Despite the lighting problem, those have come out really well: nicer than any of the commercially available US in Vietnam figures.
Back from the dead, almost.

Thanks chaps..... :)

No worries.... I need them for reference anyways  ;)

BTW, on the PLog pages I've now added an image of the mini alongside the mini of the actor. They're mostly too small or at the wrong angle (they're for in game id of the minis, more than anything else) but some of the likenesses are apparent.

As it happens, I've ended up adding an extra layer of highlights to both the clothing and webbing. Seems to work better though was a pain trying to keep the static grass out of another layer of varnish.
