I'm just calling this figure a desert Joe trooper for lack of a better name. Practiced some drybrushing with this guy. I'm not sure about the blue I chose for the helmets. Might be a little bright and distracting.

I think if you did a metallic blue on the visors of the helmets it would help. Or even just a gloss coat over the existing blue. Aside from that I like it a lot. |

I like the design, the color scheme, and the way he is geared up. One thing you'll want to learn, as a compliment to mastering dry-brushing of the highlights, is washing or inking the "lowlights" as it were. It adds depth, and it helps keep a figure from looking half weathered/half plastic. |

I've just recently discovered the technique of using washes, and now I won't do anything but. The figure looks great as is though, and I think that you are really improving in your drybrushing. I am impressed with this figure. - R |

I like that color scheme and parts combo. Actually reminds me more than a little of Ice Cream Soldier. I'm usually not big into drybrushing, I like my figures to look "factory" but it works well on desert figures, and I can't argue with the quality of it. |

Being relatively new to this stuff, you're definitely picking up steam fast. I'm not sure if there's been anything you've done so far that hasn't looked good. |

I love the techno look of these new figures and that color pallet has the right contrast to bring out the details on the armor. I feel like this could ever be an updated BF2K dodger or Sigma Six Desert Wolf Kudos Steve |
