Rare Giant? Civilian figures 1/72 scale unknown

I have found these soldiers, very much in style with Atlantic cowboys. One of them is a woman with a submachine gun! I remember having this figure in 1/35. Most of them seem modern robbers, thieves, a very interesting subject! among the mix, are some of GIANTs american soldiers, and what I think is a copy of a german officer saluting/waving/ordering, as I have a 1/32 which is identical to him.

Somebody copied somebody, and then recopied and relabelled.
 
Any info about them would be greatly appreciated!

Imam Ro 63 look-a-like 1/32 Model Kit conversion Dornier do 27

 This is quite a curious piece of conversion :) . I bought a Dornier do 27 Revell, in 1/32, dead cheap on eBay (8 GBP maybe? ridiculously cheap), and, due to my tremendous dislike of anything post 1945, which at that time was still fervent in me, I looked how to convert it into something suitably worldwartwoesque. I found that the Imam Ro 63 had it's certain similarities, and so I did that, transform slightly without too much work into it.

 

I added epoxy to the tail, painted over some parts of glass, and hand crafted decals so they looked right. At least is a nice what-if WW2 would have kept on and on.

 

Yes, sounds quite bonkers :lol: . But don't tell me it is unique! anyway, here are the pictures;

Marmon Herrington 1/32 Scratchbuilt armoured car british desert vehicle WW2 1/35

This is my scratchbuilt Marmon-Herrington. Made a very long time ago, I recently restored it. Not perfectly accurate, but it was fun. Absolutely everything is scratchbuilt, even wheels, guns, etc. Basically everything is clear plastic from packaging, etc. Wheels are casted in resin.

Before restoring my own build;

 


 

Arado Ar 168 1/32 Revell Sea Camouflage version WW2 scratchbuilt floats

 

I did post here a long time ago, regarding a kit I bought; in a good closing down sale, I managed to buy a very cheap 1/32 Arado Ar 168, and decided to keep it and give it as a present to my father. Unfortunately, when he was going to start building it, parts were missing! the quality control at revell had not noticed about 3-4 sprues missing! never something like that had happened to me, after buying thousands of kits.


It was lacking canopy, bombs, engine doors, and most important, the floats. By this time the shop had already packed and closed down, so no claim there. (all the same, the very nice chap that bought the shop, gave me a free model in compensation, even if it was not his fault!). I contacted Revell, but was told that only they could send the canopy, as the Arado ar 168 was no longer in production, only the single float version.


So, after browsing all the possibilities, I decided to scratchbuild with paper and cardboard the floats, after printing them from a paper model and adjusting them. My father built all the plane, and me and my brother built the floats and created the engine covers, plus giving a few extra finishes to the paintwork.


The pilots came in a lot of soldiers, I believe from some very old model, but they fit wonderfully.

 

Curiously, it is a floatplane, but better it doesn't get anywhere near water with his paper floats!
