Rommel's revenge

[evilone]

So what do you get when you mix to much watching pirates of the caribbean, a love of all things WW2, and too much time in dr. cranky's office for you monthly rust exame?

Thats right a really cool idea of a messed up WW2 vehicle bursting out the sand of a diorama like the flying dutchman with a really cool story to go with it lol.

the story:

Back in WW2 field commander rommel tried to assassinate hitler. But his plans fell and rather then being tried and later killer by hitler he decided to take his own life. As a result he went to hell and had to face the devil's rath for attempting to kill his minion and for taking his own life. The devil sentenced rommel andhis favorite driver (the one who help rommel try to kill hitler) to a eternity of soul collecting. The devil brough rommel's staff car down to hell and retro fitted it to be unstoppable. Now everytime theres a war in a desert and there is death rommel will burst out of the sand to collect them and take them to the afterlife. There has been recent sightings of the damned rommel in iraq and afganistan. Soldiers that seen the field commander say that after the fire fight ends theres a odd silence. Then you hear a faint engine rumbeling and out of the sand the front of a WW2 type staff car bursts out. You hear the engine screaming and the demonic laughter of rommel himself. No matter how many times you shoot at the vehicle nor the caliper of rounds you use the vehicle wont stop. One tank gunner told me that they show the cannon of the A1 abrams tank right ath the radiator and as the smoke cleared the vehicle was still coming after them.

Heres the build:

the story:

So a buddy of mine called up today to shoot the breeze with me and i decided to ask him about the damned rommel. He told me that he has infact seen him once when he was in iraq. He was ambushed in a motorcade in the middle of the desert. They fought off the enemies and suffered many injuries and death. He said there was a silence and a flock of birds flew away as fast as they could. he had a bad feeling there was something worse out there other then the alqueda. Out of no where rommel and his staff car shot out of the sand and started towards them. His leading officer told the troops to open fire. My buddy who was a scout sniper grabbed his rifle and started shooting the radiator. once that failed to stop the vehicle he decided to take out the drive. After five shots he ran out of ammo and grabbed the barret .50cal and procceded to shoot the driver in the head.after three shots to the head rommel's driver didn't flinch. Now rommel was within twenty feet so the troops used the .50cal machine guns and mini guns attached to their hummvees but to no avail. Rommel stopped his vehicle infront of the troops and got out. He walked up to the dead with a urn type jar and harvested their souls. He got back in his staff car and let out a demonic laugh as his vehicle dove back into the sand never to be seen that day again.

so i got sometime on the staff car and the damned occupants in it as well

the damage from the tank round going through the radiator

[evilone]

added some rust cancer

gave the driver the failed attempts to stop him as well as drilled out both of the occupants eyes for a later special touch

more to come

the story: After talking to my buddy about his sighting of rommel i decided to do more research on the damned field commander. After about three hours of searching i found a viral video of a sighting of rommel. I clicked on the video and began watching it. In the video there was a group of iraqie soldiers with multiple diffeternt weapons engauging some raticals. The ratical all lost their lives as well as five of the iraqie soldiers. The soldiers started celebrating and one noticed that the wild life was running away from them but not attacking them. The camera guy followed a sidewinder and some scorpeans until there was a earthquake type rumble. he looked around and as the camera panned left a spout of sand bursted in the air. the soldiers quickly grabbed their weapons and aimed at the spout and waited. Then as the dust cleared they seen rommel's rod heading towards them with a unworldly amount of speed. They opened fire on him but he still was heading to their location. After about five seconds rommel was in their location and the vehicle took a sudden stop. rommel opened the door and stepped out. one of the soldiers had a WW2 flamethrower. he stepped foward and started using the flamethrower on rommel. Rommel walked towards him and laughed then hit the soldier so hard he flew into one of the vehicles the soldiers rode in. Rommel still on fire from the attack of the flamethrower walked around and collected the souls of the dead in his urn. Finally the soldier that attacked rommel with the flamethrower was all that was left. Near death and slowly bleeding internally he leaned towards the vehicle struggleing to breath. Rommel walked up to him and went down on one of his knees. He wispered something in german as he pulled out a different looking urn. He then plunged his han into the mans chest and ripped out his heart and placed it into the jar. After he put the jar away he went bach to collect the man's soul. After the collection was complete he got back into his staff car and looked at the rest of the soldiers. He yelled something to them in german laughed and sunk back into the sand. The soldiers who were panicing ran to their vehicles and drove away at a high rate of speed screaming. The front truck driver didnt pay attention to the road and slammed head first into a truck causing a pile up. the camera flew out the window and landed on the sand facing the accedent. it rolled for a few seconds then rommel walked infront of it and picked it up. he said something in german and started crushing it. The camera went black screen and the video ended. I must see him in person i will go to a war zone and watch for him.

the build:

the story: So after arriving in iraq a few weeks ago i quickly learned what war looks like. Buildings being destroyed, people crying over the dead, inocent people dying everyday. It can simply be discribed as hell on earth. i started asking around to find out if rommel was spotted here. I went to a U.S. Army base and got permission to be in the radio operation's room to listen if there was a sighting of rommel and where the location was. A few months went by and just when i was feeling hopeless there was a disturbance. A marine unit was escorting a V.I.P. out of a hot zone when they were ambushed. The radio operator was calling for help and said they were pinned behind enemy lines with a unknown amount of bogies. The general was rushed into the room and told the drone operators to get some eyes in the sky A.S.A.P. after about 15 mins the UAV was over the fire fight. The convoy was ambushed in a werehouse area with the trucks in the front and back destroyed. Enemies were in every building surrounding them. tThe general ordered a evac and support from a apache. As the air support left all anyone could do is sit and watch. The general asked what they had to use. The radio operator replied A .50cal machinegun, mini gun, assult rifles, and a javalin. The general said to keep the V.I.P. safe at all costs. 20 mins went by and the air support arrived the apache leveled a few buildings and provided cover fire as the pavelow landed. The enemies who finally met some force retreated before they all died. The marines loaded the V.I.P. then went through looking for intel and servivors. After about a hour of looking they found a folder with pictures of the area. As a private lifted up the folder there was a loud groan followed by silence. We heard the commander say "take cover" Then on it's loop still the droan caught a huge burst of rubble from one of the destroyed buildings. We heard "open fire" as the dust cleared slowly we saw a outlining of a fast moving vehicle. the apache started firing the 30 cal but to no prevail. It then used heat seekers but nothing. The pavelow operator told the side door gunners to open fire. Now two mini guns, a .50cal machine gun, a .30cal cannon,and a various amounts of assult rifles all fired at this vehicle. I shouted thats him.......THATS ROMMEL. the general looked at me and ask "are you sure son?" . I replied "as sure as i am standing here sir". The general got on the radio and told everyone to get the hell out of there. All the marines started getting in the pavelow as the apache covered them. The pavelow lifted off as rommel stopped his vehicle. The apache still firing on him he looked up at the apache and raised his hand. Then he slammed it down on his dash and the apache lost all power to its engine and crash landed. The pavelow hauled ass out of the area as the general radioed the apache. The apache gunner told the general the pilot was K.I.A. After about a min or two of the general and the survivor going back and fouth about the situation the gunner started begging " no.......no......just let me go...........NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" then there was a gargling sound followed by a demonic voice saying something in german. There was dead air from that point on. The general aske "just what the f... happend and what did that bastard say". The operator at the back of the room said "sir he said your next". No one knew what was to come soon.

Got the weathering started on it finally lol
