I like your rendition of the Flakartillerie War Badge Nap, very neat. Field Blue mess kit looks good too - Vallejo Luftwaffe Uniform?

Hi Guys
Bit of an update ...started to begin with the flesh ...very early stages ( yes we're already done ) .....
Painted the medals and ribbons .......kept looking at them ....just wasn't happy ...medals were over scaled in thickness so off it all came
Resculpted ribbons with material creases and plain medals on which I will paint the details on them rather than use putty which looked too heavy in definition
Que the iffyvision iPad pics

Excellent Nap, very well done.
Cheers Bob ..plenty of time for me to ruin it with the flesh...lol
Thinking wether to do a blonde or dark hair ??
Stay tuned
Nap
IMO blonde would make him look more 'aryan', as he's already sporting a rather 'middle eastern' nose which dark hair would accentuate. Don't know how to put this politically correct. But anyway you won't be able to make him laugh!
Keep up the good work!
