Thanks Mark, Stephano, Steve and Ken for the compliments!

Mark- My next conversion comes from the Dragon kit German Infantry (Ukraine, summer 1943) kit#6153, guy kneeling. He'll be converted into an SS Sturmmann of Totenkopf, Poland 1944.
I'll post in a day or two. Unfortunately I didn't do the extensive SBS on this guy, but there are a few pic's during the process.

Thanks again!

Jim

Wonderful, this is an amazing example how a simple figure can be converted to a great piece. BTW, I love the texture effect on the jacket and the whole setting looks great!

Well done,
Mario

Hi Mark,
Thanks much for the feedback, much appreciated.

Mario,
Appreciate your compliments too! Yes, the tunic does take on a quite interesting texture. I was trying to create a lighter twill look. Thanks again!

Hikaru Mitsutaka,
Thanks for those very kind words and wow, there's a lot of truth to that! I really don't think we could accomplish what we set out to do if there weren't love and compassion for what do! Yes, and research! It's a big part of modeling to me, and I definitely want to share to help my fellow modeler anyway I can. It's all about giving back! Very important to me for sure!

Jim
Thanks again!

Sorry I am so late with reply on this one Jim, but this piece is perhaps my favorite of yours. I like your camo work on the helmet and the Ranger helmet on the ground is a nice touch!
Good job-
Scott
