i really like them cheng! although i believe the afrika korps actually wore sand coloured uniforms, i just say this as an historical sidenote! i think ur version is great!  ;)
Well, the figures look great anyway, but Afrika Korps uniforms were indeed not grey, nor sand color either, except for those of the Luftwaffe and other special bodies... They were dark olive color, rather dark green in the beginning. Still with sunlight and washings they faded to a sand color. As the war whent on the new issues were more brown, and more and more yellowish (english khaki) clothes (from the Luftwaffe, the Waffen SS, the italians or captured items were in use. 
Best regards.

I left my love a letter in the hollar of a tree.
I told her she would find me in the U.S. Cavalry.
