The War Service of Sherlock Holmes

I couldn't quite work out how to achieve what I wanted with the Arachnid, so I've put him to one side, and have been doing a spot of work on - can you guess? - a Sherlock Holmes and some WWI chaps: three British cavalrymen (dismounted) and a half-dozen German infantry. I'm not totally happy with the Feldgrau or Holmes' coat, and I need to finish the bases and touch up the German officer's Papieren, but aside from those niggles, these chaps are about ready for varnishing. Enjoy!
