Der Scharfschutze

Hi Joe, you've done a great job and I can't see anything that needs fixing, but if you wanted to do a little extra, you could try dirtying up the lower part of the outside wall plaster?
Best wishes, Gary.

Superb work. Amazing painting ! Bravo !!!!!!!
Superb figure also !
But small defect, visible to every good soldier, especially Sniper
A non-camouflaged weapons that exceeds a window.
A high risk of being detected by another sniper!

As much time I spend poking around here I don't know how I miss things either ! Glad that you like this little vignette.

Hey Gary, glad that it meets with your approval ! Actually I plan to splatter some mud on that side. I did fling a bit of burnt umber on there, but the spots came out very small and barely visible, especially when photographed with a cell phone. You're right, that wall looks too clean cut! Thanks for bringing it up, its a good reminder !

Howdy Luc! Thank you for your words of praise!

You're absolutely right about the sniper position. He got complacent and needs to review his TTPs!

Before I started painting the thought did enter my mind to camouflage the window a bit. I even thought of placing beams and other roofing debris leaning on the outside of that wall. However, that would require a larger base, and my cabinet is getting crowded. So I said the heck with it!
Again Luc, thanks for checking in and commenting !

You welcome, I could make the sniper course my officer school.
But the officers are rarely sniper, even with the qualification, however, having learned, I have some remembrance.
But to return to the figure, it is against a beautiful photo of propaganda type.

Propaganda German snipers

Thanks for posting these Luc ! Other than the guy using the turret for a rest, I don't recall ever seeing any of those pictures.
