my 1/72nd scale WW1 German Infantry

[Ursulescu]

Hi everyone!

Here's a few pictures of my WW1 German Infantry models from MPC.

I have owned these guys since 1985, but have never had the chance to finish painting them...until now.

I have 3 boxes of 48 troops for a combined total of 144 men. However, I lost 4 pieces in the 26 years of owning them, so there is 140 pieces left. the missing parts are the 2 machine gun crewmen, 1 maxim machine gun and one dead guy. Not too bad.


A German A7V tank patrols the village.

This is one of the many wooden tanks my Dad and I built in 1985 for this army.

We now know that the shape of this tank isn't accurate, but at the time, we only had a few front view pictures from some library books to go on. Now with the vast ammount of info on the webs, I realize that the front of the tank should look like the back of the tank.

Here's a quick stop-motin film I made of them at 3:00 AM.
