He looks pretty good so far. A couple corrections though. There should only be a flag on the right sleeve, and it should be backwards so it looks as though it is advancing as he walks (star field to the front). Additionally, the flag and patches should be subdued. Full color patches are only worn on dress uniforms and color flags are not worn in combat zones. You can see the subdued flag and patches below.

Hi Huy,

great show!!

don't worry too much about the flag! Gino is right because he quoted the general rule....and BTW that last pic is from an exercise, at least partly in built-up area, so!?!

The whole flag idea is a tad contradictory anyway! It should be seen (otherwise it makes no sense at all)...and it should not be seen (camouflage)....possibly at the same time!?!?

Cheers

Romain

That picture with the color patch shows the troops wearing MILES? training gear (laser tag for soldiers). That would mean its probably not a combat zone... but back at a training facility state side. I have no doubt color patches are worn at home. Unless your snipers are also not in a combat zone, but at home training too, subdue the patches. Need combat pics for reference not training.

The others are correct, in the full color flag pic, the Soldiers are wearing MILES gear. MILES is not used in combat zones, but for training only.

Great job so far. My only observation is that you left a mold line across the side of the face of the first figure. Donīt mean to be fussy, just an observation. Nevertheless, they are coming out great!
