German Military Car Typ 170 V Tourenwagen - Master Box - by CDW - 1:35 Scale


Recommended Posts

Craig, is the driver and wheel glued in?  Or is the wheel just "fixed" in place for fit?   I'm hoping he can come out for painting.   On the human scale, that driver had a tight area to do his work.

It’s just a dry fit. Makes no sense to paint unless you know it fits, first. I wasn’t sure it the arms and Hans would be in the proper position to hold the steering wheel.

Looking good Craig  - Isn't that just the norm with  aircraft/vehicles  getting figures to fit properly?   same with a lot of  replacement pilot figures  for aircraft kits where they are too scale tall  and the  canopy wont close after they are fitted to the bang seat.

Test fit, test fit, and test fit again. 
Had to remove both inner door latch handles in order to get the doors to close. It”s a tight fit for two men in the front seat!

I think that was the norm on late 30s early 40s cars! I mean even the sixties Mini was a tight fit😁

Same issues in model railroad passenger cars. Floors are too thick, so the seated folk are double amputees just below the knees.  They bring the cars to life, but our modeling materials are nowhere near scale thinness to permit using full figures. If you can work them in, the model will pop.

Using Vallejo acrylic paints, started by spraying on black primer. The first face and flesh color applied by brush is brown sand. This will be followed by many multiple thin coats of various flesh shades to achieve a desired outcome. For this exercise, I made a “wet palette” to keep the paint thin and wet. Vallejo and others subscribe to many thin coat applications to prevent any ‘clumpiness’ in the finished paint.

Thats good progress  Craig,   with the paints  as thin as you can is key, and as you say  build the shades up in thin layers,  a wash  to shadow the eyes and recess details also helps.

Must have been a rather rotund individual to require 2 axles and 4 tires to carry all the weight. 😊😇

As a side note, the scar on the characters face, was real. The actor got when he was beaten by the guards in a Concentration Camp!

I’m as slow as the seven year itch painting these figures, but having fun while entertaining myself doing it. Something new. Only worked on the upper bodies so far. Still need pin stripes on the collars and little details like that. Got two passengers for the back seat, one is a Fraulein. 😁

Don’t worry moderators, it won’t even be PG-13. All clean stuff.

Yes, Leon Askin...

 

He was an Austrian Untermenschen, an actor and political activist who emigrated to the US in '40....

 

A little more info on this point....

 

Most of the characters on Hogan's Hero's were Jewish Including Werner Klemperer... In fact, Werner was asked by his Jewish friends why he was representing a nazi officer on TV, his response?

 

"Who else but a Jew could do it"

 

He did have misgivings over the role of Col. Klink though, (initially rejecting it) One of the agreements he made to accept the role was that whatever scheme was being represented in the episode, that Col. Hogan ALWAYS won in the end... Werner Klemper was an Untermenschen, a German Jew, Emigrating with his family to the US in '33, one of the few German Jews that didn't hide his religion during the war, (served in the US Army as a naturalized citizen) and suffered immensely for it...

 

Howard Caine, (Gestapo Major Wolfgang Hochstetter, who always wore an SS uniform) was an American Jew also.....

 

Most people don't realize this and the producers directly took action to quash it....

Figures are coming on fine  mate,    shading is always difficult to get right  and the bigger the scale  - the more difficult.

Thanks EG. Let me encourage you to give it a try if you haven't. It's rather fun and relaxing. There are tons of tutorials on various (actually scads) methods for the painting. I do recommend making or buying a cheap wet palette for keeping your acrylic paint wet. A drop or two will last days or even weeks on the wet palette, plus you want the paint somewhat watery to get the desired results with the acrylic paints.

Have you or anyone else ever seen the Artis Opus series D dry brush set? If not, you have to go up on Youtube and look it up. What can be done with dry brushing acrylic paints with their brushes is nothing short of amazing, and I do not say this lightly.

I love dry brushing  - it so makes a difference - my new "go to" dry brush product is AK's   acrylic  dust   - can be splattered on / wet brushed  or dry brushed.

Just in case anyone is interested...

 

Sgt Schultz, John Banner, was an Austrian Jew as well, an actor, he was performing in Switzerland when Germany annexed Austria, (the Anschluss) he emigrated to the US at that point eventually joining the USAAF in WWII...

 

Corporal Le Beau, Robert Clary, was a French Jew who was taken to Ottmuth (a German workers concentration camp) in '42... Eventually he wound up in Buchenwald, a death camp... 12 other members of his family were sent to Auschwitz, he was the only survivor.....

He was liberated from Buchenwald in April '45 he survived by entertaining the camps SS officers as an actor and singer...

 

When he got back to France after his liberation, he found that only 3 of his 13 siblings survived the Nazi occupation of France.....

 

It took a lot of courage for that cast and crew to make that show....

My pleasure, here's a more detailed link for anyone's interest in such rabbit holes....

Thanks Craig

that is fascinating stuff. Some very useful techniques. It seems it would work well on AFVs too. Their brushes look nice but pricy. Your figures are developing very well. With OC too there is some real master class work to learn from.
