Sd.Kfz. 232 Scout Walker

[Pappa Midnight]

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:

[Grimm]

Very good !!!  :love:

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

[Pappa Midnight]

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.

damn nice stuff!
one day I hope to purchase some of these nazi-bots so my evil robots gang gets some heavy firepower ::
is this resin or metal set btw?

[Hammers]

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

[Neldoreth]

Very well executed!

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]

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
