Hiriart has made several sets of World War II Germans in winter uniforms; set 1147 TOTENKOPF SS PANZER GRENADIERS is an example.

That is a really nice set and interesting subject. You don't usually get to see these guys marching. They would look great walking down a road lined with pine trees

Randy,

You are right, that would be awesome. If in the future, you would like this set, let me know. I can always order another one for me.
 
This Hiriart set 1095 WORLD WAR II GERMAN INFANTRY IN GREATCOATS is from my collection. I don't have a stock photo.

Hello Mike,
these are fantastic sets again. I must admitt I had not heard about the company before until I read your threads. Thank you very much for shareing
Best regards

Hi Wolfgang,

I am glad you like Hiriart's figures. It has been my pleasure to share them on the Forum. Many of us who love tradition, 54mm glossy toy soldiers, have come to collect the 340 sets in the catalog of this small company from Uruguay. FYI: There is an importer of Hiriart sets (sorry, I don't know his name) who regularly attends the London shows.
 
In 2009, I ordered a special, non-catalog set of World War II German Kriegsmarine in winter uniforms. Actually, I ordered two sets, one for me and one for Bob Walker. It is hard to see from the photos, but the greatcoats are dark blue.

Hiriart has also done German paratroopers in winter camouflage uniforms based on catalog set 1217 WORLD WAR II FALLSCHIRMJAEGER. The first photo is the catalog set while the second is the winter non-catalog version.

Wolfgang, you are welcome. When I get a chance, I am going to start a new thread on Hiriart's Imperial German cavalry.
 
Another Hiriart set in this area is 1046 LIEBSTANDARTE SS IN GREATCOATS WITH HITLER (and Blondi).
