Excellent work. The camouflaged smocks are particularly good! |

How could you commit these to the table and risk them being KO!?!?!? This is why I game, to see a moving diorama. Thanks. |

I never tire of looking at your work, Piers. Just beautiful, and I especially like the transfer on the Flak 43's gun shield. |

Thank you guys… On a bit of a go slow lately (real work and family getting in the way of the important things!) so it was nice to get something finished! |

Lovely work as always, I really appreciate the addition of crews and drivers, etc.. All too often they are left off vehicle kits, adding thee figures finishes the job. thanks once again Duane |

These are excellent. The thing that strikes me is the close up of the vehicle crew behind the gun shield. The guy with the binoculars helmet has a different color. I'm pretty sure that this has been discussed many a time on TMP. Piers can you talk about your helmet color choices? Whenever I use my Battlefront recommended color for helmets they come out very green. Perhaps its the paint pot or my application but I always imagine the helmets to be more grey than green. |

I tend to vary my helmet colours a little. I have examples of those worn in Normandy in a variety of colours… Dark grey, plain green, plain yellow, yellow and green camo… While most of my troops I do I use Vallejo German Grey or Vallejo Panzer Aces Panzer Crew Black for dark grey helmets. I use Vallejo Olive Camo Green for the green helmets and Vallejo Middlestone for yellow ones. I dont over do it though and keep the non-dark grey helmets to a minimum, but enough to add a slight variety among a platoon of infantry. |

The models speak for themselves: beautiful work. Your photographic technique is excellent as well. |
