Another fine work Gerry, minimalistic and the viewer knows exactly what's going on.

And yet another fine piece...congratulations Sir and thanks for sharing!

Not many can enlarge their photos without risking a catastrophe (I wonder if any of my figs would stand the test!)!! You obviously can..!!!

I love the bare metal rim you give the german helmets. It adds a lot of realism!

Unfortunately, the K98 is a catastrophe (modelwise, not your fault)!!!
If you compare it with the real thing..

I suppose it's because of the quiet vignette character that I feel this so strongly.

I didn't know there were still such "funny bits" around in the XXIst century. Don't even want to know which manufacturer is responsible

Well done Gerry!!

Cheers

Gerry,
Another good job. I really like this one. Simple, tells a story. Well done!

Better and better buddy! I still can't get over how fast you work. The detail level is getting better and better. I like the iron cross ribbon and the stenciling you painted on the grenade along with the afore mentioned wear on the helmet brims.
Nice ,

Beautiful work Gerry.

Just one thing that caught my eye is the rifle. Not so much the rifle its self but the sling. A sling would drape over the shoulder, pulled down by the weight of the weapon. So either the sling swivel is in the wrong place or the rifle needs to slide down the soldiers back more so that the sling swivel is roughly in line with the shoulder or slightly below.

Looking at the pose it appears the soldier has hoiked the rifle up and has taken the slack in his hand. Which would require the slack to be taken out between his hand and rifle.

Check out this photo and you'll understand what I'm trying to say.



Wish my figures would come as good as yours (Twinge of jealousy creeping in).

Hi Gerry. One thing stands out to me and that is how red the bottom lips are on both figures. Looks almost like lipstick. A tip I read from Mark Bannerman many years ago and I still follow today. For this colour, add wine to the normal flesh colour and paint the bottom lips only. Try it, looks much better.
