About product

The driver of a German cross-country car in 1:35 scale

The figure is cast in a seated position matching the shape of the seat of a light cross-country car. Resin holds crisper folds of the uniform and more pronounced detail of the face and hands than can be achieved with a split injection mold. The figure is supplied unpainted and without a base, because its place is behind the wheel of a particular vehicle.

The vehicle the figure belongs to

The German light cross-country car was derived from the prewar people's car. It had an air-cooled flat engine at the rear, drove the rear wheels only and yet held up surprisingly well across country, because it was very light and had good ground clearance. It served as a liaison and command car on every front, from African sands to the Russian winter, and its angular sheet-metal body is one of the most easily recognized shapes of its time.

Painting a resin figure

First set the figure dry into the interior, because the position of the hands has to match the wheel and the feet the pedals, and level out any difference by sanding. Only then wash the casting and apply a primer. Build the uniform on muted contrast, as sharp transitions look unnatural at this scale. Leave the face until last and give it the most time, because it is the face that decides the impression of the whole scene.

Who the figure will serve

  • For dioramas with a light cross-country vehicle and a crew
  • For modelers who feel an empty vehicle lacks life
  • For builders of German equipment from the whole of the Second World War
  • As a counterpart to other seated and standing figures

FAQ

It is not. It is supplied as a bare casting meant for assembly and painting to your own idea.

The position is shaped for the seat of a light cross-country car. It can be set elsewhere, but as a rule after adjusting the legs.

Cut off the casting blocks, level the surfaces and wash the whole figure in lukewarm water with detergent. Only then the primer.

The assembly is easy, and painting the face is the demanding part. It pays to try the layering technique on another figure first.
