Italian Officer North Africa

Thanks for looking.
My last bash for this year.
I picked this up from Soverign 2k at IPMS last year, sadly he and fellows don't seem to have gone on general release yet. I've swapped his head as I wasn't keen on the heavily mustached original and the hands due to being a bit heavy handed with the original.


A happy new year to all.

Nice one, look forward to seeing this painted.

Happy New Year

Happy New Year to you too, Paul.
Following with interest as you don't see too many figures of the Italian Army in WW2 - only company I can think of that produce quite a few is Model Victoria.

Hi Nap.
Skin is a mix of German camo Brown, Sand brown, Salmon rose with washes of Scarlet and Purple.
Uniform is standard khaki for the shorts and a mix of Green Brown, Desert Yellow, Dark Sand and English uniform for the Jacket.
The signs are from Model Victoria and Scale75.
No updates at the moment as his head is having a little swim in paint stripper.
