Thanks. I do have lots of patience, but skills...Hmm I dont think I can hold a candle to most of the figure work that I see here. But I do beleive that my work is improving. I am wide open to suggestions (except switching to Vallejos as my main paints- I am not keen on them in my expereince so far),

Nice paint job.

Also, a rather interesting pose.

Nasty looking bugger, but you did a great job in bringing out the character!!!

Gimme a pigfoot, and a bottle of beer...

This is a Warriors 1/35 German Grenadier Stalingrad figure. He bears a striking resemblence to the Cpl Kruger charecter in the 1977 movie Cross of Iron played by actor Klaus Lowitsch. For those who have seen the film, that line isone of the best in a film full of memorable quotes... Anyways since the charecter in question stays dirty for a reason, I went very heavy withthe weathering here. I added a spare Ppsh submachine gun from Zvezda, since he has an ammo pouch for one, and carried one in the film. The Jerry Can is just a prop to help him stand for now.

Comments and critiques welcome- my figures need help!Blind FoldGeeked
