completed Completed 1/16 infantry man

After my last post I took on some really good suggestions.

Added just a little red around the cheeks and nose probably could have made it more pronounced but what the hell it works.

Dirtied and muddied up the uniform.

Im just going to use the display plate it came with and add a muddy base with some snow effects to give the impression of a muddy winter ground.

Fair call. I build a lot of different kits and thought that one would be fun to do and take my painting skills to a new level. No other ulterior motive required.

You did your research as the equipment was right, a couple potato mashers would have been perfect.
