Rob,
Those figures look _Great_! I really admire the neat pink piping which is hard to do at this scale! Following along.

Painless

Here are some quick shots of them on the Tiger:

Next step will be the 10 Fallschirmjäger!
Re: Early Tiger 1, Befehlswagen Ostfront.
Made little progress in the meanwhile.
Some guys need some repainting.
Next step will be searching the correct arms for the right guys.
After they have been painted and glued on, I can start with the Splittertarn camo.

Finished painting those 10 guys this afternoon.
During this week I will start with the Splittertarn Camo.

Added some Splintertarn to some of the Fallschirmjäger.
This kind of camo is not my favorite….for me it is sometimes a real PITA…..
Normally the more detailed the figures are, the easier this makes the paintjob.
But with this camo with its pointed egdes and straight lines, the folds in their jackets/trousers make it quite difficult to do, at least for me!
Done 4 guys by now, and from the one sitting on the gun barrel I will redo the trousers.
Do not like the way I made the camo. Will put a new, greenish undercoat on it again and start over with a new tryout!
6 more guys to go…..

Thank you Herman!
Just put the new greenish base color onto the pants of that Grenadier.
Maybe it turns out better this time.

I take my hat off to your ability to paint figures, and weather tanks.
Re: Early Tiger 1, Befehlswagen Ostfront.
It is mostly good luck and wait how it turns out….
Sometimes I just have to start all over again!
