...oops, wrong dog face...HEY DOOG!!! Alpine 35th scale US Tankers:

Nice work making this guy look like somethin'--I agree that hands are really well done; I would try to de-emphasize the blackness of the eye slits a bit--they're a bit harsh--and tone down the lip color. Might help this boy look into a mirror..?

Great work as usual M.R...The hands are sooo realistic...Fantastic!

Every Alpine fig I've ever worked on has had esquisite detail...

Terrific stuff as we have come to expect.  And no doubt they are really dog faces.  Put a drop of black paint on their noses...

Once again, you captured the "look", Pard... Just FYI, Manny.. "Dogface" was strictly an Infantry thing in WW2 and in Korea... They were kinda possesive of it as well... Marines later took to calling all Army troops "Doggies" (still do)... The term Grunt came later. Initially it was believed to be an acronymn for "GRound troops-UNTrained" and applied only to replacements.  Another version is that it stood fror "GRound Unit-Needs Training".

They both look great to me Manny! As always, outstanding work.

How did Patton respond to that? LOL 

I like the German shepard too.

Very nice detail work, Manny, top notch.  I have looked at those figures for my shermie, but they seem a bit...shell shocked? in demeanor.

Very nicely done, though.
