Brilliant work man! Maybe dry-brush some dark yellow or OD over the gloves to change the color. Regardless; this is one stunning and amazing figure!

Thank you gents ! This is the final update on the first figure I've been haunting you with. His rifle will be completed with a sling tomorrow. Up to figure 2 now.

Very cool indeed Guy . But that is no way to treat a GI fella I know I took a risk by putting the toothpick there.

Many thanks chaps ! I made a start with the diorama work. The cobblestone road was coloured with acrylics by airbrush. The verges were built up like this : Old seafoam was crushed so it became another useful structure. I brushed on thinned white glue and the seafoam was sprinkled in. Here and there I added grass tufts to it. A couple of small rocks to refer to the Ardennes... I found some paper oak leaves (Fredericus Rex) and how I love to use these as they add so much sharp detail to it. 10 of them already make a difference ! Have a nice weekend and please wash those hands 100 times a day.

Thanks Paul, it's easy to make it look pretty realistic with a touch of paint. That's something for tomorrow.
