Airborne Rifleman

As always, comments and criticisms welcome This is the first time I've used oils and it did work out fine for me.

Nice work! ^_^

You could also wash the canteen and the other gear, to add more details...

And you may want to keep the helmet chin strap pointed downwards, unless you plan to put it in some kind of snow storm or windy dio...

I also happen to notice a seam in the butt area....Is it intentional?

Keep up!

Uy... sharp eyes! I've accidentally carved too much plastic so that's why there's a gap inbetween the overcoat :-) And yes, I prefer the helmet straps that way. Kinda make you feel it was shot when it was windy.

"worked fine"?

Are you kidding? It worked GREAT! Awesome job, Shonen! Subtle weathering, fancy work on the straps and sling. Good work, indeed. I like the way the chin straps seem to sway. I gotta admit I never thought of this idea before. Makes the figure look "in action."
