I've managed to finish my latest additions for my NAM collection, MACV SOG. I'm still toying with the best way to paint camou faces so I've left them clean faced for the time been.

They painted up beautifully, and hopefully I've captured the look of these guys, they certainly went above and beyond and like so many paid the ultimate price.

Feel free to check out my blog, thanks for looking cheers for now Russ

They look great. Super job.

Totally.

You are good at hands, great at Tiger Stripes, but anyone who can do eyes in 28mm gets my vote every time. I do not even try.

I do agree that these are great "characters" and individuals. Paul Hicks is like SPR's Jackson and his enemy sniper in the church tower. "This guy has talent"

You did a nice job painting them.

I am impressed. Eyes. Damn. You are good. Every single miniature has a personality. Great work.

I'm still toying with the best way to paint camou faces
Just a thin stripe of dark green on nose, cheeks and chin. Maybe some light green (called Loam) in between. But much of it rubs or sweats off anyway …

Thanks guys, I always read the comments even if I fail to reply but they are warmly recieved.

Thanks guys for taking the time to comment
KSmyth, Disco Joe, and my good friend TIG thank you.

deadhead you are no slouch yourself in the hobby department, so praise is taken in high regard.

Legion4 I will give it a try, I need to experiment a tad first before I commit!

Oh yes try it out … it may just not look right at that scale, etc.
