MG Machinegunner, Rudolf,
Posted by Bodge on Friday, March 21, 2008 12:12 PM

This is a very rare Dragon 1/6 figure made by Dragon. I have completely repainted and detailed this figure to represent ss shultz Rudolf from the battle of the bulge. I was disapionted when i eventually found this figure as it didnt look anything like him and he even had blue eyes and blonde hair,seeing as there is a picture of the guy in most books on the bulge and even footage of him and a picture of him on the models box Dragon would have to have had a blind person to paint him, it was like looking at atiger tank but it was supposed to be a Sherman. It beats me how they do some great stuff and then get something so wrongeMy 2 cents [2c] Hope you like.Andy.Whistling [:-^]

I'm not much of a figure painter and am just cruising the sight looking at others work, but I have to say that this is bloody marvelous! I just can't get over the realism and quality of the paint. Make a Toast [#toast]

Do you have any before pictures to show how much improvement you did?

Remember, if the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy.
