Wow- thanks a lot, guys. I'm gonna enter him in a contest Saturday, so if anything looks wrong please chime in.

The Russian phrases (if the internet translator functioned correctly) are a little less innocuous than the "Kilroy" slogan. The nicest one- the one on the "front" wall- should translate to "NO ESCAPE, FASCIST!"

senojrn- he's in 1/35 and the hedge is: twigs from a cheap patio broom for the trunks, rubberized horsehair for the branches, and an assortmemt of catkin seeds for the leaves. Some of them are Hudson & Allen (Foliage), and some are from an internet store whose name escapes me right now.

EXCELLENT job on the camo!!  Looks great; I really like it!

What scale is this and what did you use for the tree/bush and leaves?

Great work, Steve. You have really evoked a feelin' of desperation with this guy. That says a lot. Well done, man.

What do the Russian phrases mean?  "Kilroy was here"? 

Excellent work!

Not bad at all!  I know absolutely nothing about painting figures and I try to stay away from it as much as I can because I can't paint figures.
