Closing in on the Reich... (1 Viewer)

I am amazed and impressed by the restraint shown by those posting on this thread concerning this new range. N0-one has asked yet when Britains will be releasing a Tiger tank!

That is a nice schwimmwagen.

It does look good it could tempt me into WW2, just hope there will be some WW1 vehicles in the pipeline too

Hey Kev

I know some blokes in Brissy that would be happy with that as well and if you get tempted into WW2, just make sure the temptation doesn't lead you to the poor house and mobile soup kitchen! {eek3}^&grin

Really getting hard saying no to these new figures in Vikings, WW1 and WW2. They are really well done and now some vehicles to go with them. Really getting hard. I am going to start to look for historical evidence that they were used in the ACW or AMI. I am sure if the Confederates or Federals had some schwimmwagen, they would have used them. Chris

Spring 1945 and the Allied armies cross into Germany. The end seems near, but combat is not over and the troops are warned to be on their guard.
Our new MP comes with a sign based on originals in period pictures and newsreels that were pre-printed and pasted up on billboards at crossing points into Germany. We felt it stated a time a place to help set a scene...

 

[WBritain]

A more period feel to the scene...

 

[WBritain]

Wonder if the schwimmwagen will come with driver/passengers?

Here is picture of the crew right after I finished them. I will post pictures of the painted set when we are closer to releasing the fall collection catalog.

Great looking model and crew! What material is the schwimwagen model made from? Is the crew Heer or Waffen-SS? Roll on the Fall catalogue!

The give away in this photograph is the helmet cover with three spring tensioned rocker clips...Waffen SS. The driver wears a M-44 camo jacket and the passenger a reversible parka.

Well done and they remind me a little of the famous bulge pics.

Here is another image I thought I would share with you from our "Closing in on the Reich" series.
I took it a short time ago for an ad along with a few other set ups I will share soon.
It features two of the Fallschirmjagers along with a Volksgrenadier and a Hitler Youth member with bikes. Note the photo etched spokes on the bikes. I felt it gave it a nice 'feel'.
By the way the cart is also new...

Yes, but Britains tend to be at the smaller end of the 1/30 the scale spectrum!
