There are a few obvious areas for improvement.

  • The camouflage pattern needs to be bigger.  I was trying to avoid it being a chunky pattern but it needs more practise.
  • The flesh could perhaps do with another lighter highlight.  The same goes for the main uniforms and the regular helmets.
  • The black paint is past its best and wasn’t flowing quite right.  I may try a very dark grey next time.
  • The EVA used to glue the scatter was not as sticky as hoped and left a few patches, despite a thorough covering.

Any constructive feedback for further improvements or alternative techniques are welcome!
