I think troffa's pulling plonker mate! I must admit a figurine of AH, albeit in 54mm scale, would not be high on my list of 'must have's', although I suppose it might go with any 1/32-35 armour or car models of the period, or a diorama. Sorry, can't help with the painting either! peebeep |

sorry but I don't do figures, but if I did do them I would be happy to do Hitler for you. <start rant> This is not aimed any anyone just a view on the subject matter I can't see why doing an Adolf Hitler should be a cause for concern, is it not a bit hypocritical when modelling Nazi soldiers and Nazi symbols is part and parcel of WW2 military modelling and I doubt there would be any such qualms about modelling other, equally evil, historic figures such as Stalin or Saddam. I find it amusing that some concerns are being raised about modelling Hitler as maybe somehow insensitive... yet mention the remaking of the classic Dam-buster movie were they intend to change the name of guy Gibson's dog 'nigger' and I predict an avalanche of complaints suggesting that not only was the dogs name a historic fact but that it was also the code name of one of the dams, so it should be acceptable... well by the same token Hitler existed and is a historical fact of WW2 and as such should be a suitable subject to be modelled... It should not cause any concern unless it was to be used in some way to praise or glorify the man <rant over>

That is a very fair point Séan. I guess some of us draw a sub-conscious line in the sand which we wouldn't cross. As I said above, in a historical context say a diorama or vignette, I would feel OK about it, but a figurine or bust would leave me with the same feeling as troffa. I couldn't imagine that Airfix would have ever considered Adolf Hitler or Josef Stalin as candidates in their 1/12 figure series! But you're right, such thinking is somewhat irrational really. I remember a couple of years ago somebody posted on ARC pictures of a vignette that portrayed an SS execution, complete with a shooting and bodies laying in a pit. I found it an enormously powerful piece of modelling - some might call it art - but it polarised views about 50-50, some being outraged whilst others felt it was a legitimate piece of work that people should view. peebeep |

Interesting, I've seen many diorama involving dead soldiers but not many with dead civilians and none in the act of being shot... I can see how it would be borderline macabre. Forbidden Planet a few years ago had a Action Man type figure with accessories of Adolf Hitler, I often wondered why someone would want such a thing... but I could see many reasons for having a 54mm figure, I mean some of the more skilled modellers could convert it to standing pose with his pants around his ankles or such.... |

Well,if you,guys MUST know,i had in mind something rather CONTROVERSIAL, involving Hitler and a DALEK !! <_< The Vignette would have been titled,"Who inspired Who ??" Terry Nation,(the creator,of the Daleks),actually quoted;- "i based the idea,of the Daleks,on the SS,& the Nazis" !! Or is that TOO controversial an idea ?? (&,no i do NOT,in any way condone the Nazi atrocities...) Cheers,Bazza. |

That would've been a good essay for my son Andy when he was doing his media degree. I don't think it's an inappropriate subject for a model vignette in the least. peebeep |
