Looks cool! I've been wanting to do more paint jobs on some of my figs as well, however I am lazy.

Very nice work.

the term you are looking for is Heer(Army)..wehrmacht is the overall military in general...hence you have OKW and Heeresgruppe and such.

then you can go into Waffenfarbe(piping) for the different branches within the heer, infanterie(white), Panzergrenadiers(Green),Panzer(Pink), StuG/Artillerie(Red), Medical/Supply(Blue), Police(Orange), Pionere(silver or aluminum w/black) Aufklärer(yellow), Signals(yellow..but different shade IIRC), and so on. This is for the collar tabs and shoulderboards of the Heer, and on the headgear but that's touchy as headgear piping was forgone by OKW mid-war, but some personal retained early equipment into the later war or had custom made stuff..which ignored the "ban" made on the piping.

They look great.

Did you use a paint brush or air brush ?

I used a airbrush for the all over color and a paint brush for the small spots.
I will show you a pic of them now that they are all cleaned up.
