Afrika Korp officer

[razor]

This was the first 1/35 figure I bought, and while I've undercoated it several times I got no further. So while other things are drying I thought I'd have another go.
Alpines terrific DAK panzer officer, I replaced the head with one from Hornet with a Dragon Pith helmet for that jaunty look, and his left hand for one that could hold a map.

Hi razor ......this is a fine new project for you.....you are very prolific with new figures....congratulations!!!
I like so much this Alpine figure also if is a bit thin.....,but remain one of the best dak on market!!!
He will be a stand alone fogure or you ll put same other dak near him???? Have you seen Rommel of Scale75....i like so much his poses, and could be interesting if trasformed in simply officer....!!!!

Ps: from which Dragon kit you take this pith helmet????
Thanks a lot and congratulations.

A big thanks for the kind words and encouragement.
Done for now.


PS. Fun fact, the small stones on the base are crushed bits of the rock of Gibraltar.
