Painting whites

Added white highlights to the machine-gunner. May need to "lighten" the deep shadow tones. After failing to find a decent ammo-box replacement, I finally succumbed and purchased the Griffon MG-34/42 ammo belt and boxes from Ebay.  I will probably spend the week fiddling with it.

The white highlights on the machine gunner is more apparent when placed next to the MG assistant.

Work in progress: Stalingrad'42 Machine Gun Team vignette

Only able to put in a couple of hours into this little project. 

"Brightened" the base by repainting the bricks with a random mix of orange to reddishbrown paint.

I also gave the white bedsheets(?) worn by the soldiers a coat of light gray. This should give them a decent mid-tone to work with.

Deep shadows were made up of successive glazes of dark gray.
