Hi All
I've been incredibly busy with work recently which has put my plans for this build back quite a bit. It now looks unlikely that I'll be able to finish this in time for Euromilitaire, which is a shame but nothing I can really help. I'll still give it a shot but I don't want to rush it and risk spoiling it just to be an entrant.
Anyhoo, here's my latest progress. Got some paint on my dead Russians with just a touch of spilt 'claret' to add that touch of gore!

Bobby I don't even have a cat but should a cat come to visit it has some litter to use!
Cheers everyone
Paul

Paul , this is just gobsmackingly good !!! Your work converting the figures is outstanding , they look excellent painted up. I only wish i could do figures half as well . Keep it up mate , cheers tonyComment

Thanks Tony for the kind words it's really appreciated! I'm glad you're liking the figures, I am quite pleased with my first conversions although I do think the painting would have been better in oils.
Again thanks for the support it means a lot.
All the best

Paul your work on these figures is amazing and the shadowing in the creases is brillant. Keep up the good work and I can only agree with Tony on your conversion of these figures.
Can't wait to it when you've finished.Comment

Cheers guys your support and comments mean a lot.
Unfortunately I won't be spending as much time as i would like on posting and modelling for the next few months because of work commitments. I will try to keep up with the GB but apologise in advance if I can't post.
Martin: Euromilitaire looks an impossible deadline as I'm working most weekends now too, I will try to get down there though if you still fancy that beer!
Cheers everyone

hi paul. these figures turned out fantastic. its been a lesson watching u build them up bit by bit to the final paint stage. looking forward to seeing the next pics when u get the free time to upload them.Comment

I haven't posted in a while so I thought I'd show the limited progress I've made since then.
I haven't done any more work on the tank or dio but, with what little time I have had between work and other commitments, I've managed to get this far with the remaining German figures.
2 are primed and ready for painting, the other 3 require straps and equipment although all the putty work is complete. It may be a struggle for me to finish this GB on time, in which case, can I still post it here or do I move it to the diorama section?
Cheers
Paul

all of these figure are looking great quality. your real handy with that clay, putty. what did you say the putty you use is called again?Comment

Hi Bobby
The putty is Milliput super fine, a 2 part epoxy. It takes a bit of getting used to the material, you'll probably find that most of it simply sticks to your fingers at first but practice does make it easier. I think it's a little easier each time I do this, as I kind of know what to expect and the tools to use now. I'm not saying I'm a great figure sculpter by any means but I've got the results I was looking for. I think if I had more time I'd really go to town on the figures, super detail them and paint with oils to get the blending right. I really admire the work of Calvin Tan - his 1/35 figures are unbelievable. Still it's something to aim for I guess.
Cheers

I hate clever, talented, artistic people like you - pure genius Paul, its going to look spectacular, love that tunics. Cheers DerekComment

Hi Derek, thank you for the comments. There's some amazing stuff going on in this GB I just hope my effort stands up the excellent work already finished.
I'm hoping to finish these 5 figures next week and then I can spend October blowing up a T-34! I've enjoyed doing the figures but it will be nice to work on the hardware for a bit of a change.
After that I'm going to look at finishing quite a few aircraft I've started (including the Eurofighter - so I'll be in touch) and the luftwaffe forest dio.
Cheers
