I've just finished painting a Sd.Kfz. 232 Scout Walker for alternative WW2 games.(I copied the idea from Agis' excellent Halftrack conversion.)

The model is a 1:72 scale 232 and a GW Sentinel with a few spares from my bits box.
All I need to do now is a pilot!

Sa-weet! Very nice, and I really like the slightly exaggerated weathering. :love:

Very good !!! :love:

What do you use for the Head a 1/72 Modell ?

Thanks guys

I like my vehicles dirty and battered!!!!!

Grimm, I'm looking for a suitable 28mm pilot. I should have mentioned the scale.
I 'm either going to use a late Panzer Crewman or possibly convert a normal mini using West Wind's separate head system.

Bolt Action Miniatures have a very nice late war Panzerman half figure grasping a pair of field glasses; superb figure, which I´ve used for various projects, including my SdKgz1:

For a closer look, my Panzer III:

And, if necessary (although I shudder at the very thought!) you could easily snip off the head and put a SHS one on the body.

That dangling MG42 there makes the whole model. It looka great!

I am not usually a fan of this style of walker, but I must admit that I am impressed. Love the pintle mounted MG42. Excellent paint job too. Great stuff!

Very nice PM but there are no zeds there...!

Pappa Midnight · « **Reply #10 on:** August 15, 2007, 05:30:11 PM »

Thanks again for the comments!

Westfalia Chris: I'll be contacting "Bolt Action" shortly, thanks for that. BTW love you Panzer Mech!

Auton, you've just kick started an idea. I was thinking about doing a "Haunted Tank". I'm sure I've seen some WW2 ghosts somewhere.
I nice "smashed up" Panzer iii and some ghosts..........Hmmmm

For an alternative crew figure what about these near future crew figures from Old Crow?
