A great little vignette Michael, everything about it is a testament to your skill, from building to painting…a class build, :+1: :slightly_smiling_face:.

@ barnslayer. I added bigger exit wounds per your suggestion. Funny… It was difficult to resist air-blasting the wood shards away. Ultimately, I glued them in place with diluted White Glue. Thank’s again for that very useful input.

@ Tank_1812. Thank’s! Really glad you like it! Hope you were entertained with the puzzle. Thank’s for playing. Here’s yer award. :jigsaw:

@ G-man69. Thank you for those kind words. I really appreciate the compliment. :smiley:

Hi lads, been a bit busy lately, what with the 1/16 Marine and the wife nagging me to get stuff done around the house, I haven’t had much to contribute here lately.
After seeing Rich’s Italian Para with the Telo Mimetico camo, I’ve been dying to have another crack at it. So, what to do….? After going through various sites, trying to find something, I remembered this wee chap.

He’s one that I converted, maybe 2-4 years ago and forgot about. Alpine figure with Hornet head. The parka was changed to the 2nd pattern, so is perfect for what I want to do.
As soon as I get the MMM Marine in primer, I can clear the bench and crack on with it. Hopefully, this time, I can make a better job of it :joy:

Some terrific builds and painting going on here… Sadly mine isn’t one of them lol… Anyone know the actual colour that the German webbing was in WW2 … particularly for this chap…

Hello! Following some wonderful work here for awhile. Thank you all for sharing these great ideas.

Thought I would join in on the fun at the invitation of [Tank_1812] “Have you thought about posting that figure in the figure campaign?”

This is a stick built 1/35 scale tree stand

This figure work started (and continues) over on https://forums.kitmaker.net/t/let-my-heart-be-still-a-moment-and-this-mystery-explore

The real challenge is creation of a proper representation of a western Kentucky white tail deer starting with a highly modified 3D printed figure from Shapeways made by PRINTLE SHOP “Printle Thing Deer - 1/35”

More to follow soon.

John, it looks like late war canvas gear. This could be all colours from green to khaki. Quick google should sort you out, mate. Just look up images for “German webbing WW2”.
