Great job. That looks very battle-worn

Great Escape Games have both sets in stock. Fast service too. Recommended.
PSCs stock situation is poor, considering they are the authorised UK distributor. Virtually all the Rubicon decal sheets and a fair few of the model kits themselves have been out of stock for many weeks...

Great work with the Green Stuff
Green Stuff 'soft stowage' - tarps etc - looks a great deal better than plastic kit items which always look too stiff and never seems to sit quite right.
I've just invested in the two Rubicon Models stowage sets (Allied and German) and they're packed with many and various useful parts. But some of the rolled up items just look a bit too 'sharp' somehow, to convincingly represent rolled up heavy fabrics. (Other than that - brilliant kits though).

Thank you 
Yeah, quite a while - I suppose it would work out to something like an hour per figure? Usually though, I paint batches of 5 - 10 figures at a time, and will paint those figures in many snatched sittings over the course of several days or a week or two.
I guess it's probably much like AFV modelling - you realise that patience and taking your time yields better results
My themed galleries on the Lead Adventure Forum showcase a lot of my work and collections - including my small WW2 gallery (which I aim to grow with some Rubicon Models and other vehicles).

I really like your figures - how long does it take you to achieve such superb highlights?

Hi.
Just built and painted my first Rubicon kit. In fact, the first plastic AFV kit I've made in more than 30 years, since my adolescent fascination with Tamiya...
I went a bit too heavy on the initial wash, but on the whole, it's worked out okay. I'll know better next time
The tank commander is bodged from Perry plastics with a Green Stuff beret.
I fear I may now have acquired a taste for this AFV modelling malarkey... Oh dear...
lol
This is for use with my Perry collection, like these:
