Thanks guys. I really appreciate the feedback...
I have been doing a little more work on my figures. Using some lead sheet and couple of Aber photoetch sets - buckles and watches & glasses - I added some more details.
First up is the Partisan. I gave him a Sten Mk.II (from my Riich Carrier) slung over his shoulder, a spare magazine shoved in his trouser waistband and a watch. Yes, I know the strap needs to be settled a little...
For the Brit officer I added a pair of binoculars from the spares box (these are probably German, but if so that merely adds to my 'liberation' theme) and a strap.
Another figure I have been working on is this beautifully posed (and rather sombre looking) fellow.
As with my officer, I would never have found him if I had been looking for an infantryman from the European theatre because he is described as WWII British Infantryman, Far East (Wee Friends WF35010)
However, he looks just right for Italy. To add a little variety, I gave him a Lee Enfield Mk.III with sniper sight from the Riich Commonwealth Weapons Set.
Putting the rifle sling on him was not easy. I had to drill a hole through the hand and then feed the lead sheet through. Buckles were added from the Aber set - and also a watch.
More to come soon...
