Thank you very much, indeed eyeballs are the most visible, but there are also some others even smalller...Big Smile [:D] like buttons for the shoulder boards.

Regarding the gloss aspect, I hope that happens only for the guys dressed in black leather jackets and not at all the figures.

I want to use this colour because in reality it looks very good. In photos the gloss aspect of this colour is enhanced, but once again, I hope it is just for such leather jackets. 

Thanks a lot.

I agree, I can't even do eyes in 1/35.  The guy with the Molotov cocktail looks cool--something you don't see every day.  Gave me an idea for a conversion, using a guy meant to be thowing a grenade, and the wine bottles that came with my Churchill.  One thing I've noticed, your figures always seem kinda glossy to me.  Is it just the photography?  A dullcoat would make them look even better.  Thanks for sharing.

1/72 CAESAR - WWII Underground Resistance (Partisans)

These figures I worked in paralell with another project  including tens of figures, which are almost done, but not ready.

Meanwhile, I wanted to post these ones, which are from Caesar's set on WWII Underground Resistance (Partisans) and due to the fact that several poses have German weapons, I tried to convert several into German soldiers.

Two are from Waffen SS (with leather jackets and camo trousers), two are from Wehrmacht (wearing shirts) and the last one (bare headed) could be both of them because I did not paint the collar boards on his leather jacket.

The conversions were very facile; in fact I just replaced some of the heads those wearing civil hats) with Preiser heads as well as one from Caesar's Germans Infantry with Winter Gear set.

I also add some MP40 ammo pouches from Preiser and I replaced the civil bag with gas mask canisters (for two figures).

The Preiser parts fixed pretty good on Caesar's bodies and I use super glue gel. It looks like a quite strong bond, but not the same like the one encountered on hard plastic or Pegasus Hobbies soft plastic.

This time I have not included any review, but perhaps someday I will do it even for this set because I want to paint all of them as Volkssturm and join the other Germans in Berlin, 1945.

Hope you enjoy these figures and it would be great if you tell me which colour of the background you assess as the best one.

Thank you very much.
