You need to sandbag that grill shelf! That .50 is too exposed up there!!!

And considering all the action he's seen . . . he's changing out a barrel . . . probably a good point.

Carlos grows a beard and grabs some cover:

Carlos gets a second growth of beard, eyebrows, and the beginning of eyes. Helmut gets his first growth of beard, and all the rest. I have now run out of white paint completely and so progress grinds to a halt until I can get more. :(

They look kinda creepy with white eyes. Kinda got the whole zombie combat gnome thing going on. Whats the plan with the beards? Keeping them white?

Yes, they are creepy. I think Carlos looks especially maniacal.

Not sure about the beards. Traditionally gnomes have white beards, so I was originally going to keep them white and do a wash and drybrush some gray in there . . . but as there is nothing traditonal about these particular gnomes I might do a different color. Decisions, decisions . . .

Look up some warcraft gnomes for inspiration.

Still haven't completely decided on the beards but added eyes and some wash to the faces. I was trying for the wide-eyed psychotic thing on Carlos. I think I've acheived the effect I was trying for.

Yep, you did!

haaaaa, i gotta get me some of those!!

Looking good there my friend! I'm pretty sure that Carlos served with the Condor Legions Gnome Abteilung in Spain in 1937...
