Here's a teaser or 2.

I'm also looking for feedback on the camouflage.

And praise to Doms Decals to getting me my order here in under a week, arriving just when I needed them the most. Nicely centered Balkenkrueze, lovely.

Well I think they all look great!

Excellent!

That is very nice work. The paint jobs are great and I like the bases very much. So were the decals a pain in the butt to apply?

Other then cutting with a fresh blade to make sure the paper does not rip, not really. If you pay attention to what you are doing you could do it with a pair of sciccors, but I prefer the extra bit of control. The decals soaked for 30 seconds, and then I just put them on the tip of a brush, and place them wehere I want them. Just make sure the spot is wet as then you can move it around a bit. Then take a dry brush and hold near the water to soak it all up and then they set really wel. I do always add Micro sol for good measure, plus another coat of gloss to blend them in.

And if by decals you mean the letteting, thats just plain jane paper from my printer, Arial size 7, glued down with undiluted wood glue, and then a coat of gloss and matte varnish to tie it really down. I seem to have been a bit sloppy with the one on the Bergepanzer III though, it isn't on straight.

Tiny stuff paints and works just like the bigger ones really, as long as you are not hamfisted. Eyesight (a common complaint) should not matter either, with proper glasses (I've got -12 in both eyes) you can pick up any detail at close range. The labels are just there cause I got the attention span of a gnat and forget who is who and what moved etc. This helps a lot.

Thanks for the info, it doesnīt sound too horrible
I had good luck with Domīs decals for 1/300th aircraft using pretty much the same method as you (but without the Mirco sol), but I thought the nooks and crannies on the vehicles would be a problem.
You did very nice work!
