    LOL Andy! You didn't need DPM around the swimming pool - surely! Sorry mate, no slight intended - honestly! :tears-of-joy:

    Edited PS: I used my skanky old smock as the model for this - all that's missing is a retro smell!

      Never having served and knowing more about German Second World War uniforms than I do modern British ones, I can't comment on the accuracy but it is looking very, very good indeed already.

      I must admit I'd not heard of the soldier before you started this - to my shame - but having read wat he did, his performance in the field was outstanding.

      Thanks for taking the time to share your updates and improve my knowledge at the same time!

      All the best.

                  I avoid painting figures like the plague. Because I can't. Yours however, is looking amazingly good. Great work.

                    All aspects of figure painting are never easy but agree with Tim - you've nailed it here.
