discussion Tamiya German WW2 Elite Infantryman 1:16th scale.

My completed Tamiya 1:16th Scale German WW2 Elite Infantryman figure.

Very enjoyable build, no issues, all went together as it should, easy to paint. I'm slowly getting a (little) bit better everytime I do one of these.
Here are the completed pics and a link to a short YouTube video.
Cheers

Cheers, you know I don't hang about, Lol! I'm already scouting the stash to see if I can squeeze another one in before the Tamiya GB starts....
The camo was a bit bright to start off with, but I toned it down a bit with some shading, weathering and then the final matt coat also toned it down a bit more.

I concur

If I may minor critique, eyes might need a bit of work. Only that he's not looking down the MP40
There are many, many ways of cheating with eyes tho'

Yep, thats cos I did the eyes with the head off, then obvs when I put the head on, the eyes did not line up with the gun barrel, Doh! Silly schoolboy error, (another one) but every days a schoolday, etc.
My excuse could be that he's keeping an eye out, sideways, for Johnny English coming up on his flank..... or summit!
I'm not messing with the eyes now, as I will b*gger them up if I try....but I'll know for next time....
