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.

Hi John,

Yeah I did actually think of this when assembling the arms/MP40; he isn't mounting the gun perfectly in his left hand. This is very awkward to get 100% right because there are so many variables (angle of the gun stock, trigger hand, arms being mounted onto the torso etc) but I see your point indeed; I am a meticulous perfectionist and welcome feedback. Well spotted and thank you. G

Update This figure has also had a makeover! I have improved the face, added highlights and shadows to the uniform, detailed the boots and attachments further and dry brushed the MP40 for a more realistic finish....enjoy!

Regards,

Gavin.
