Not only the face is well done, I really like the shading done on the jacket. You've really captured the look of worn dark brown leather.

Excellent work!

I second that, the jacket is superb as is the rest fo the figure.

What a great film, and two such lovely ladies, Mary Ure and Ingrid Pitt :D

That's right mate we did.

I've got that game and many miniatures.

Now afraid to paint her up, majorsmith has done a great job.

I'm currently doing the german sentries.

They aren't the best too be honest however if you look on their forum part of teir website.

http://www.warmacre.com/members/phpBB2/index.php

There are some painted examples that do look very reasonable.

I think they were the first sculpts by the creators of the game. The bunker storm minis and later hour of glory figs are much improved.

I personally like them despite the quality although the figs didn't like taking on the undercoat had to do it 3 times!!

Have you got the game and if yes what do you think??

I haven't played yet want to paint everything up but like the whole concept.
