Very beautiful. I like the details.

How did you make that oak leaf camouflage pattern on the soldiers riding the Steyr? I know how to duplicate the pea pattern but I haven't tried painting oak leaf patterns.

Yes I always paint faces with Winsor&Newton oils. My method in german camouflage painting is quite simple, I shade only base colour and then apply camo by horizontal movements of brush in oakleaf and vertically in pealike. I use Humbrol enamels.

Hungarian Officer sculpted is very impressive.
I cant wait to see your "Eisenkreuz - Hugary 45" dio. Figs look just great. What you are going to add to them? This tiger II in backgroud with tristar figures?

Pavka, I've never done a German camouflage uniform, so could you please explain the method, a little better so a senile oldman can understand it?
Perhaps a simple step by step, with photos would help me, if possible.

Hello again
Ok I will try to explain the camo painting tomorrow (i have to think how to explain it clearly, because I haven't got a digital camera and I can't support it with photos)
Now more pictures of Schwimmwagen in Kaiserbarracke - December 44






Best regards and many thanks for your nice opinions
