Otto Carius and Crew

Looks good. My only comment would be that they all have a very wide eyed appearance. Almost as if they all simultaneously involuntarily evacuated their bowels. J/K!

Also, Carius never had Tiger #007. Michael Wittman did. 

Sometimes its OK not to paint in the eyes on 1/35th scale figures. Beautiful work on the uniforms.

I think white is too white... should be a touch more pink. Unless you are painting a female.

Hi Tuk...nice work on the figures' uniforms. As for the eyes, everyone here have different methods to tackle a difficult task. I usually paint the whites, but always add a wash to shadow the upper and lower eyelids:

Many thanks for your kind comments. I don't have Tiger #217 so I borrowed # 007 from Wittmann to complement the figure set (how could you show tank crew without a tank?). As for painting the eyes of figures, I think it depends on the modeler. "Art Instructor" usually didn't paint them in the past but he did later on. "Tuk" painted the eyes of this set not so good, but I think he did a very good job in another set. This one :

Sorry I miscommunicated. I should have stated that it was OK not to paint in the pupils on 1/35 figs. Its a matter of personal taste and some are very good at it. I however am not.

I disagree on not painting eyes on 1/35 figures.  You can do it, but have to remember to shape them onto slits and not big, round google eyes.  The method that works for me is to use the cross technique.  First put a thin, horizontal white line across the eyes. Next, cross it with a thin brown or blue line vertically for the iris.  Lastly, shape the eye into an oval slit with some flesh colored paint.  Do all this with a very fine OOO brush or smaller.
