    Hello, I'm starting this excellent figure from Alpine miniatures, I always wanted to try the paratroopers Splinter camo with tropical trousers :)
    For the helmet I used Luftwaffe blue and with hairspray chipped the Desert yellow.

    Thanks!

    By the way this is one of the best cast figure I ever did-there's no seamlines present at all, even small. Surely I will buy the another guy from the set ;)

    Regards!

    Continuing with the camo, I used German camo beige for the base and brown and green blotches from Panzer Aces.

    Thank you!

    Proceeding with the splinter strips or raindrops, they are very small, but they should be-like on the real camo. Also I painted the equipment.

    Thank you! It's almost ready, I have to make the MP-40 sling and glue it. The weapon is painted with Gunze Mr.Metal color Dark iron and polished for metal sheen.

    I tried to represent the Luftwaffe eagle on the helmet. I know there's very nice set of Archer dry transfers, but they are very hard to find, so I opted for hand painting :)

    Well done on the eagle, looks the part. Looks to be nearly finished and a very good job on the painting.

    I did the MP 40 sling from Tamiya tape. I attached it by drilling small gaps and pass the tape there. That way the strap will not detach from the gun and is more realistic ;)
