Well after spending a fair amount of effort over the last two weeks on this Aurora US Army Infantryman it is finally complete. I did a fair amount of research on colors for the uniform and think I got it down fairly well. Obviously there were some different colors in the field but I think this is fairly accurate. This time however I don't have a before shot but it was a mess when I got it, about half painted, seams on every joint, like it was built by a 10 year old.

Thanks guys for the positive comments. Yes Denis, he apparently has a stash of old Aurora kits that he picked up already built and I guess I am going to be working my way through them. I only knew about the '60s monsters and scifi kits, although I did know that Aurora made other kits, but was totally unaware of the three I have done so far.

Very nice, Bob!!:thumbsup: Your client should be very happy!!

Glad to see that the commission work is going well for you.

Did you have a good time traveling after Wonderfest?

Great work, and the first time I've seen this kit outside of black and white photos in a book, thanks for showing.

That is a cool kit now that I see one done up right. Awesome job on an old relic. I am a Monster/Sci-fi guy,but I would buy one of those if it were ever reissued.:thumbsup:

Bob, you're quite the master of the resto job! All three have been slick and professional! Take yer bows, fella!

Excellent job on the restoration, Bob. So much for your retirement, it looks like you've got a second career as a "Model Restorer."
