Oh, wow! Bodge, that's amazing. Great skin tone, and fantastic camo.

Very nice, Andy, I just got some Hornet tanker heads, I'll be putting them on my DML panzer crew figures. 

Your faces are really amazing.

Where'd you get that umbrella?!

But very nice camo job, also very realistic flesh work. Is that a Jagdpanther? Am I missing his thread?
I really like how the TC's left hand fits- did you have to modify the pose other than the head?

That's awesome... Really, simply awesome....

But one thing I notice...  The crushercap.. Or Offiziermütze, if you'd like...   The Waffenfarbe is white, not pink red?

The top white line is correct, being an officer line. But the two under it should be red pink..

 

And one sidequestion, how are those Preiser figures? I've read they are pretty good, and I'm considering some... But what would you say about them?  Smile [:)]

 

Thanks in advance,

Here ya go Huxy, he was actually from a different unit but i didnt want to exsplain that all the time and it just makes sense to show for what he is as for what he,s supposed to be so cheers for pointing out. second member is a corpral.Pssstoff the umbrella came with the figure and yes it is a jagdpanther which is posted over on the Armour forum and yes i replaced the hand and repositioned it aswell.Cheers for noticeing..

Wow- quick work on number 2, looks very good

Thanks for the info, I'll definitely check out your armor post!

EDIT- just noticed the semi-gloss look of that visor on your first painted figure- very very nice touch

 Fantastic Bodge!  Did you paint the badges and emblems? or are they transfers? I gotta paint some more figures, you have inspired me.

Cheers guys, yes doc all painted. The second figures skin tone was not up to the quality of the first so i redone another head and im much happier withit now.

That is once again some unbelievable figure painting, on the second figure is the head a hornet replacement?

Thanks, Jim

Great work on these figs! Add that extra realizm to your jagdpanther. Pretty intimidating guy with the umbrella, I didn't think that was possible. LOL
