I have the same one. I am torn whether to make him Soviet or German.

If German I will paint the trousers grey and put white crosses on the fists,
if Soviet kakhi trousers and red stars. Decisions, decisions...

funny, i never thought about him being russian...

crosses and stars on the fists are a bit to obvious IMHO, how about if he's a russian, brown boots, khaki johdpurs, red fingers/olive(tank)green on the fists and a hammer and sickle tattoo on one shoulder?

oooh... wanna do one now! :love:

I really like your painting style, especially on the skin, fits very well to the miniature

Awesome! Are you going to use it with 1:72nd scale figures? Then, indeed, it´s a Titan amongst men...

Blitz und Donner, indeed! :D

I was thinking about using him what a half squad tactical late war unit of either Germans or Soviets. An experimental unit with an officer, two handlers with prods, a radio controller (a radio guy really with a big red button on the control unit for destruction in case the titan runs havoc among friendlies).

An obvious piece of scenery to go with this would be a banged up tank with big punch marks and bent cannon.

If you don't want to go for the obvious Russian or German paintjob, why not go for Japanese markings ?
Alternately, what national markings would apply in Transylvania ?
Gary, Glynis, and Alasdair (there are three of us, but we are too mean to have more than one login)

Not a bad idea. I do however think a secret weapon like this would need a pretty obvious identifier lest  troops on any side blow him to kingdom come in sheer panic.

Can we get a scale photo w/ a regular human 28mm model? I'm dying to get these Rampagers for my collection. Next to a Demonic from 1999 would be nice too! :mrgreen:
