It turned out a bit more yellow and dark than I wanted, but still looks good enough. I’m gonna try a mix of Titanium White and Burnt Umber on another project sometime to see how that turns out. Hopefully a bit more grayish earth in tone.

Good info, good stuff and looking good!

That's coming along really nicely Carlos, very nice work. It's so interesting to see something US Army from this era that isn't to do with Vietnam.

Thank you Stuart. Yes, there was a whole army in Europe (and more troops in Korea) during Vietnam that was pretty much forgotten about or ignored until the late 70’s. The models to build for that era are available, with some exceptions, but good figures to go with them are lacking.

Ok, I’m calling this one done. My last build of 2020.

I’ll have a thread up shortly in the completed area...
