I would remove the shadows around her eyes....

[Herr Dr. Professor]

Yes indeed, Pavel. She looks a bit jaundiced, doesn't she?

It might be useful....

Thank you, Pavel. I will bookmark that page, especially because it offers photos about other uniforms. I must admit that the top photo on the web page shows quite an unusual uniform, if that's what it is.

The white shirt is the dress uniform, usually it is grey.....
I have a friend who is a reenactor, both the Red Army and the Wehrmacht, it all depends on the number of participants in the game...

HDP,
I found this image in a tiny book I have on uniforms.

Yer durn right that photo is useful to me, Mike. Do your know if that book is still available anywhere? I sure would like to be able to create the patches and insignia on a decal sheet.

The uniforms for the various women's services seem initially to have been quite variable (as with the men's uniforms), but were apparently somewhat regularized late in the war. I noticed, e.g., that the uniform drawn in the photo shows the light yellow piping on the cap (smooth for "enlisted" women, braided for officers), but not on the collar, where I have drawings showing a bit on the collar, too.

Here's another one I find useful. I would add a step or two, but this is really similar to the process I am using. In fact, I need to consider how to incorporate these steps into my latest disast...unh...figure: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w3giOY59cEk&t=426s

Here the deets Dr:
Title--Colour Guide to German Army Uniforms 1933-1945 by J L deSmet, 1973

The teeny tiny book is about 4"x5" and 50ish pages. It came in a pile of WWII reference books I bought at an auction for $5. I totalled up the jacket retail prices and it was just over $600! Books get no respect.

If you scan this book and post it on the site, I think you will get 100 points in karma....
