Now I know you've got some serious magic in you; just went back to page one to see how you set the off load arm swing, forgetting about the PB bleepjob then, lo and behold, almost all of your early pictures came back?? Checked, and they are flowing from the bucket? WTX? Magic, says I.



Well,I assure you buddy,it had nothing to do with anything I did,that's for sure. I spent a few weeks wandering in the wilderness of photo posting despair.

Hi Jerry
Yet another masterpiece from you. Don't know if anybody else already noticed, but in my humble oppinion, the best "detail" in this, is that the NCO's uniform and helmet looks a bit over sized, which might indicate, that the soldier is very young and maybe a bit "boyish" in appearance.
Manufactors seems to forget, how different people's sizes are in real life. Every figure are more or less the same size, but if we take a look in any group photo, either the old High School or service ones, it's very clear how we differ from each other.
Sorry, guess I got a bit carried away

I do try for that baggy look now when I do a fig. If you look at like 95% of troops from that time they all have very baggy uniforms,which makes sense as who wants to wear a form fitting jacket in the field,dirty and moving around a lot ?
The helmets I always like to show big as well,it adds a little drama and as you said,gives a more youthful appearance.
Thanks my friend for the always nice comments,
J
