The heads are almost there, some are better than others but using an arm's length with the Mk 1 eyeball, + specs for some of us
They are OK, still need to do lips and some glazes but I am happy to put them all up here for some feedback,
I know they are going in the right direction for what I am aiming for
They will be the supporting players in something more armoured, I just haven't built all the Stug's yet
So the first 4 which will be the general staff in the Stug 0 testing ground
2 pasty pale staff officers a General and Colonel
2 junior officers
The split diorama with a Stug A, the cold wind first
as Non hornet heads the cold wind figures are really expressive and easy to paint too.
They do look miserable and cold, the close ups are brutal, I need to sharpen the eyes up and some more glazes to get that extra cold feel to the faces
The other 4 figures for the flip side of the diorama, the Barbarossa figures, tanned and cheery, as things were still, a big adventure, except the NCO
Still got teeth, lips and the hair to do, but I have to say the hornet hair cut figures are superb and such great expressions to paint, even I can't fudge them up
A finally the escapees from the GB, the 2 Siberian guards, almost a Laurel and Hardy combo
I know I will not be painting figures for Alpine anytime soon, but I feel, taking the time, all of 2015
, to keep trying, has gotten me to a place, where I am happy with my efforts.There is still some polishing to do before they are united with their bodies, but I am happy enough,and have a few extras bits to sort out,
now, I have seen the close ups
Damned camera 
I hope you enjoy
I should have the final shots in the following days, weeks, months?
more soon?
