As i am currently attempting to paint a similar subject in the same scale, all i can say is that I am 100% convinced that these 'Rambo men' are 54mm....

And its very wrong of you to mislead this esteemed organ.

And yes, the radio guy does look like someone, or should that be something, spilt his pint....

Just noticed the "5 o'clock shadows"  :o 8)  :-*

Col. Bagshot's got it right - I used to do 54mm Historex kits and could never get stubble to look that natural.

Lovely PJs and it takes a lot of confidence to paint camo over a great flesh tone like that, excellent stuff

Well if I can take a turd and polish it into a diamond I must be doing something right :)

In my mind it was though I was putting real camo cream on him.....yes I know I am not normal I have been told.

Absolutely amazing! Best skin painting I've ever seen!

I have to say, though, that Commissar is just as likely to get "offed" by the Catachans as he is by the enemy...

Great looking minis. The paint job on the flesh, it is awesome. I am looking forward to more.
Keep the photos coming.

Now just as a side note:

... or buy the big boys book of Tiger patterns

Johnson, Richard Denis (1999). Tiger Patterns: A Guide to the Vietnam War's Tigerstripe Combat Fatigue Patterns and Uniforms. Schiffer Pub Ltd. ISBN 9780764307560.
There is a whole book on this topic?? WOW!

I just looked it up and it is not cheap either.

Thanks pal, I just love painting skin even more so on lady models ;)

done with a mixture of wet blending and layering with the following colours for this skin, VGC dark fleshtone, VGC Tan Flesh and VGC Cadm Flesh

Great looking minis. The paint job on the flesh, it is awesome. I am looking forward to more.
Keep the photos coming.
