Thank you Erik Bob and Mike,..
Yes the strap is simply paper that I glued with superglue at one end and when I fix the right arm properly then I will pull the strap tight and then glue it.The strap is not accurate and is just an andyfication,..but saying that the Germans used what they had to hand by that stage of the war.
Firstly though I am either going to prime the figure or paint black all the bits that I wont be able to get to when the arm is on.
Im looking at the trouser bottoms now thinking whether the trousers are a bit "drainpipe" and maybe I should putty them at the bottom to give a bit more overhang where they meet the boots what do you guys reckon ?
Also choices now,... should I pain the trousers fieldgrey or go down the camo route I was thinking possibly Oakleaf spring as I quite enjoyed doing the helmet cover in that scheme for the "Well Done" GB
Thanks once again for the positive comments

Progress report
Nothing much on the figure but I have done a base for the chap
I wanted to do something different from the norm so I cut in half a 99cent base from Hobbylobby stuck some plastic card at the back as a wall then added some plastic card large stones and then made them shrapnel damaged
Cork for pavement and again plastic card then vallejo sandy paste, white glue,stones and stuff to make the rubble
The road is next which will be paving bricks.
Please enjoy

that's super looking! as for the camo - why not something new and you try out the "leibermuster"? this surely would be a challenge ( = i double dog dare you!)
Double dog has been laid down! 
Making it look easy Andy, go man.

Thank you Laura, Bob, Dusan, and Mike !
Wow a double dare to paint the Leibermuster would indeed be a challenge !
I shall see if I can come up with some Berlin reference pictures but I think the trousers were a lot baggier than what I have on the figure,and I dont want to add more work to the chap If I can help it
Time is running out :pp

Hey thanks Saul, Yes that`s pretty much what I found on the Camo still I do think the trousers are way baggier than my figure so I might have to wimp out on the Leibermuster and do that another time and just stick to the planned oakleaf for right now 
I bit of polishing up on the figure this evening and then I may bite the bullet and start painting the dude

awesome face (from what i can tell :pp )!
have you ever tried to enhance your photos with picasa? the white balance in your pics is off and can be corrected with this freeware program!
that being said now on to the helmet - to me the helmet looks like a ww1 stormtrooper helmet camo! excellent paintwork but that's what it looks like in my eyes!
