    German Elite Infantry 1/16 scale featuring pea camouflage pattern.

    Hi again folks,

    Another completed build from the Tamiya 1/16 scale figure series. This was a wonderful challenge to build and paint and am very pleased with the end result. Will hopefully add some more photos soon in natural light because artificial light doesn't do the figure justice, but just wanted to post it on here this evening regardless!

    Also Merry Christmas to everyone on the forum!Click image for larger version

        Very nice indeed - a super-clean finish. How will you base it?

              Thank you Paul. Will probably add some diorama grass and dirt, maybe even some bricks too. G

                Many thanks Andrew. This took a lot of skill and patience to achieve.

                          That's turned out very nicely indeed.

                          Very well done.

                            Thanks Andy,

                            The iris' are a shade too intense in the eyes but otherwise I'm well satisfied.

                            Gavin.

                              Very nice painting Gavin. One little nit-pick with the pose, if I may. Probably the model rather than your work. He is holding the magazine of his MP40, this is the quickest way to get a jam in this weapon. This is definitely NOT a criticism of your work. Just me being pedantic-50 odd years of collecting and shooting antique and classic firearms.
                              Regards,
                              John.
