Title: 'The Desert Fox' ... Hollywood style
Post by: Cubs on May 31, 2016, 06:09:30 PM

Here we have the latest offering from Wargames Illustrated's 'Giants in Miniature' range, it's James Mason as 'The Desert Fox' himself, complete with sinister black leather trench coat (and possibly skimpy lingerie, I can neither confirm nor deny this).

Fantabulous painting (love that scarf), but I have to admit I prefer the Artizan Rommel for sculpt. This one looks like he's doing his best evil wizard overlord impression out of a Japanese video game (I suppose that's more Hollywood's fault than Warlord's ;) ).

The 'Giants in Miniature' range is very much tongue in cheek Hollywood fun stuff. Historical accuracy need not apply.
