That 1st pair in brown/orange/white immediately made me think Van Gogh!
Awesome painting.
Not to cast a negative comment, but maybe some "weathering" of the soldiers?
Dirt, a little shading on the uniform.
It's not meant to be a criticism, they're better than what I can do.
I weather figures depending on the moment and what they're doing. The smaller the scale people have a tendency to over weather them and it detracts from the details. The sniper team that's 1/35th scale. I don't want to overdo it. Now these two are 120 mm or 1/16th scale... obviously the time frame and conditions they are in deserves more when it comes to the harshness of the weathering.
My personal opinion is I think sometimes weathering on figures are way overdone. Much like weathering on objects like aircraft ships or Vehicles depending on the time frame and depending on what their environment is.
A fillet knife and skinner for @Ruger_Ronin
Oh man those would make some awesome accents in scales! That red and black is especially appealing!
The two Damascus blades I made I used pen blanks for the segments, the hard part is all the cutting I have to do to size them then trying to get them symmetrical so they will match up when I glue up the scales
Pen blanks are typically 3/4" square, unless they are round blanks.
This handle, should only require a single cut across the black piece at whatever angle you use (30*).
If everything is square and fits flush, the green pieces would only be cut to length.
To keep it symmetrical, build it as one block, then split it to make a book matched set.
That’s pretty much how I did it, just lots of tedious sanding and gluing to try and keep everything symmetrical and tight.
OK, these are the last three (unless by some miracle someone orders a bunch), so this is the end of the cast block pics.
The colors are off a bit without any sun.
The one that looks like a red color, is actually a bright pink.
The black/white one, is similar to the Opal block, in that the dominate color varies by viewing angle; like Abalone.
The other is a mix of blue and purple with some extras.
I have nine blocks to decide what to do with.

Make a knife
Thank you! It does work very well. I need to flatten the top side so I have a reference to keep it straight but that’s easy enough to fix
