The paint job is phenomenal! The face looks like a hardened Fallschirmjaeger veteran.

Wow, when I first looked at it, I thought it was 1/16 scale. Man I wish I could paint like that. Oh well, a guy can dream.

Superb! But, seriously - he must have a miniaturisation device and that's a flash frozen re-enactor 😉

Seriously, I'm sure there is no way that I will ever get to this level with my figures. Absolutely incredible! We have several master painters here on Armorama... and Günther is one of them! Great work mein here.

Every time I feel like I've almost mustered the courage to try adding figures to my work someone comes along with something like this. Astonishing!

This guy is so cool...and yes, he's evidently early-war. Nice facial expression.

This figure represents a paratrooper during the German invasion in The Netherlands, 4-5 May 1940. The Waalhaven is one of the commercial docks in Rotterdam, close to important bridges which connect the northern part of western Holland to the western southern part.

Some figure painters should not be allowed to show their models!
Their standards are that high that we all feel bottom line amateurs.
Whow! What a quality is shown. Superb.
Having gone through the internet one sees a lot more asthonising models!

Looking forward to see more.
