Not sure this is in the right section.
Saw this online ages ago titled 'Selous Scout', thought it a tad odd as to me he looks more like an RLI troopie. Then on closer inspection the figure looks to be modeled almost exactly like a certain reenactor from Finland who sells repro kit...
Found one on eBay for about 1/3 RRP.

Been a long time since I had a go at a resin kit, brings back memories of Forge World challenges...

Looking forward to seeing this painted up! :D

Have fun!!

Nice detail that you can't get on the smaller scales. I agree - have fun.

Thanks chaps.
So far, lots of scraping, filling and sanding. Got the legs attached to the torso, upper arms on, pack and water-bottles in place and GS added.
He's had a blast of primer and I've been playing with colours on his webbing.
I'll take some pics over the weekend.

So much for WIP pics, got distracted painting a load of 28mm alongside; so here are the finished pics:

I'll say, cracking job! The base looks good. The camo is spot on and the equipment is properly weathered and painted! Did you add the curled wire for the radio too?

Thanks a lot. The curly wire to the handset is just a bit of brass wire wound around a drill bit, and I had to bodge the antenna, as I lost the resin bit. It is either somewhere on my desk or hiding on the floor, if/when I find it I'll swap it over as it did look better...

Superb work on that camo mate, really impressive.
