Bunch of small updates:
Redid the lettering
Mounted a light using two part resin clay, rather than reverse engineering the mount that came with it to point the right way
Got my M90 in
Started printing the ODST Rucksack
Applied 405th ODST logos

Also lost a bunch of weight

Looking good! The lettering is looking nice. What light did you use?

Some additional yellow. And some secondary green on the frag grenade crevices is still needed.

Rucksack coming along, various pouches painted waited for weathering, matching grays for the BDU's, M90 is now half primed (stupid humidity) but needs some filler putty at the seams.

Camo templates work well. Used just a .59 sponge brush.

More current statuses of things
Trying to crank out the painting and mounting of the rucksack.
Minor details and weathering here and there still to do.

Was going to camo tape the shotgun, but it's the wrong type. Hoping the vinyl I ordered does the trick.used the tape on the bracers instead.
Managed to reuse the rifle sling from last year's SMG and found an airsoft cartridge holder I glued to the stock.

It doesn't look like an 8-gauge shell would fit in the holder... Just messing. Looks great so far!

Amazingly, the shell holders are Velcro and thus swappable. I did not know until I had it installed
