discussion Rommels half track Sd Kfz 250/3 1/32 scale

[Alan 45]

Finally finished the dio the kit is great to build with only minor flash and seem lines to file

Sad thing is the figures are pretty naff the guy with the field glasses is ok until you see the back of his head and realise he has no ears and Rommel well you just have to look at him to see the problems there

Great build, the board and the half-track look superb, the bargain basement chipping has worked a treat. As for the figures...er...yeah...maybe they're supposed to be inflatable decoys?

Very nice diorama, I always like the desert or sand ones

Lovely and "strange" figures

Polux

 

[Alan 45]

Thanks guys I appreciate the kind words

I've worked out why they look so odd their cartoon representations of them

Rommel looks weird lol,the DIO is ace though worthy of 5*s in my eyes.weathering is really nice

 

[Alan 45]

You have a point there mate , if I'm shown an actual photo of Rommel I know who he is but when I think of Rommel I see James mason , wierd that

Just seen this one Alan a great little diorama nice weathering and chipping on the Half track The figures look good also just not who its meant to be pity

 

[Alan 45]

Cheers papa the Rommel figure is a let down but it's the half track that's the star I'm really pleased with the way that turned out

Thanks again mate

That looks the part. Nicely done. It's a shame about the figures but they still don't look too bad.

 

[Alan 45]

Cheers Andy I appreciate it

Hi Alan,

well this came out great looking really sharp. Love the weathering the track looks good to.

As for the figurines, painted great but Rommel is reminding me of a propaganda poster where Hitler is putting some air in a inflatable Mussolini.

5 stars from me on the build and finish.

Cheers Richi

Cheers Richie gals you like it , I think this is an old kit maybe from a time when there was still a bit of resentment left over from the war , if you look at the figure next to him he's not that bad really apart from no ears but Rommel looks a bit cartoony sort of thing you would see on a propaganda poster
