Re: "The Scenery with the Remains"

Two points come up for me when I see this awesome piece.

First is that 'Mig' claims to own the burnt out vehicle whatever it may be. Sure he's good but he's not anywhere near The Good Doctor. Mig has written (very helpful) books and does work for magazines...compared to this guy, he's still in short pants in my opinion. How come the mediocre (it's all relative) get all the 'glory'?

Second is the use of camo on German figures. This is the first figure I've ever seen that has pants and tunic in the same pattern. The mixed pattern is a cliche for me by now (pants and tunic different, often high contrast). The helmet kinda spoils it for me. Now unless there's something I don't know (highly likely I'll admit), it looks as though The German Q/Masters issued a tunic from 'this' pile and pants from 'that' pile as a matter of course and a camo cover for the helmet from 'those' over there. Something I've thought about.
Nice one Dave...I like this one. It shows that one can achieve a lot in a small space.
Peace.

Although you just don't see any pics of it on an SS mann, I woulda' gone with netting on the helmet in lieu of the camo cover, I also would have left the decals off of the Scharfuhrer's helmet - but I won't second guess the Master, looks fine to me.

Re: "The Scenery with the Remains"

Nice indeed! But I've seen Italian camo on SS before by Calvin Tan, another great artist when it comes to figures.

I know that name...but from where?
I have one book that shows pics of German paras wearing Italian smocks too.
