| Having seen this article on the excellent Joe Report site..... http://patchesofpride.wordpress.com/2013/04/20/custom-69-eagle-eye-adventurer-creates-stir/....I decided to have a stab at painting up one myself. The head was badly marked with pen so I had nothing to loose. What you see in the picture is only half finished, it needs some touch up on the hair line and some brows. Cappy you may want to leave the room at this point!!  The hair colour is squig orange by Citadel (games workshop) which is a pretty good approximation of the original colour. Also a big thanks to the guys in the Liverpool branch of Games Workshop...great tips and service!!  Which brings me to a dilema...what uniform do I bash him in?? Over to you guys I guess! | |

| Green Beret for sure, Red P.H's always look great in that and you almost never see an E.E in that outfit either, you'll kill two birds with one stone! |

 There's a reason for that... it's just plain wrong!!  I saw the original head a few weeks ago and don't think that, or your version, looks too bad. I'd definitely dress him in an EE era uni though. | |

| Great paint job BB, Green Beret would look good, but predictable, how about a 7th cavalry outfit, be like an irish figure from that era!! | |

| Your head looks WAY better than the one in the Joe Report. You obviously took the time to do some good prep on the head. It makes the paint job look a thousand times better. Outstanding job. You should really consider doing an AT Secret Agent bash. The sidelong glance that only the EE's can do screams "Secret Agent" to me. Trawl eBay Canada for pieces like THIS.
