World War! Para Time! Excellent! ;)

Rather nice. I'm particularly taken with the Zeltbahn effect.

Absolutely superb ! Always a joy to see your work.

I don't suppose you have a reference for the camouflage ?

Fantastic! The details are amazing. The Camo and insignia are fabulously done.

A battle with which I have a personal interest as my Grandfather was there, different side to these chaps though!

Lovely work!

By the by none of the figures seeming to be wearing zeltbahns, which are tent halves/ ponchos. They are all in various iterations of the standard para knochensäcke (bonesack) smocks.

Yes, you're right, of course. Should have referred to "Buntfarbenmuster", but Zeltbahn is used so often (albeit erroneously) to refer to the camouflage cloth... must have caught it somewhere. :)

top job  ;)
Dans les situations critiques, quand on parle avec un calibre bien en pogne, personne ne conteste plus. Y'a des statistiques là-dessus.
