M.C. Leung shares his Tiger II with DML Fallschirmjager figures on the back deck. As with his TET Offensive diorama, his figure work and attention to detail are truly impressive.

Tiger II and Riders

Wow, these are some of the best figues I have seen. Very realistic skin tones. :-)
The King Tiger isn't half bad either.
Awesome work,

Andrew

That's a good inspiration piece (i think I'll combine those DML sets with eh tri-star ones gust to destroy my sanity!!!), very nice work..... I like the name of the porject as well. Long Live The Lizard King.

Most excellent work dude! Love the figure painting especially. The skin tones and camo are brilliant. One thing stood out for me ...... was the helmet straps. How do you do them? I need some help here and ...... you da´ man!

Thanks, gentleman, the helmet straps are just an ordinary paper cut in size :=)

Thanks for that MC! Do you use a template for this or is each one freehand?
This is one thing I know I must improve on. I have always painted the straps and looking at yours, I can see this is the way to go!

A sharp cutter and a straight ruler are the answer :=)

I do agree with that the DML Fallschirmjagers are one of the best DML figures, but I must said that their heads were not as good as their old product, so I replaced most of them from my parts box and of course they were DML either.

I have to agree that the figures and model are excellent. The only comment I would make is that the CO of "222", Uscha. Kurt Sowa, was one armed. He lost his right arm below the elbow in Normandy.

The guy sticking out of the turret in the photos of "222" that these figure sets were made from is probably the gunner which is why his hat is on backwards.

Remarkable figures . The tank is awsome too . However I think it needs a little bit more of scratches and dust .
