These showed up yesterday and I had to 'put em to work'...my take, these are excellent figures and I'll look forward to future US releases from WP

Excellent shots, look forward to getting mine .
Thanks for posting Mike.

Always a thrill to receive a new item Mike. Conjures up a myriad of new ideas on how to display them, like the ones you have here. Excellent. Robin.

Superb figures, beautifully displayed

 

[WesternOutlaw]

Sharp figures, Mike. I like how you set them up as well having used that little pharmacy in a few scenes myself.
Well one!

- Good looking figures. Really like the doorway images.

Darn it, Mike, you beat me to the punch

My War Park US Paratroopers came yesterday as well. No point in making a competing thread, so I included a few pics of my little display below…

These are fantastic figures and some of War Park’s best work yet

Great little vignette Tristan. - And who made the Germans?

Thanks Mike! The Germans are from First Legion and were some of the more recent Heer figures for their Normandy range. I’m interested to see how War Park’s upcoming Normandy SS figures will look as I may wind up substituting the FL figures for some of those… And here’s hoping we get more US Paratroopers from War Park!

Does anyone have FL 101st and WP that they can post a photo of?

Yes, more US Paratroopers will certainly be welcomed. Also hoping to see some Normandy Fallshrimjagers, much needed in my opinion. - Ken

Thanks. So do you think they go well together?

Thanks. So do you think they go well together?

I think they mix quite well, as do W.Britian. To my eye the WP figures are superior to the FL paratroopers. However, the FL figures were produced a few years ago and have, in general, improved greatly. Of course, each of us will view the comparisons differently depending on our preferences. I'd be interested to read the thoughts of others who have the figures in their collections.

Thanks for your thoughts Brian.

Great shots Tristan!
I agree, I think the WP figures ‘work and play well’ together with FL…I don’t have the new WB airborne troops yet, but they’re on my list.

Ken, I just realized I called you Mike in my earlier post! Lack of sleep doesn’t make for good writing, lol

 

[WesternOutlaw]

Wow! You guys are making these paratroopers look even better. Top notch!

Great looking miniatures and photos, guys.
