Very interesting figure from Bravo-6, Navy SEAL from Vietnam. It will be a small vignette with water and some vegetation.
There's review from Engin Kayral here:

It's time to start this fella, I opted for the Tiger stripes camo, it's very interesting and challenging in the same time



Regards,

I look forward to the build. I appreciate you're looking to paint him in tiger stripes.

However he is wearing the style of clothing that would have been OG107 or ERDL camo. The cut of tiger stripes is different.

So it would be inaccurate to paint him in Tiger camo? Too bad, I really wanted to try that camouflage

Another variant I was thinking about, is combining Tiger stripe pants and ERDL shirt.

OK, after checking some references I will paint this ERDL, for the Tiger camo I will buy the "Stoner" figure

I'll be following you on this one.
Its' a figure Ive considered getting.

Chris

Chris, grab one, it's very nice!

Starting with the face as usual, this time I added Flat earth to the base color, for slightly swarthy skin.

Looking good already. Can't wait to follow the progress on this one.

Camo is almost ready, I painted without arms attached, because it will be very hard to reach some places with the brush.







Cheers!

I painted and attached the swim fins, I will apply also highlights on the equipment.





Cheers!

Looking good. Might just be me but the black patches on the camp don't seem prominent enough. I can't tell if they need to be bigger or just have more of them (or it might just be the lighting.) Still beautifully painted regardless.

Venelin, first off all , very good painting
Here you have the original picture that was used to creatate the duckfeet figure

mabye it is of any help, for your painting



keep up the good work
Chris

Thanks!

Yes, I know the picture, the camo looks very faded and dirty

I can enhance the dark patches and paint more of them, will check the references, maybe I painted them too thin. I've used Vallejo 70822 German camo black brown, because pure black will be too contrasting.

Equipment is ready:

He looks crazy good!!!

I'm preparing a small base with vegetation, but I wonder if bulrush is common for Vietnam?
Thanks in advance!

Typha orientalis, commonly known as bulrush, bullrush, cumbungi in Australia, or raupō in New Zealand, is a perennial herbaceous plant in the genus Typha. It can be found in Australia (all 6 states plus Northern Territory and Norfolk Island), New Zealand including the Chatham Islands and the Kermadec Islands), Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Mongolia, Myanmar, Philippines, China and the Russian Far East (Sakhalin and Primorye).
Typha orientalis is a wetland plant that grows on the edges of ponds, lakes and slow flowing rivers and streams.

Thank you, Engin!
Just what I thought, but wanted to be sure

Cheers!

Sorry for the long delay, I'm continuing with this one

Starting the base-a small section of riverbank (maybe Mekong river).
The oval stand is from Greenstuffworld (17x11cm), I made the terrain from insulation foam, covered with DAS clay. I will smooth the sides and apply the soil next.



Cheers!

After much sanding after several thin coats of acrylic putty, I glued the terrain to the base and painted it with black spray matt.
Next I will add the soil and the dam for the water.

Your guy is looking great! Keep up the great work!

Thanks Mike!

I made the dam for the resin and applied AK terrain neutral paste colored with Vietnam earth pigment. The paste cracked where it was a bit thicker, but I made corrections with а brush.
I decided to fix the dam first and the apply the paste, so there will be no leakage of the resin. The terrain can be fixed, but even smallest leak of the resin will ruin the base





Cheers!

great stuff. I'll be following closely how you make the water part, as I always dreamt of doing it without daring to.

Excellent work
K

Thank you!

When making water effects careful preparation is essential

Cheers!
