He is going to be painted... I get to start in about an hour. The father wished to have this marine in forest camo.

Look for a picture by morning with any luck!

Well here he is all painted and ready for inspection. By the way, Painting camo is NOT EASY! I thought it would go by rapidly but it was the hardest thing I have painted to date.

Bedtime for me, I am beat.

Great job! I carved one of those little soldiers a few years back when a buddy of mine was in Iraq. He stuck it to the dash of his hummer.

And you're right, camo is a bit of work!
