200mm Panzergrenadier

Thanks again for the kind comments. When painting faces, I start with a dark flesh color and do successive washes with lighter colors to give the face life. With the five-oclock shadow, I use washes of german blue grey (Vallejo acrylics) to give him the unshaven look. His teeth do look a bit funny and I think Ill tone down that some so they dont have so much contrast.

Excellent painting. That face looks so real. How did you get that 5 O'clock shadow effect?I'm very impressed.

Outstanding work!

There's only something about the teeth that looks strange, I can't exactly say what; maybe the black in between.

Thank you Sdkfz and Plymonkey!  Ive seen photos of soldiers wearing ammo belts both ways too, and never gave much thought about it.
