Go for it big T! I have done a couple of the Ral Partha 22mm pewter fantasy figures but not one that size!
 
Re: 1ST INFANTRY DIVISION SOLDIER 1966

Yeah this one is 90mm.

Nice- it looks old, you find that in a bargain bin? Rock on- be sure to mention the base primer(s)... :popcorn
 
Re: 1ST INFANTRY DIVISION SOLDIER 1966

I give 20 bucks for it. I will use regular old gray primer to start.

My favorite- i think nearly everything i have was first painted light sea grey or gull grey.

Time to get this trooper into action. I laid out all the parts for cleaning. I attached the right arm and painted it and the head Tamiya Red Brown mixed with future.
This is a new method I wanted to try. I normally under coat with Marine Sand and then rub on raw umber oil paint. The plan is to highlight the brown with lighter shades
oil paint. Here's is how far I got this morning. Let me know what you think.

That looks nice- with the choice of heads though I would have gone with the beret. You were a Marine right T?
 
Naw KD steel pot all the way. Did a little more paint. Not much more to do to the face. The face is a little bug eyed, but I did the best I could. Here's a few more pic's let me know what you think.
