Mainly Artizan with a couple of Warlord and Foundry additions.

Great job, especially on the camouflaged smocks!

Very nice work! Agreed, your Dennison smocks are great. Love the basing as well.

Terrific work!

They all remind of that Welsh bloke off A Bridge too Far.

It's the effect of zooming in so close in the photo. I understand you either paint the eyes and have them look wide eyed in close ups. If you go for a more natural look the eyes can't be seen at normal viewing distance.

Not painting the eyes at all seems not to be possible in 28mm. 20mm you can leave them off.

Thanks for the kind comments, it's took me ages of trial and error to get the smocks where I'm happy with them. I tried going for the brushed on camouflage look (in the early smocks they did actually put the camouflage paint/dye on with a big brush!) I did have an original second pattern smock years ago, so I'm happy with the colour, I've kept the base colour deliberately quite light.
Agree about the eyes, people expect them on 28mm figures, but when photographed close up they look huge mad and scary. Normal viewing distance they look fine.
