New Afrika Korps Figures (1 Viewer)

[Panzer]

Okay, they're new to me! Converted a couple of my older K&C figures to Afrika Korps. Also scratch built the diaroma base. Critique?

Sorry! Web Attachment Manager limited the size of image I could post here. Smaller image size reduces detail significantly. In larger images you can actually see the jerrycan's reflection off the brackish water. Send me a private message with email if you want to view a larger image.

Dear Panzer,

Really well done! Reminds me of what Andy used to do to make extra money back in the '80's and early '90's. He would often repaint a casting to make a new figure to sell. I have photographs of a North African desert diorama Andy did (he and Gordon often scratch build diorama bases, I have about 12 in my collection) where he repainted an RAF ground crew as a Long Range Desert Group mechanics crew. The only difference being that when Andy does it, it becomes a rare one of a kind collectors item, but when we do it, it lowers the value of our figures. Anyway, terrific job!

Regards,

Louis

Panzer,

Excellent work! I am very impressed with your vignette. I only wish I had your modeling skills!

Warm regards,

Pat

These modified engineers are cool. You can create bigger and more unique dioramas this way.
