So I went and dropped the machine gunner and his Schmeizer broke, so he has gone in the bin. What do you think about this field grey, used Tamiya field grey then some dark green with flat flesh and finished off with MiG ammo bluish grey.
not sure about the piping on the pockets. Plus, if you have an iron cross, do you need the red ribbon from the button hole?

I certainly like that . For the uniform I would add some more tonal differences, darker in the creases and lighter on top of the folds. That should give you more depth

Thanks Paul. Brushed up a bit of grey oils to lighten and then went dark with good old Tamiya black panel line, then took most off. The faces really have come to life and the expressions are clearly Two sad looking puppies!!!!!

Thanks Ian. The panel line colour really makes a difference and it is so easy to do. It’s almost feels like cheating

I put all my figure painting on this thread. The girl is for my ASTACO NEO in the construction thread. Thanks for the compliment. Hopefully, I am to do even better.

For the panzerspahwagen there is a German police option in Belorussian. I was thinking of a Jewish hunt based on the book Ordinary People. So I got this set from a shop in Akihabara. Turns out one of them is a priest!!!!! For what reason I have no idea.

So got an idea for a different dio now. Something amusing instead of macabre.

I saw this trick on one of the latest Uncle Night Shift, so given it a go. He sprayed white from above t help pick out the details and stuff. It’s a great tip. The detailing on these ICM figures is exceptional and now very easy to see and so colour in.
