I must say that I am INCREDIBLY pleased with how they came out. I spent a bit more time on each figure and I think it shows. I painted the body armour the luftwaffe blue colour, associated with Fallschirmjager. I guessed from the helmet shape that that is what they are supposed to be like. I added the FJ eagle to the armour, since the helmet had the little rivet sticking out on the sides.
Painted while listening to: Island 731 by Jeremy Robinson
This is my first Jeremy Robinson book. I've looked at his stuff before, but thought it might be like the mass-produced Clive Cussler stuff. I was pleasantly surprised to find no crazy over-the-top characters. Of course, you have to still suspend belief while listening to it, but I thought it was a great book!
Nice work again. I think you're right on the assumption the Nachtjäger beeing FJ's as not only their helmets look the way but their rifles resemble the FG-42.
