From GeorgeS - 1:32 German Afriks Korps

       Happy New Year to everyone!! Let's leave 2020 behind and keep only the knowledge we gain through all this adventure.  This next year must be the most creative and productive for all of us!

     An assortment of Airfix and Matchbox 1:32 figures of "Afrika Korps" issue. Classic sets from the 70s and 80s in my favourite scale of 54mm. No more comments needed for these famous figures and poses!

       No chamber of challenge for this post. Just some points..( 10 X 7 =70pts).

 




 

Cheer up everybody! This is 2021!!

Keep Up The Brushes!!

  7. Thank you all for your comments! We are all hiding an Airfix-Matchbox fan from our childhood! All these guys deserved a nice painting as a reward for hours of fantasy they gave us!!

  10. Wow, these take me back to where it all started for me. I was painting these before I even knew you could play games with figures that didn't involve mowing them down with a spring powered matchstick shooting cannon.
