WIP Critique LAH Kharkov (Blackdog wedgie+Alpine fig')

[pmfs]

My mistake, only the 30 was used??? NOT SURE in Korsun Pocket. The 60/100 was introduced late 1944/1945 I guess?!
Again, I love this work Carl truly inspirational, nobody wants to see a Tiger II in Russia in 1941??? I think modeling is that: historical accuracy...
For Kharkov, and before you decide what to do, be careful, the SS units in Kharkov 1943 dont used camo patterns, I dont have any source that tell me otherwise, maybe some grenadiers used helmet camo covers with camo, I think is pretty acceptable.
MP40 in the right hand and replace the other panzerfaust leaning against the fence with a MG34 and voilá.

Hi thanks again guys for the motivational feadback ! Really appreciated : )

@ Pedro,thanks for the info ! I can't remove the Panzerfaust now or I would as the figure is fully secured in place and would cause big problems if I replaced it in situ ... I think as some of the guys have mentioned will leave as is on this one and say it beat me ! : ( I dare not try removing it ... Maybe it's an early prototype ?! ; ) I think for a mid 44' dated scene the 251 really needed to be Dunklegelb in colour allthough as has been said there would I'm sure be the odd one in p/grey ? Also the Kharkov parka was replaced with the later buttons down the front style rather than the pull over type depicted.

@ Darren thanks mate !! To kind ... Thanks for getting me into all these wedgies in the first place !! ((LOL)) Darren's the man to pick the Darius and Blackdog wedgies up from : )

A real beauty Carl!! This is one of my favorite pieces seen recently on this forum. You've captured it all here despite any concerns. Well done!

Fantastic job on this! If I could paint a fraction at your level of talent, I'd arm my Grenadiers with Star Trek phasers just to see who was paying attention. This is not meant to offend anyone, I just finished a very frustrating project (armor kit) and now I'm going back to figures and staying there for some time.

Excellent paint on both figure and model. Especially the model! Crazy good.

A few endshots

Had to make a few tweeks to the figures boots and groundwork tieing them together... also added more damp and wet areas with different varnishs,added some colour to the leaves and weathering to the parka and trousers.

Many thanks all for the comments and feadback.
