Well this was a steep learning curve but it hasn't put me off getting some more Alpine figures,they certainly lived up to their reputation for top class sculpts and quality, maybe next time minus camouflage.
After two or three attempts at attaching realistic looking rifle slings I gave up but I'll give it another try in the next day or two.

Looks good Roger!

Ken

Thanks very much indeed Ken.

Nice one Roger, great work on the pair.

Cheers Bob. As you can see I decided to hide my painting skills with ultra-realism.... muck!

Nice change of direction, Roger! Always helps to keep the mojo going!

Excellent work on these two and the groundwork Roger.

Thank you you both very much.

Excellent work! Congrats!

Thank you very much Taesung, having you comment is very much appreciated.
I'm a happy customer and these won't be the last Alpine figs. I paint.

The jobs a good'n Roger.
All the best
Keith

Cheers Keith.

Very nicely done , both figures

Mobo

Roger mate......I see you've made a bit of a forced landing on sausage side(or in 17th century spelling:sausidge).Just kidding of course these are lovely figures painted to your usual high standard.Well done my friend!

Oda.

Thank you Mobo.

Thank you Oda.
For years I've been hearing "Oh no, not another WWII German " so I decided to find out what all the fuss was about. The verdict is bring em on!

Very nice learning curve. I think it is easier to put the slings on the rifles prior to setting the figures in place? Seems easier to get to. Well done Roger.
Cheers
John

Thanks John.
My feeble attempts at attaching the slings were as you suggest John. I decided to glue em down before frustration caused some kind of catastrophic "accident".

At a boy Roger, you are now the latest Alpine Miniatures convert !

Beautiful job all around including the battle torn terrain. Therefore I give you one big.......



Joe

Cheers Joe.
Khaki battledress next I think or khaki drill.
