Well done both. Thomas, that is very nice work. Matt, yours looks good too, but I think you were let down a little by the photo, it was too dark to properly make out the figure.

[Susofrick]

Great duel.

[T. Dürrschmidt]

Nice figures. Congratulations Thomas. From which set is the Fallschirmjaeger?

Thanks a lot, guys. The Fallschirmjaeger is from the new Caesar-plastic set.

Also big cheers to Matt Hazelton. Seems we both have a faible for Caesar miniatures. Your GI looks great by the way. But the photo was a bit dark.

[Maurice]

Thanks a lot, guys. The Fallschirmjaeger is from the new Caesar-plastic set.

Really? Thought it was a metal figure, it has that look.

[Mai Strac]

Great duel, a very hard choise! Contratulation to the winner.

[Francesco Giova]

Great figs, compliments to both and to Thomas in particular for the victory and the beautifully realized camo pattern

[M. Hazelton]

Thanks Thomas, and Congrats.

Any picture taking tips? I realize that this is a lot too dark. Any ideas?

[musketier]

Well done to both of you, very nice looking figures. The only suggestion I would make regarding pictures is: Either use a lot more light on the subject
or use a computer software like photo-shop or picasa too add light to the picture. if you use more light use multiple sources, like two lamps at opposite angles so that they cancel the shadows out from each other. The only other light source that works well is Mother Nature's own, the sun.

Is that German paratrooper 1:72 scale? How did you make the strap for his FG42? Great job to both, obviously. Very lifelike.

[T. Dürrschmidt]

It´s from Caesar´s Fallschirmjäger-Set in 1/72.

Thanks for the compliments though this is a "necro post".

I made the strap from thick aluminium foil (from yoghurt cups). I first painted it, then glued it on the fig with super glue.

Regards Thomas
