Sorry I haven't been around lately. I'd be surprised if half of you remember who I was :-) But earlier this year I was tasked to instruct on a Basic Infantry Qualification course and have been very busy. Here is a picture of me at the office

Unfourtunatly my model building time and armorama time has suffered. I've only managed to gett half way through a Uni. Carrier.

I got summer vacation coming soon so hopefully more bulding time....if the missus doesn't find more chores for me to do around the house!! :-)

Nice figure,what scale is it? Is the figure behind it part of the kit?
What kind of paints did you use?

Well it's a 1:35 scale single run Modern Canadian Soldier. It painted using Testor Flat Black, Dark Green, Medium Green and Leather. The figure in the background comes seperately and is called Snivelling BIQ Canidate, a very easy kit to come across and goes for dirt cheap. You have to be careful when painting this kit and make sure that the pants and shirt are faded differently. All in all it wasn't a bad kit to build. :-) (++)
