Jerry- its great to see one of the figs painted and you've done a great job on the camo schemes of his clothes. The dusty, used effect you've managed to impart on the parts is very interesting and the insignia detail on the field shirt is spot-on, as is the look of the skin. Bravo!

Thanks all again for keeping up with this project. You are very kind to me.
Here we see Obersturmfuhrer Kuret,late of the 12SS Pioneer Bt doing the staged walk of shame for the British Newsreels. Looks to me like he was relieved of his decorations when he was searched and his pockets and jacket are still open from that experience. It would stand to reason that,given the cammo outfits of the rest of the guys,that he also had a cammo jacket that was removed by the Brits maybe to show off this SS officer to the viewing public?
Kuret does not seem happy about the whole thing.

I recieved my shpment of Dragon stuff so I thought it was time to add the first of the "wee Scotsmen" to the mix. He is the guy in the pic next to him. Any idea on what he is wearing under the tin hat? Beret? watchcap?

You've chosen the head very well for the Scotsman, it looks good. I doubt if he would be wearing a beret or any sort of regimental head cover, a cap/hat/woolen hat etc, in my humble opinion, would probably be more often seen. He might not actually be wearing anything under the helmet though.

Thanks Karl.
The original pic is much more clear and you can see that something is being worn under his"brain bucket". It is not clear enough to make out what it is but it is there!
Thanks for looking in and for your always appreciated comments.

Thanks for the kind words buddy! The skin areas I usually paint with artists' oils. I use a combo of ochre,burnt sienna,black,white and red. I started in on this from reading the old old but still relavent Shep Paine book on dios many moons ago.
The uniforms I still do with Tamiya and Pollyscale acrylic but I am thinking about trying Vallejo.

Hello there,
Awesome work, Jerry.
Every one of these guys is instantly recognisable.
I think under the helmet is a cap comforter:

Yep Jerry, a very intriguing and well done dio! You have done a marvelous job of capturing the movement in the figures and as I said in the other thread you have done an exquisite job on the uniforms.
Glad to see your work.

Its fantastic to see more progress on this Jerry- I always like seeing a couple of different camo shades on German smocks etc, it always draws the attention and you certainly have the patterns down to an art! The expression on the right hand guy is brought out nicely too- especially the detail on his furrowed brow. What sort of mix do you use for the blood?

Thanks Karl,
I used a base of hull red for the blood and then swirled in a little oil paint red and burnt sienna.
