Sorry guys.  But i got Rommels boots squared away! Problem with that is both boots appear to be left foot. Ill sand a bit so it dont look so goofy!  By bbd468 at 2012-06-09 Thanks for looking fellas.

Moving right along Gary. Sorry to see Capt Hook get replaced but I suppose it was inevitable.  Interior shot with the radios and gear in place is sharp as well. |

Why worry, each of us is wearing an unlicensed nuclear accelerator on his back.

Lookin mighty good Gary! Was interested to see what you were going to do with the guy with the hook. But growing a new hand ain't such a bad thing!

Thanks a bunch fellas! The right hand was cut off an old Tamiya german with gloves on. I had to shave it down and sand the wrist and the back of the hand. The fingers mathed pretty close. Doesnt look as cool as THA HOOK! ;D Yeah. Rommel was a great Warrior but not a great Waltzer! ;D ;D Gary |

Looks like you have found the right hand. I looked thru my stash today and I found those but I don't think it will work.  Your figures look very good and ready to be painted! The vehicle looks just great too! |

Hey Andy, Hey man, i appreciate you lookin in your stash for a hand. I found one close enough. I put a first coat on Rommels face and thats really the first time i paid attention to it and the detail is pretty....ummm....rough. Looks like a 80 year old Rommel. ;D Ill make due. Thanks Andy Gary |

Hello Gentlemen, Ive made some progress on the Greif. I had a bad couple days but managed to get back on track with the 250/3. Rommel however, i had to strip the paint off. Ill star back on him later. I still need some more weathering and attention to Jerry cans, tow hooks, hitch and the like. Any and all suggestions and comments are welcome.

Starting to get that dusty desert feel to it Gary, very nice. Sorry to hear of the trouble with the Fox...but then you did insult his dancing ability so perhaps it's his way of getting back at you? I'm sure you'll "outfox" him in the end though.

Dicky - Thanks man! i really appreciate the kind words. I Love this hobby WAY more than my wallet does. I really cant afford aftermarket goodies very often so i have to throw what i can at it to spruce it up. Dont get me wrong, If i could id have a tall book shelf full of AM goodies and a 100 kits. But its all good. I dont mind roughing it. ;D Bill - Thanks alot man. The skin tone was turning out too light and i reminded myself that the FOX probably had a good tan. And i will not speak ill of him again! ;D ;D Aiden - I appreciate the nice comment my friend. |

Gary,
I think jackwagon summed it up the best. I really don't know what to add to his comments. This has been a blast watching this progress through it's stages. Great Job Brother from another mother.

I'm with jackwagon and John on this one Gary. She really has that dusty feel to her, and she doesn't look her age either. Outstanding job on the old gal.
