Drew (CAD), 3D Printed and painted a Baseball bat and made a LIFE Magazine (with pages) it's the March 1945 edition. The Greyhound I'm making that they're to go in/on was part of 106th Cavalry Recon Group that liberated my Grandads POW Camp (Stalag IX-B) in April 45

Made a tiny life magazine for the craic.

Red Five Scale Models @redfivemodels.bsky.social · 22/07/2026

It's based on a vehicle from early April 45 so found a magazine that would be pretty relevant

Red Five Scale Models @redfivemodels.bsky.social · 22/07/2026

Life Magazine.March 26th 1945. 1/16 scale.

He fucking dived for one of their goals. Just go look at some of the footage. Mate it's so blatant.

Red Five Scale Models @redfivemodels.bsky.social · 15/07/2026

As much as I hate to say it, but because I can't be arsed trawling through loads of videos. Do your own research 😂😂 but Egypt aren't happy, UEFA are having a go at FIFA too

120

Red Five Scale Models @redfivemodels.bsky.social · 15/07/2026

I mean the FBI are investigating FIFA and the Argentinian FA for money laundering for a start.

Red Five Scale Models @redfivemodels.bsky.social · 15/07/2026

Have a look at some of the clips mate.

000

Red Five Scale Models @redfivemodels.bsky.social · 15/07/2026

That's the point they haven't had one when they've blatantly deserved them

Red Five Scale Models @redfivemodels.bsky.social · 15/07/2026

FIFA are corrupt as fuck. Messi has gotten away with countless red cards in this tournament alone. It's the protect Messi and get him to win the world cup. He's the fifia poster boy and puts bums on seats and more money to infantino

200

Red Five Scale Models @redfivemodels.bsky.social · 15/07/2026

Yep, I think we've drawn alot of support pure because of hatred of the corruption

020

Red Five Scale Models @redfivemodels.bsky.social · 15/07/2026

England because Messi is an entitled cheating bastard.

Red Five Scale Models @redfivemodels.bsky.social · 15/07/2026

Sorry don't want to offend ex royal navy officers.

Red Five Scale Models @redfivemodels.bsky.social · 15/07/2026

They're designed to appeal to a mainly British WW2 festival audience the majority of whom know it's intention. It's certainly not racist. Its not directed at modern day Italians and in the whole current WW2 dress scene when people literally cosplay as full fucking NAZIS it's really, really tame.

000

Red Five Scale Models @redfivemodels.bsky.social · 15/07/2026

Jesus Christ its based on an event that happend 80 years ago and is a pisstake against actual facists like? How in god's name is it racist? It's akin to saying the french surrender all the time or the Germans hog the sunbeds. It's like saying all Geordies mine coal and have whippets.

200

Red Five Scale Models @redfivemodels.bsky.social · 15/07/2026

It won't unless you spray a tonne all at once in that specific area. But if you're concerned use a bit liquid masks to go around the edges of the mask on any clear parts with a toothpick

Red Five Scale Models @redfivemodels.bsky.social · 15/07/2026

Literally tonnes of comedians make their careers off this kind of humour. JFC there's historical accuracy and their just being the fucking fun police mate.

100

Red Five Scale Models @redfivemodels.bsky.social · 15/07/2026

You're not taking the piss out of me though. But as a Geordie people take the piss out of me in a very stereotypical "alreet pet" way and I don't get offened. You're upset because of a light hearted jab at the Italian army 80 years ago based on a comment by their actual allies.

100

Red Five Scale Models @redfivemodels.bsky.social · 15/07/2026

Or do we now have to give Fascists the benefit of the doubt now and actually start to "praise" their military endeavours so we don't make people confused? I've done others taking the piss out of the Germans, should I not do that either? You understand the British gallows humour right?🤔

000

Red Five Scale Models @redfivemodels.bsky.social · 15/07/2026

From a British fighting against actual facists yes.

100

Red Five Scale Models @redfivemodels.bsky.social · 15/07/2026

But also, there has been much piss taking of the British early war experience over generations. See Dad's army for a start.

100

Red Five Scale Models @redfivemodels.bsky.social · 15/07/2026

Most comedians rely heavily on tropes and stereotypes. Poking fun at people's perceptions of things. If we sanitised every aspect it would be a pretty dull place. Obviously there's no place for racism etc but this is intended as light hearted fun.

210

Red Five Scale Models @redfivemodels.bsky.social · 15/07/2026

But you can say that about literally a whole host of things? The point in satire is to take the mick and poke fun at stereotypes and people's beliefs of a subject matter. (Within reason) And in this instance the Italian Army were hardly all conquering during WW2. It's a bit of fun.

200

Red Five Scale Models @redfivemodels.bsky.social · 15/07/2026

It's designed as a bit of humour and satire not a dissertation of the performance of the Italian army 1938-1943.
