I also like how the figures are in poses that look natural.  Especially the guy scraping mud off his boot.

Rubberized horsehair? Where did you get them?

After a long and vast search, I finally found it here:

After looking for so long, I couldn't believe how cheap it was- 'bout $2.00 US for a 4x6 brick. I bought a boatload. Arrived in less than a week!

At first I thought your camo shelter halves were a bit too stark, but they look alot better in the natural outside light.  Great hedge and groundwork.  Very nice overall.

I fully admit that the paint job on these guys is just terrible... that's why they were yanked off the Sherman dio. Among other points, I can tell that I wasn't thinning the paint enough, and three of the four were painted with Tamiya. I've since upgraded my Vallejo selection and am trying to get better at oil paint flesh tones. With my cataract, I couln't see how bad it was until I took these shots. I'm gonna incorporate my dig cam as part of my builds from now on.

I appreciate the comments on the groundwork; this was more of a "figs to show off base" than the other way around. But feel free to blast away at any of it. I can take it

 Steve M,

  I know the feeling, guilty of the same thing, I too have many prospective dios and finishing them is WIP at best. I have to say your's is among the best I've seen on this forum and in professional made dios.

 Keep up the great work,

Thanks, John. You're far too kind.
