Excellent work, there's nothing to say this work needs to speak for itself!

Thanks you guys. Jack it must be the lighting mate. Agreed it isnt as light as the box art but the base coat was mixed with buff, brown and grey so no green included. Thats the trouble with florescent lighting.Smile

Jack, I was being facetious after the last little "debate" on his work here. Sort of like King Arthur asking the Bridgekeeper if his question is about an African Swallow or a European Swallow at the end of Holy Grail. I don't think there is anything wrong at all here.Wink

Whoa!... that is some great camou detail, particularly at this scale.  Done with the naked eye or with some kind of magnification?   Something about the colour scheme is off as Stik has pointed out, or it could be just my monitor.  When compared to the boxart, your figure looks overall green - spring/summer camou -  but the yellow ochre splotches is something most often associated with fall/winter camou patterns.
Nevertheless, awesome job!

regards,

Jack

Lovely looking figure and amazing paint jobs. German uniform camo is really something i need to work on. Is this from a set or does it come as a single figure.
