Although I felt reckless when building a figure for my work, I enjoyed it very much. I made it from February 2008 to August 2008.
I want to make the tire again after making an eight-wheel armored vehicle. It is a large-size military passenger truck of the Axis army. I intend not only a driver like the art box, but more figures will be on this truck this time.

The lower side of the chassis is reproduced precisely.

The headlight cover was removed. I used the clear parts for a headlight. The headlight was slightly scratched as the real one.
I attached the jerrican belt with a plastic board sliced parts.
I switched the tire to the left for an active feeling.

Since it was a soldier transportation car, I decided to make the soldiers as many as possible. These are figures of Tamiya and Dragon, etc. There is the body with the epoxy putty and posing roughly decided to attach the hands and feet in the brass line. I aimed at the disorderly atmosphere with which clothes and headgear were mixed around 1944.
The body should have been used not only in twisted epoxy putty but made body size. I couldn’t take the body, hands, and feet balances well on the stage of posing adjustment.

Like the photo, I attached to the truck. This party’s morale is still vigorous though impoverishing, because of the continuous combat. They will still be able to fight, though the soldier’s face is tired.
I have finally painted the base color, though I have been leaving it for several months.

Ｉ painted the camouflage in red-brown spots in my favor though It differed from the example of painting in the manual.
I attached them to the vehicle again to get the rough pose. They are appealing for motivation. Some of the members look like a fool. It’s unusual for such guys… It is a scoundrel group.

I regret for a moment since I had made too much figure.

Group of 3 in a back seat with the yell. Since the wrinkle of clothes is unnatural, Ｉ will adjust it with my motor tool later, though I managed to dress the uniform with the epoxy putty.

Commander’s features are the nefarious villains.

The soldier with the helmet is a considerably severe face. I should have stuck with the hand and rifle since it does not look too heavy gun.

It is difficult to straighten the shape of the crash cap of the officer who is sitting ahead.

All are completed after the soldier sits on the side of the food. I forgot the hair attached.

Marking was the elite force Greater Germany Division. I thought this division was SS, but it’s one of a German army. It was a specialist group of the Eastern Front.

Steyr Type 1500A/01 is the main military passenger car of the German army in World War II. The capacity was eight people on a 1.5-ton car. As much as 100km per hour was possible on paving roads. The air-cooled engine was reliable and liked by the officers and soldiers.
The setting of this model is when a German army was gradually exposed to the offensive of the Soviet Union in 1944. The elite force like Greater Germany Division always had to support the long front line of the few forces, and they needed to fight in one place after another with full loading of arms.
This time, it’s the practice of scratch build figures. It will be necessary to study wrinkles of wearing, figure posing, and balance of arms and legs.
Please see my making page if you are interested in this process.
The heads were collected from various kits and resin heads; I chose almost serious faces.
It is a setting of the Greater Germany Division. There is a marking sideward of a lower right headlight.
The figure’s expression changes somewhat in the lighting effect of taking photos. Ｉ forgot the commander’s cigar in his mouth.
I added a cigar in the lower photograph.
I used the German soldier decal set of Tamiya for the shoulder strap and the collar badge. I noticed a decal in that set after I had already painted the marking with the brush, and after all, I did not use the sleeve emblem of the Greater Germany Division.
The mud doll No.1. has several medals on his chest. His machine gun and the grenades appeal to willingness.
A left officer is a leader in this vehicle. Driver concentrates considerably on driving.
A sub-machine gun and a knife are the items of appeal for the next battle.
One person is a soldier who calmly holds a machine gun.
The German field gray of the service uniform was in various color conditions depending on the production plant and the production time.
The quality is not so good, but I could complete all the figures anyway. Adjustment of these bodies posing with the vehicle is challenging. The infantry has much more equipment compared to the tank soldier.
It is an extra in the end. I made the commander hold the cigar in his mouth.
