    New Releases for December 2025 - Second World War

    Egonzinc, awesome to see you’ve got a 1/6 scale Dragon Panzer II as well! It looks great, tow hooks and all. Was yours the kit version or the prebuilt version? Mine is the prebuilt variant.

    Awesome pic, Duke! Can’t decide whether I like the figures or your terrain better.

    Last of the Breed - A Panzer III at the Battle of Kursk

    Thanks everyone! I do greatly appreciate all the kind comments on my work and it says a lot about this hobby by how supportive the collectors are of one another’s work 😃 This scene actually went through a few “drafts” before I finally got it to look the way I wanted. Originally I used the same...

    Last of the Breed - A Panzer III at the Battle of Kursk

    A late model Panzer III Ausf. M from the 6th Panzer Division, with accompanying Heer infantry, move past a knocked out Soviet T-70 tank somewhere on the southern front of the Battle of Kursk, July-August, 1943. First Legion’s Kursk Panzer III Ausf. M is a stunning model and one of my favorites...

    Winter T-70

    Great photo Duke! I really like FL’s T-70 tank model. However, like we were discussing on Facebook, it’s a shame FL hasn’t yet made more Soviet tankers that could fit in the hatches of the T-70 and their several other Soviet tanks.

    From Machinist to Warrior...

    That factory complex is incredible, Mike! Thanks for posting the pics of the set in its entirety as it’s really neat to see 😎 However, I can easily see how it’s become your “white whale” to use your words… The display is massive, not easily movable, and seems to take up a bit of space for just...

    JJD Desert Armor, Exquisite

    Fantastic pics, Mike! Glad to see you’ve gotten into John’s WWII Afrika Corps line! These tanks really blow away the competition 😎

    Panzer II on the Move

    Yeah, the AK002 tanks commander figure in particular. That figure fit perfectly into the hatch and even stands on the commander’s seat. The AK001 figure works pretty decently as well, but the 002 figure just looks the part 😎

    The way you’ve got that explosion in the background looks awesome, Wayne! The gun crew on that Hummel must have hit an ammo dump or something…

    Thanks Mike and Wayne! Granted they’re all photos of setups I’ve posted before, just I wanted to highlight the FL figures and the quality they bring to just about any diorama 😎

    Recent Displays using First Legion Products

    I’ve posted a number of recent diorama displays in the John Jenkins Designs forum that used JJD WWII armored vehicles paired with First Legion figures and wanted to share some pics in the FL forum specifically. The FL figures really made those displays with the JJD tanks look fantastic 😎 FL...

    Panzer II on the Move

    Thank you all for the kind words on my vignette, everyone 😃 Mike, I can’t wait to see how you display yours! And as if right on cue, no sooner do I post a wish for John to make a Panzer II in classic German grey, then he announces a Panzer II Ausf. B from the Polish campaign is coming in...

    New Releases for December 2025 - Second World War

    Glad to see John is doing an early Panzer II B in classic German grey! I’ve already ordered as well. It will complement my giant Dragon Models 1/6 scale Panzer IIB 😎

    Panzer II on the Move

    I just received John’s new Panzer II Ausf. C model (GA-25D) today and it is fantastic! I’ve got mine in a compact vignette display with some First Legion DAK figures and a War Park tank commander. The Panzer II is an entirely new tooling and John knocked it out of the park! It’s easily the best...

    OCTOBER 2025 FIGURE NEWS

    I like that Indy Fight set! Definitely going on my list and I’ve got a couple fun display ideas for it 😎

    I’ll take this for a ride

    Rafael, I like how in many of your displays you take a figure intended for one purpose - in this case, First Legion’s TC004 Tank Crew figure intended for their VEH009 SdKfz 222 armored car - and use it in a different context where it works equally as good. Nice work 😎

    The 84th Regiment--a simple scene

    Mark, thank you for the shoutout and glad to see other members trying out the vignette diorama idea 😃 Your vignette looks beautiful and really showcases your figures perfectly! I like how you did your terrain and foliage as well. As with any art, the key is practice and experimentation. The...
