| The Peiper figure uses all 21c pieces. I hand made the deaths head for the hat and made a cast of the eagle from another 21c hat and placed it on the crest. The whole hat was repainted and I also painted the rank tabs on the collar. I achieved the "riding pants" look by placing some stuffing material on the insides of his pants. |
| The Eastern Front veteran or "foreign legion" SS trooper. The air cav pilot's face along with Borris's hat reminded me of photos I had seen. |
| The SS NCO helmet was made by stripping off the regular insignia and hand painting the others on. The rank insignia is also hand painted. |
| The DAK trooper was a German machine gunner figure that has originally had one of the "painted faces" and looked like a drowning victim. I found that paint stripper and a tooth brush would remove the paint and allow me to repaint as I saw fit. |

| Very nice looking German figures here all the way around Chris. I didn't see one that I wouldn't want to have in my own collection, but I think I'll have to go with that DAK soldier as my favorite here. You've done a great job on the weathering of his helmet and your repainted face is too cool. Special thanks for sending these in and sharing them with us. -- GL |
