I'd like to thank ajlafleche for turning me on to Vallejo acrylics. But what the hell am I gonna do with all this Tamiya paint?

 You're welcome. As far as the Tamiyas...know anyone who shoots airguns? My friend who does says their targets are just about the same size as Tamiya paint bottles.

Looks like you are off to a nice start, I'd like to see it when you are finished.

My friends already kid me about building German tank models, I don't think I could display a Hitler figure without receiving some serious flak!

Thanks, guys. Yeah, I'm kinda wondering what the recipient's wife will think about a statue of the Fuhrer in her house.

Here's another coupla shots from today's progress (man, I don't know how I got away with painting today. It's been like this: make cole slaw, paint, clean bathroom, paint, peel potatoes, paint, shovel up the dog s**t outback so the visiting kids won't play with it, paint...). Still a teensey bit more detail on the cap's emblem and trim. Then, I have no idea what I'll do next. Probably dullcoat it so I can can screw it up in the wash.

If anybody has pointers for washing a 120mm figure, I'm all ears. Never got this far with one.

Happy Thankspaint- er- Thanksgiving day
