This is a resin figure I bought a long time ago. This time I made some German army figures.
I’ve been painting it halfway through since the end of last year, but even if I leave it on the shelf, it falls over and gets in the way when I take out other things, so I thought I’d paint it all the way through.
It’s a resin figure of Marshal Rommel. The scale of the figure of Andrea Miniature must have been 1/32. I can’t really tell the difference when I put it next to other 1/35 scale figures. As he is a marshal, the decorations of the rank badge and cap are gorgeous. It’s a marking that I don’t usually see. I couldn’t decide what color to use for various parts such as jacket and trousers. It was painted to look a little faded during the operation in North Africa.
Evolution Miniature German tank crew. Maybe it’s midsummer. He’s wearing a shirt. Pose looking into binoculars. The wrinkles on his shirt and pants are fine. In particular, the trousers look a little baggy, which makes him look like a tank crew. This is a very fine molded figure from a manufacturer. It is easy to paint but still difficult to brush small parts.
This is also an Evolution Miniature tank crew figure, in winter clothes. He’s wearing a sheepskin-like fur jacket. These are dapper winter camouflage pants.
The last one is an ordinary infantryman, a soldier equipped with an MP40. He wears a scarf around his neck. Since the submachine gun is hanging from the neck in a relaxed pose, a small firearm strap was added.
In Japan, a video of a McDonald’s store staff hurling abuse and intimidation has become a hot topic. The person who seems to be the manager is furious about the customer’s trivial complaint. I used to live in this city more than 30 years ago, and I miss this shop because I have been there many times. I feel sorry for the staff around him who follow up every time, even if it is a special employment position that is unique to the FC store. It looks like a developmental disorder or a mental illness. There’s something called a brain disorder that makes people rage easily, so they should recommend a hospital if they notice it. It doesn’t look like the level to be improved by anger management.

I am interested in models of tanks, airplanes, ships, military figures, I build them little by little when I feel like it. I am also interested in the history of war. My starting is Tamiya’s Military Miniature series in elementary school.
From elementary school through university students repeatedly suspend and restart my modeling, it’s about 25 years of this hobby’s history.
From February 2007 I was quietly doing a site called “Miniature-Arcadia”. It is being transferred to this blog with the same name from December 2016. My update pace is uneven, but please come to see me here occasionally.
