Due to the fractured inner armor I'm not able to cut, carve or sand plastic parts, painting however seems to be possible. This bust was a present given to me as a token of friendship. Mark was a sunny guy, always ready for a laugh or a serious conversation. He was a very motivated modeler. I miss him a lot since he died from the big c a couple of years ago. I prefer to give the bust two coats of enamel paint to start with.   |

Thank you guys. I'll do my very best believe me. The helmet was given basecoat colors with enamels a while ago.  The jacket was brushpainted with enamels as well, everything will be finished with oils, this is just a very basic layer but important too to get a good finish with the oils.  |

The detail it has is awesome Jed. I brushed the shoulder patch and the metal parts of suspenders and musette bag. The parachute scarf was given its base color, next is the camo spots.   |
