Richard - Glad you approve. A good walk by the sea yesterday seems to have cleared the sinuses somewhat, thanks.
Brad - Why is it that I find this business harder as I go along?
Ralph - Thank you my man.

That's all for today:
I've now added some of the equipment. I put the entrenching tool at the front, as the ammo pouch I'd prepared for that position didn't work out. Although it would slightly encumber his movements, I've decided that his sharpened spade is his favourite weapon and he keeps it handy.
I also added the gas mask canister at this stage so that I could make the strap and hang some of the grenades from it. I wasn't sure beforehand if the arrangement would work out, so I wanted to try it before deciding where to put the rest of the equipment.

Richard - I have used the Goering figure before and I think he'll make a nice field officer this time. Less work to do on the clothing, but things like a belt need adding. And if you are having a clear-out, all donations very gratefully received!
Scottie - Very kind of you. Thanks for looking in.

This is looking very good, Peter- I do like the work you did on the creases on the tunic. The pairing sounds like an excellent idea too

Cheers Neil. I'm not entirely happy with the tunic, hence my covering it with equipment. I have another couple of cross-straps to add which should push it back a bit.

Morning Peter
Like the vignette idea, and both repurposed flyers too.
It should spark the imagination and I'd a home for all the equipment you had out aside.
Have you ever painted one of the flyers heads?
I seem to remember they always get replaced?
Does the Herman figure look like him?
Have a good day with the paints.
Stuck on the bus, some motoring/roadworks disaster, somewhere!
Regards.

Ralph - The light is particularly good at the moment, but that also has the disadvantage of showing up the weak points.
Peter - Thanks. The colour of the handles is based on Vallejo Japanese Uniform, believe it or not.
Steve - Morning (actually afternoon now, sorry). The Miniart German Aces heads are absolutely terrible, some of the worst I've seen anywhere. I don't know about a resemblance to the subjects; they don't even resemble human beings! Should get this finished today.

The first chap's done:
I will add some weathering when both figures are on the base.
More equipment to add today and a lot of straps and buckles to make. Richard had already done a great job painting the MP18, so I just finished it off and touched it up in a couple of places. I've also given him a cigar to hold in his right hand.
Now waiting on the delivery of the second figure......
