Nicely done Pierre.The first helmet looked a bit like the ones the Germsn Volksturm wore with the wings on front,Always reminded me of Flash Gordon for some reason.
Carry on that man.

Ralph - He does indeed!
Richard - Thanks, but I've just stripped down the head and put the whole thing away for another day. My heart's just not in this last figure - lack of camo mojo at the moment, and with my current heath issues I want something simpler to do.
This thread is therefore now finished;

To close the thread, here are the finished figures, both of which have been slightly reworked to iron out the niggles. I've also included a picture of the first version of the tank commander for comparison:

Sorry to hear about the lack of mojo Peter, but sometimes that's the right thing to do indeed.
The figures look amazing, exellent work! :thumb2:

Hi Steven
It's really lack of mojo to tackle the camo. I never like doing it, finding it more of a chore than a pleasure. The process is just very tedious. The next figure depends on whether we get any post today - I'm going to switch to resin for a while.

Great figures, shame about the camo, the Wehrmacht zeltbahn isn't a complex and interesting scheme to paint and in 1:16 I am sure it can be really stressful to get it to look ""right""
Enjoyment is the reason we all do this, its NOT a job, its a hobby, take a feet up, TV on, duvet day, you have been at it day in, day out throughout your C-19 infection, time to take a day off , but no chocolate, hot cross buns or anything else tasty LOL.
Should be nice enough to sit in the garden ad listen to the birds, or the neighbours teenagers!
I have a tidy desk, so its back to building, painting or just watching Red Dwarf!
The choices are endless!
Take care, have a good day
Catch up tomorrow
Regards

Cheers Steve. Yes, enjoyment is what it's all about. If my newly ordered figures arrive, I'll do some work, but if not, I'll continue working my way through the novels of John Cowper Powys.
As for the garden, someone has decided to get their chainsaw out over the last couple days and has been sawing at something endlessly - can't hear the birds, or myself think.

Hi Peter
Beautifully done as always. I love the smiley character - just has so much about him.
Life is up and down normally but in these times everything is more extreme.
Take care.

Jim - Many thanks. I think DAKman is my favourite too.

Steve - Thank you for your kind words. These were immensely enjoyable to do, I must say.
Cracking trio Peter
Up to your usual high standards!!

John - Thought you'd like the shrubbery - I'm going to keep an eye out for dried flowers as I don't have the patience you have to grow my own.
Paul - Very kind of you. These plastic figures are OK, as long as you're willing to put in the work to try and achieve a clean build. I actually think I prefer them to resin, but there are very few out there in 1/16 and I've now built most of them several times. Good to return to to test the skills though.

Morning Peter,
Excellent work as usual. Love the cheerful look on a the DAK chap and the little extras around him bring it all to life.
As to the other two chaps....I’d stay away from them, they look a bad sort :thinking:
