That is some detailed paintwork and the uniform is so bloomin great to see. I've always struggled with figs but you have shown great talent in this figure
Love the facial painting. The depth and colours and reslism you have portrayed is fantastic

Kind regards

Robert

Minor update, and I do mean minor – The German ‘arm’ Patches have been painted, they are no bigger than 1.5mm x 1mm. I used 3 colours from Humbrol acrylics – Coal Black, Scarlett Red and insignia Yellow. Had a think about how to do it and decided to layer the colours so, overall coating of the yellow, then a block of red added onto the yellow and finally repeated with the black. Glued his head onto the body (second painted head). Need to add the boom mike, did try some fuse wire but it was hard to bend to shape, then remembered I had some alloy wire from little.cars so will use that tonight. Think I will also add the headphone cable from some coated wire, there is a cable moulded onto the body, but even if I touched it in wouldn’t show very well on the camo, plus it doesn’t connect to the helmet. I think I have now become obsessive over these two and need weening off !!

Looks like the red has bled a bit, so will need to tidy up, but at normal size cant see this

Boom mike added, very fiddly, but looks okay. Headphone cable added from very thin fuse wire to be painted, was making sure the glue had dried first.View attachment 281456 View attachment 281457
