This is the miniature I will use as the 2nd fireteam leader in my games.

After watching Full Metal Jacket on TV last night (for the umpteenth time) this really appeals. I did notice the yellow stripes on the grenades and thought of your work.

Nice touch to have a sidearm. Many grunts acquired one as a last ditch defence.

Thats nice of you thinking of me while watching Full Metal Jacket :)

Can't say I care much for the figure itself but you have done a nice job with it. You're on a roll!

From what I recall ordnance color markings were yellow to show it is HE. I'm sure you've see aerial bombs with a yellow nose. Frag grenades normally has a small yellow circle painted at the top just below he fuse. WP grenades had a wide (about 1 inch) yellow band near the middle.

The figures you've done with the yellow band look like frags, not WP.

I hope I'm not being snarky.

Snarky? No, that is something totally new to me.

I love details like that
