Very nice rendition indeed, great DPM painting. One small detail if I may, the 44 pattern waterbottle top would normally be in a dull aluminium colour 👍

Thanks very much, I thought that to, about the water bottle top, but could only find photos of it been a green colour on the web ?

The early ones were aluminium and the later versions were black plastic I think.

They were more desirable than the plastic 58 waterbottle and mug as you could cook with the 44 pattern.

Fantastic work! I'm with @Dads203 on the DPM, you have nailed it, I especially like how you have mastered it in the creases and folds. As for the water bottle, it's looks to me like he's just put a bit of green sniper tape around the lid 😉.

That is stunning.

No cam cream?

Very smart work on that DPM, spot on.

Thankyou, quote easy to do if you work methodically from sand, to green, brown then the black

I can see the cam cream now (laptop) didn't see it earlier on phone.
