Captain Blood's Western Desert: P.125 - SdKfz10 half-track with 2cm Flak 30

[Captain Blood]

Thank you all
Sorry about the alternative world, lou

Napoleonic British lights? Ooof. Jeff, I feel your pain...

[levied troop]

Well despite the initial travails, they’ve turned out beautifully

  Beautifully painted Richard! Having only recently had the pleasure to paint some Perry metal Italians I feel your pain only too well. Despite all that you‘ve hit the ball out of the park with these. Really like how the skin tone works with the uniform and the fezzes. The leather stripes around the bread bags really add to the overall impression.

[Captain Blood]

Thank you both 

[Ultravanillasmurf]

Nice painting.

I've got a boxful of the things myself (don't ask)

Clara: Someday you could just walk past a fez.

Eleventh Doctor: Never gonna happen.

Does that explain where he gets the time?

[Munindk]

Rule of cool beats historical accuracy every time, especially when it comes to fez's.

[Plynkes]

Indeed, but surely you have to rein it in somewhere, lest you end up with your Tirailleurs riding T-Rexes that shoot lasers out of their eyes. 

[Dr. Zombie]

There is no getting around the rule of cool. That is why it is a rule in the first place.
 
But I think it should be possible to find some middle ground between inaccurate breadbags and T-Rexes with laser eyes..

I think you don't know some of our fellow hobbyists very well...

[Dr. Zombie]

Hmm you are right.

But in theory at least is should be possible...

[Keith]

Top hole Sir! They've come out very nicely.
So to be clear these 'should' mostly be in the green uniform? (asking for a friend ;-) )
Agreed on the quality comments though - I've been holding off tackling these for a while after my last batch of French.

[Munindk]

I think there's a lot of middle ground between a piece of dress uniform on troops the field and those troops riding extinct reptiles, and the good Captain has found a nice spot very close to actual history.

If T-Rex's appear its still fine, just maybe move the thread to the Weird wars section

Thank you 
I agree. I like things that look broadly right and also look the part, even if they're not technically exactly correct.
I apply the same rule of thumb to my dinosaurs

I love them, great work. 99,9% of your work is brilliant, only the 0,00000001% - the missing italians.  Honestly nearly 90% of wargamers wouldn't realize, that the fez is in red. All the pictures from the time are in black and white. Sometimes I wait for some painters doing all their stuff in black and white....

[lou passejaire]

the red  Fez guys are guys who  have lost their sand colored fez cover ... it's not an alternative world, it's just careless mistake ... 
and the officers can't say a word , they wear non-regulation "uniforms"
