I like the guy with crossed arms. He looks ticked off.

What are the unusual stripes on the uniforms? As a former tanker, and as a former volunteer crewman for the Patton Museum, I don't recall ever seeing any items like that. Allen

Shading to represent creases/wrinkles in the uniform I suppose. Pretty common painting technique which looks great on the table.

Those are Lamercraft Minitatures from Elhiem Figures: elhiemfigures.com/24.html They look nice, though personally I don't like the "stripey" approach to uniforms, but it is fairly widespread, especially in the UK from what I can tell.

"Shading to represent creases/wrinkles in the uniform I suppose." Oh. Looking more closely at some of the other figures in the gallery, I see that the faces and hands are done with similar techniques. Seems a shame, if the figures are well detailed, to ignore the casting and place broad strokes willy-nilly. Oh, well: not my style. Allen
