Hi gumsmith,

You have done a great job on them for a first time. well done! :thumbup:
If I may do a sugestion: those berets are way too reddish for red devils. I would give it a VMC gory red if you have it. Wine red is also good.

Hi mickey mouse,
i know the red of the barets should be more boreaux red, thanks for your hint. I have the Histoire Collections "D-Day Pratroopers The British The Canadians The French" an excellent source for this theme. I tried to filter the red with hull read but it didn`t comes out on the pics. And on some pics of original maroon barets it looks much more reddish than on others. So, as these are TT-troops it`s ok for me and i won`t rework them. But for the next ones i will take care of it.

@Kekso: Thanks a lot.

Super job on those, especially the faces. You are a very fine miniature painter. I was going to say the berets should be a tiny bit more on the reddish-purple side, but Mickey Mouse beat me to it. I also agree with BB that your bases are tops. Keep them coming please!
