Guess it is time for a update on my figures… this is my inspriration
for painting faces…
First colors on the figures…
Then some more colors, and fixed the trousers of the pointing guy…
The group together (still need to add a matt coat)
Are they supposed to be zombies?
this one is…
Haha! The zombies in that video… that’s my pace right now! 
‘Axle Grease on Rouge’
Sarge takes a step back to admire his latest masterpiece… “Viola!”
Notes:
• The axle grease was inspiration from the “Sticky Bomb” scene in ‘Saving Private Ryan.’
• The bullet holes from the Thompson MG go all the way through the ‘WAFFEN SS’ poster and fence.
That’s one done and five more in the immediate queue. 
Hope you like it! 
Cheers!

Love it, Mike! Great concept and execution there. Looking forward to the next!

… and he didn’t even get any on himself. Skills
Looks great Mike! Great little scene there. Really tells a story.
Thank’s guys! Glad you like it.
This was only supposed to be a practice run — an extra figure in the stash. But as usual, things tend to happen when I ponder too much. Ultimately, it all seemed to fall together. 
If it wasn’t for this fun campaign and the wealth of knowledge shared here, this creation never would have happened. … Now it’s time to clear the bench to make room for the impatiently waiting AT Gun Squad!
Go figure!

Excellent! I love the concept and execution! My only quibble would be the exit holes in the fence would probably be larger and more ragged showing more splintering.
@ barnslayer. Thank’s! And thank’s for your input. I was kinda’ thinking on the same lines. Just didn’t want to over-handle the delicate roots when I shot the fence up.
Might be tricky, but I can still fix it.
It just occurred to me… Who would know better than the “barnslayer?”

Looks great Mike. Look forward to seeing the other projects. 
A great little vignette Michael, everything about it is a testament to your skill, from building to painting…a class build, 
.
G,
@ 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.
@ G-man69. Thank you for those kind words. I really appreciate the compliment. 
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 
G.
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
with a scratch built Centerpoint 370 Sniper crossbow
and a hunter created with a “Polite” head, spare box parts, Live Resin boots, foil, and Milliput
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.
These might help.
Wow! That crossbow looks fantastic!
