That's looking good. I like the job you did on the pants. It's kinda hard to tell about the rifle because it's dark and the pictures are a bit dark too. Do you prefer the molded boots? I know that some people do prefer them over leather/pleather ones. I use molded boots on some of my bashes but for German boots I like the ones made by DiD with whatever cloth gaiters I can find. The DiD boots aren't quite as nice as the very expensive ones by NLM but the DiD ones can be had for a decent price if you shop around. The only problem is finding gaiters that fit tight enough. Sometimes it's necessary to cut the straps and resew them so that they fit tighter.

Yea.
ATM I do not have any extras but I have some molded ones and I just buys some gaiters, cut the molded gaiter off the hot glue the new one tight to the skin of the figure, not cloth on cloth

BTW turn you computer brightness up.
On mine the pic is very lit up and when I was taking it there was no flash ( too bright)
