I am just starting the Coree German 200mm 1944 figure. As I have two I wanted to give one of them a new head. I have primed the body but am just finishing off his head.
I still need to do his eyes a bit more, hair and helmet strap
Thanks Ryally

Just starting on the body, I will do the base colours first before I add his arms and head. The parts on this figure kit go together really well. Worked on the eyes a little more as well.
Thanks for looking Ryally

About 3/4 the way through now, just put the left arm on and will start doing the camo on it and clean it up a little.
One question, does the magazine pouch he is wearing in real life stiff at the back or do they bend. Pics of the real thing on a Greman would be great if anyone has them.

I am really liking the first helmet as well. It seems a little better scaled as Jim said, and it adds a nice contrast to the rest of the figure, adding emphasis to the face which has been very nicely painted. 200mm seems like a really nice scale to work in for figure kits.
Model on!!

Definately the first figure, the scale of the helmet looks much better
