Thanks John, but I think it's the other way round....I am picking up tips from you (and the others doing 'Go figure')

Thanks John, I'm glad you like it. I thought the ripped uniform would help me get the look I'm after, and convey just how the once mighty Wehrmacht had fallen in the latter days of WW2...

This bloke is from the Gross Deutschland Division and, hearing the rumours that anyone from this outfit would be shot on sight by the Russians, has prudently removed his insignia and shoulder flashes....Can't say I blame him either!

Sing Lofty!!!!!!

That's really well done Ron. You've captured that war-weary look so well & the tattered uniform is magic!

Here's my man as good as finished. I have nearly finished a simple base for him, so I will post that in 'Completed', along with a few words to explain the state of him and how he came by the weaponry!

I hope you approve of this, my first attempt at a 1/16 figure.....Go easy on me, I bruise easily!

Cheers,

Ron
