Hi all I can't fnd the thread i started on this build I'm guessing it was lost in the move so here is the completed build. I must say that I'm impressed with the quality of the sculpting of the faces I was going to replace them with resin parts but I like how they have turned out.

 Thanks polux
 
 Bob I struggled for years with figures until I found a video on YouTube from international scale modelling on painting faces with Vallejo paints. It makes it so easy. And an Irish guy longlance 67 has a whole series on uniform painting, his methods seem to work well for me with a few tweaks to suit my ham fisted painting style

 I have this set somewhere ( not painted yet ) and when they eventually get painted they will be nothing in comparison to yours Colin, they really look very well done

 VERY nice indeed!!!
 
 It's still a mystery to me how you all can paint their faces and make them look alive like you do?
 Mine look either like they've got a skin decease, or that they just came out of a coal mine... sigh.
 
 One day - I hope - I shall get the hang of it. I hope.  Comment

 Hi Jens. Thanks for your positive comments, all I can say is practice makes perfect when it comes to faces this time last year my figure painting was poor at best they all looked like zombies.VERY nice indeed!!!

 Nice I think I maybe rush mine a bit I'm always too keen to get them finished and see the end result! I need to be more patient and I will see better resultsComment
