Sweet camo work! That's not easy at all.

Hey, I just wanted to say how impressed I am with your work, and yet again I really hope you'll put this guy on ebay. I was really disappointed with Hasbro's Falcon figure, but this fixes the problem in my book.
One thing I wanted to mention about your initial post: you asked whether or not you should change the color of Falcon's sleeves to a lighter color because they're rolled up? The answer is no. I know you Marines roll up your sleeves so that the inside of the sleeve faces out, showing a lighter color. However, Falcon is an Army Officer, and in the Army we don't roll our sleeves up that way. In fact, we don't roll our sleeves up at all anymore with the new ACU's, but back in the old days of the BDU's, we didn't roll up our sleeves like the Marines did. We rolled them so that the exterior of the fabric still showed at the cuff, and the lighter colored interior of the fabric was not seen at all. That was the regulation on how to wear the BDU blouse with "sleeves up". Just thought you'd want to be as accurate as possible. You Marines at Lejuine always impressed me a lot when I was at Bragg. By the way, I'm really wondering if you're going to put this figure up on ebay? Would you be willing to sell it? Thanks. If you want to PM me with details that would be awesome.

As for the belt and the Holder...
The Brown looks very nice, but if you're going to be accurate, I'm sure you're well aware that web gear/web belts and holsters are green. I think Falcon's equipment might look more realistic/authentic if you went with OD green. Just a suggestion. I think it looks nice the way you've done it. Just trying to help. Again, I'm tremendously impressed with this figure. Falcon was always one of my very favorites. Outstanding work on this and your other customs. Nobody paints camo as well as you do.

Just one more thing, and I'm really not trying to be picky.
Honestly, I'm a big fan of your work and I mean no offense. I know the Marine Corps is very proud of their golden jump wings, but the Army's Airborne badge is silver - but on our BDU's/ACU's we wear black/subdued jump wings. Back when BDU's - like your custom Falcon is wearing - were worn in the Army, black jump wings is what all us Airborne qualified soldiers wore, including the Special Forces guys like Falcon. Just trying to help you out.
