Trying to get back into painting after a hiatus of years and I don't know if this is an incentive or I should just throw my brushes away!  Brilliant.

Thanks for the complement.

I'd say get stuck in; I only got back into 28mm over the last year (was trying eyewatering 20mm before). I think I've improved just since I started on this project, particularly skin tones, faces and eyes. This is probably the longest I have managed to maintain my entusiasm for painting ever...

Thanks Carlos, Ultravanillasmurf, Paul & David, much appreciated.
Was good fun having a go at another type of camo.

Also finished off another couple of 'grunt' marines.

Thanks all.

Forgot to throw mud at the last two, so will try to dirty them up over the weekend, might have a go at redoing some of the earlier faces as I'm happier with the later results.

Got the first couple of packs of Empress ANZACs to have a go at. Used the Osprey 'Vietnam ANZACs' book by Kevin Lyles for the picture references.

ANZ1




ANZ2
