The voices for most of the major characters in that series were celebrities. It's nice of them to get kids interested in the AWI, but man did they screw up a lot of history... oh well.

At the moment some friends and I are in the process of re-kitting and forming a new mess of the 33d Foot. I also on occasion do Royal Navy and Civilian.

He is fantastic. Def. interested in this guy.

Thanks for the kind words Mark. Being my 2nd figure, I really was just playing around. A friend (and my mentor when it comes to figure painting) showed me a technique whereby you do the shading in oils, and do the base shading with a burnt umber color and then do the highlights over the top...

Yea. I went from Schiffers Publications Uniforms of the SS series, which cited the original pattern reversible parkas as being feldgrau on the inside, so I went for that gray-green color as apposed to the more mouse-gray color of the gloves and balaclava to give it a wee bit of contrast.

I know Stockholm is a bit of a distance from the states, but I would try emailing the people at Minuteman National Historical Park, or as it is more commonly known, Battleroad. The historians and rangers there are very knowledgeable, and should be able to help you out no problem. A link to...

The figure does have a very mat appearance, I think it was the harshness of the lighting that gave it that sheen. Thanks for the comments everyone!

And here are some pics of my second figure. This also was a Tamiya 1/16th kit. It went together very nicely, and was painted based on research into the original reversible uniforms. I didn't feel confident enough to attempt camouflage yet, so I went with the initial two tone reversable uniform...

This is the first figure I have ever painted. It was a pretty simple Tamiya 1/16 kit (WWII German Machine Gunner (Greatcoat)). It was painted according to the color scheme, with little modification, except a whitewash to the helmet and painting the shoulder boards on the greatcoat with a...

Hello Planet. Please excuse me if this question has already been asked. This is my first post here (great site by the by). I am using Vallejo acrylics and was wondering what the list would suggest as an acceptable equivalent of bottle green. Specifically, the bottle green color used for the...
