Yes that is very helpful, thanks gentlemen !

( oh, and just to add , it is bare metal showing through ) Cheers

Any tips appreciated gents. If touching up spots of chipped or flaking paint on a metal figure, is it always best to dab on primer first or just paint it onto metal , then varnish it afterwards ? Can varnish be used as the primer ( I read that somewhere )? I will be using brushes and acrylic...

Very nice work !

Yes - excellent sets !

Any and all of the earliest attacking Fallschirmjager figures ! Would all be great to see and well overdue.

Yes, a very nice figure. (the flaking is simply on photos of the one i ordered.)

no, you misunderstand - its just a link to your old thread showing the figure as its supposed to be.

https://forum.treefrogtreasures.com/showthread.php?5466-Limited-Edition-Fallschirmjager&highlight=fallschirmjager Thanks for posting this though! i didn't even know the figure existed until searching old threads a while back, a figure i have been looking out for since...

Many Thanks for the advice gentlemen !

Gents, for touching up the odd spot of flaking paint, does anyone have any insight or suggestion as to what brand(s) may be best to use on K & C ? Thanks in advance

An interesting old thread. I wonder if the sculpt moulds are kept in an archive somewhere?

Great scene Steve ! Another fine range of warriors that's Andy has dreamed up! I watched the film "Hostiles" last night, featuring great acting by Christian Bale and Wes Studi - good film, thoughtful but interspersed with the shocking violence of the time. A Western with PTSD as a theme-...

Very impressive !

Very nice ! Good to see the Egyptian columns and Italian Arch in there too !

Many thanks John !

Fair points, I really like John's sculpting style and would very much like to see it translated into WW2 action sets too, I am sure it would sell well.
