After all the valuable criticism on LAF, the Sdean Forum and Sweetwater Forum, I worked a bit on the gentleman and am much happier with him now...
Things that were worked on.
1.Gaiters are now Chaki... Next one will get the Foundry Triad I've mentioned.
2. Gun was painted black, given a strong grey highlight and then washed with black to tone down.
3. Face was given another highlight. I am still missing the depth a bit, as I probably washed over the darkest, base colour the first time around, when I was trying to bled the layers together. Still, it looks better than before.
4. Denison buttons were toned down.
5. Base was given a darker edge. I think it works better now.
6. Bushes were drybrushed with a variety of colours to make the base more interesting.

Now, I know where I am going with the next miniatures. :)

PS: I was told that the knitted cuffs should be darker, but I wouldn't dare change them. This one will remain like that, but I am sure that no one will notice. :)

They look great and I really like how you did the metal on the machine guns.I've been thinking of doing the same when I tackle my Artizan Fallschirmjäger's.

Cheers

Thank you, Christopher. :) The gun is just painted in Foundry's Slate Grey and highlighted once before it was washed with some black.
