One of the best, if not the BEST SLC Maiale I have seen in 1/35 scale!!
Congratulations Grzegorz
I am looking forward for your own Maiale
Cheers,
Rui

Ahoy there!

Thanks for putting this feature together Mark!

Thanks for the kudos Kelly and Rui, greatly appreciated!
Recently I was wondering how my own Maiale could be different from the previous one and I got: 1 warhead version (but not necesairly, though the proportions are better), a bit different colours (maybe more gray, faded look) but then I saw this: http://www.perthmilitarymodelling.com/newkitnews/umodels.htm , so maybe the commandant and one or two dresing guys will really set my maiale off

Cheers

My pleasure, Greg!


My thoughts echo Skip's, my friend, and about the UM figgies, well, they would make for a most interesting addition to your personal vignette...quite a few possibilities come to mind!

Cheers,

Well well, anything Grzegorz puts out is certainly worth a look in my book, since that fantastic scratchbuilt barge from 6 months ago, and really, don't you like it when the world of the panzer meets the one of the boat? that's a very, very nice work, pictures and article we've got here and congratulations again, I will wait for your next work.

My friends Skip n'Gunny, I just don't agree with you on UM models quality. I live very close to Italy, know quite a few Italians and I can *swear* you that no Italian has got wrists the same diameter as the neck, nor have arms that look like telegraphic poles and those faces as well.

That is a good point, Jean-Bernard, the way that I look at it though, putting in context the current choices that we in the ship-building genre have, UM's stuff stands out in the overall originality at most, and I can overlook the fact that you have just stated, my friend...I do agree with you though!

Thank you very much Jean-Bernard!

I'm not so sure about the UM models commandant, he looks quite ok, but you are right about the operators figures, although they still look usable?

Cheers

Well, IMHO the poses are great - and if you don't like the faces you can always change them, or preform surgery with some Royal Models italian figures - just a thought!

I agree Rui, and I think I'll just have to order one or two of those and we'll see how usable are they
