6thscale 101 - part 3

Now to dirty up boots by brushing dry and wet pastel.
Before weaving pouch to vest,rub some pastel on vest with your finger.
Try to mix variation of dark and light shades.You can get this done up in less than 5 minutes.
Refer to photo to map out where you want the pouches to be.
Take your time and be patient when comes to weaving pouches.In between take a break or two as at times it can be frustrating but the end result is really worth it.
When putting on the vest,try to pull down the front portion as low as possible.
It will look more natural and also to reflect weight from front pouches pulling it down.
Once everything in order,rub some pastel all over the pouches for quick weathering.
When putting on helmet it's a lot more easier if you just dislodge HS from body.
First you need to determine helmet size.
If helmet is too big,put on the padding that comes with it.If you decide to use a different HS that is slightly larger,you can afford not to use the padding.
Usually I loosen straps on helmet a bit so it's easier to manage the comm set and chin strap. 
So far so good.Now it's time to put on all the small accessories.
All in not counting the wet BDU portion,it takes around 4 to 5 hours to complete this figure.
