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

Works well but I think he's probably a little more muscular than the norm

Richard, you have hear of Oberst Manfred Pfirsich Marie Rommel, the younger brother of Erwin Romel?

Great conversion Richard 

[Munindk]

Very clever idea and brilliant modelling as usual.

The idea of using a Zulu parts to build a WWII german soldier is sort of... poetic?

Also, where's your 50+ page colonial kitbashing thread?

Lovely, seamless conversion work.

Well, Willi obviously needs a 'Desert Peach' cravat then...

For a Zulu or a German?
That’s why he’s a gay icon

That is hilarious. I have to make one

It’s early days on the plastic Zulu front. I couldn’t get on with the Perry plastic colonial British. But the plastic Zulus are a delight.
And so much kitbashing potential.
I’m going to do a couple of topless Wars of the Roses types next. Not for Towton, obviously, but hey, Bosworth was fought in the middle of August...

that is a really cool idea

[Volleyfire!]

Great idea for making gun crews for the DAK, especially as the Perry ones are all fully clothed, but their 8th Army crews, in contrast, are all stripped for action. Either the Brits worked harder, or we were short of shirts.

A very creative kit-bashing going on there.  Thank you for the inspiration...as always!

Not sure what the issue with this fig was, there are plenty of bare-chested men in pictures from North Africa - no innuendo necessary, it's hot! I wouldn't want to run around in a long-sleeved tunic in 110 degree weather all the time! Certainly an effective conversion.

Here are some shots of the Vichy FT17 tank and figures from my LPL13 r2 entry. The tank is the Warlord Games model. Decals from Rubicon. The infantry are Perry.

[Romark]

Lovely pj on those but that tank is stunning 

[Andrew_McGuire]

The tank is certainly beautifully painted, but I suspect that in reality the gorgeous colour scheme would be largely obscured by sand dust, much to the crew's frustration, no doubt. Even US olive drab became virtually invisible under the ever present coating of Tunisian sand, and I doubt that the Syrian climate was any kinder to more sophisticated camouflage schemes.

That is cracking stuff
