Nice! Would be nice if 21st did late war Germans. To bad these dont come pre painted.

Very nice indeed. I also wish they came painted. The damn tremor in my hands rules out fine painting work like that.

I am going to re-start selling painted figures again on Ebay..I don't do Verlinden's quality..but I do much better than 21,FOV and alot of toy soldiers I've seen..like the Oynxen(sp) sets that sell for 50$ for 4 men.

I just got a few set of collar tabs, shoulder boards in 1/35 photo-etch for Panzer and Infantrie troop from Eduard...they look just awesome..even have skulls on the panzer tabs...and ranks from Private up to General to fancy up future projects.

Rowsdower, a fine point Sharpie (the really tiny ones) works well for tiny details like ranks, buttons, etc when you have twitches and things. I have Tourette's, so I can understand. Sharpie also looks really good on boots and things like that. That is, if you want a fresh-from-the-factory look, but nothing a little filtering and washing can't help. I still need to get some acrylic paint, enamel just doesn't work for me on figures.

Yeah I use a Sharpie regular point and the ultra fine for doing some of the finer details on GI Joe or Star Wars figures and also for some panel lines on vehicles. I also prefer acrylics, they are much more forgiving than enamels if you goof up.

I can paint figures and I have in the pass but if I can get them pre painted then Im fine with that. But of course 21st and FOV your not getting the detail like for example the set above. And alloy I never thought about using sharpie markers thanks for mentioning it.
