MIAMI, FLORIDA
Antonio had some fun building Erwin Rommel’s deathly ride — a
heavily modified Hanomag halftrack frame with a Mercedes limou-
sine body. He built Monogram’s 1/24 scale “Rommel’s Rod” and
painted it with Tamiya acrylics. He then weathered the vehicle with
Masters Touch oil paints to place it squarely in the North African des-
ert, where Rommel and his capable driver prowl the sands. You can
almost hear that engine growl.

HATBORO, PENNSYLVANIA
Justin hosted a group model build with his Cub Scout group, Pack 17,
in Hatboro, Pa. He says they had an excellent turnout, even though
many of the scouts had never constructed a model before. They each
built Revell’s 1/72 scale SnapTite A-10 Warthog. In the wake of this
build, it was requested that the pack do more of these as regular
events. Justin says that the parents seemed to be just as excited as the
kids to get involved in modeling!▼ DOUGLAS CORP
CHARLES TOWN, WEST VIRGINIA
Douglas added head and taillights to Meng’s 1/35 scale British Husky
TSV. He painted it a Vallejo sandy color so it would blend in with his
desert base. Mig Productions pigments helped weather it just enough
to create a realistic finish.
