I think it must be a wrong tag/url type you're using? I seem to remember that ImageShack has 3 different options for embeddable urls?

different take on the german suits - especially using them for US trops, the only prob i have is the arms, always thought they looked a little weedy

Last picture, the guy on the left in the jacket, what model is he, i MUST get one.

The only thing i would recomend is perhaps a bit more highlights on the larger surfaces of the suits. but other than than nice figures !  the battle damage is well done.
perhaps a weapon swap to replace the MG42 the lead suit has?

Glad to be of service  :)

Are the yanks SOTR? Have not been browsing the weird war ranges a lot, as I try to resist the urge of buying hundreds of minis...

Very cool!
Is the Oddbod figure a representation of a character from a film? I feel like I might recognise him but can't quite put my finger on it...

Krikies! I didn't make the connection to Oddball! "Always with the negative waves, Moriarty!" '->=

The paint job is AWESOME; looks just like Donald Sutherland!

Sorry, I won a three player Kelly's Heroes table convention game years ago; I WAS  Oddball...

Armored Joes are most impressive, but I have to agree about the change in weapons, unless you want them captured tech.

thanks to all for comments&suggests folks!
You're right about the weapons guys...........stealed tech :)
bout the highlighting: maybe the picture is not too clear, by the way they are work in progress.
About the carachter, they are artizans but i'm not sure, it's not mine (ask midismirnoff!)
The big guys are SOTR nazi range with american SOTR heads and some space marine bits (granade, backpack and knives).
sorry for my bad english guys, i'm just an ignorant italian  ;)
