Welcome to the dark side...

I met up with my friend Kenneth over the weekend. Now he is truly from the dark side. These are the people who choose to model in 1/35 (not 1/32), paint with acrylics (not oils) and are very hip on what's available on the internet (not old school). What's more, they like to model panzer troops....

But there's still hope for Kenneth. He chooses to focus on the DAK (Deutsch Arfika Korps) (dark, get it?). They wear brighter beige uniforms, have natty sun helmets and are always tanning themselves. His bent is on representing the quieter aspects of warfare, off-duty, leave, leisure. His vignettes are characterised by creative use of story-telling, and he likes to employ animals in many of his pieces.

I persuaded him to let me take some pics of his unpainted works just to highlight the complexity of his pieces.

The load in the sidecar seat are a  bunch of bananas. I've just noticed the teddy bear....
