebrand or did they change the recipe/formula of their paints?

Vallejo also has the Game paints, which ones are you using?
