Er, ah.. do you mean what paint am I using ? ( You can tell I'm a rank amateur - I don't even possess an airbrush.. [img]redface.gif[/img] ) So it won't quite be up to your standards, Mahross !

Actually I think buying all the various paints cost more than the model ! I'm using a selection of Humbrol, Revell and Xtracolour paints plus one or two recent articles in 'Military In Scale' plus Steel Masters' 'Ambuscade a Poteau' edition for hints and tips. But really, there's nothing too challenging about this one - just plenty of patience needed and I shall probably sweat a little over the Waffen-SS camo smock which just peeps out from beneath the reversible winter over-smock. Plus there will be the 'shadowing' of the uniform wrinkles and then the base will need to be realistically finished with grass/mud... ( NOT snow because at that stage of the battle snow had not fallen ).

And I plan to mount somehow on the base a damaged Nazi cap eagle actually found in the Ardennes by a friend using a metal-detector.

Yes - must also get a digital camera !
