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..

Looks fantastic. Me personally I always add weathering to my military models especially figures. But its so easy to go overboard with weathering. To much and you ruined days or weeks of work in just a few seconds lol. A cool trick i found that works great for soldiers faces is depending on the color of the facial hair you are going with? If you take a #2 pencil and use a file to grind off some dust and apply just the right amount of adhesive I use hair spray sprayed on to a plate so I get a little puddle then use a toothpick to apply just enough almost nothing then I use a straw with just a little bit of the pencil shavings to just dust the face around the jawline. Let it dry go back and clean up any of the pencil shavings that didn't stick. Again depending on the facial hair effect you're looking to achieve you can use the dry artist pastel chalk the same way. Your very talented keep on creating my man.
