Next up is paying the lower cheeks. i started with 'fern green' which for me was Pactra "flat Jungle Green" which is made by Plasti-kote and it was the only close colour I had at hand.
Before I went any further I need to add a new Bordon connector, as the original one on the helmet had be cut off long ago, as I didn't like the look of it.\I had to make a new connector from scratch so i took some 10mm aluminium rod and cut 10mm off and drilled the holes in to get the desired effect I needed. once I drilled out a new 10mm hole in the cheek, I simply pushed the new connector in/ spun it around to it was facing the correct way and epoxied the back to hold it in place ( i didn't cover up the holes I wanted open)

[ATTACH]66461[/ATTACH] Since I had painted the whole cheek section in one hit I do not need to worry about doing a layer of Model Masters Schwartzgrun RLM 70
so once I have masked off, the fern green ( jungle green for me) is applied.
