Mikhail Glikin of Plastic Platoon has posted a three minute video, with English subtitles, that includes plans for the new tear.


There are a couple of Google-translate type errors ( British Lobsterbacks becomes British Red Crayfish and Custer is translated as Caster) but for the most part it is easy to follow.


In summary:


The AWI range will have at least eight sets, including artillery and cavalry.


After completing the Stalingrad range PP will make sets for the battles of Kharkov, Kursk, Berlin, Monte Casino, Normandy and Market Garden.


The LBH range will be added to, including portrait figures of George and Tom Custer .


The previously announced Gatling Gun is shown again in this video.


PP will also be making additions to the Vietnam range. No specific sets have been identified yet.

The Gatling gun sculpt is beautiful as PP always are. But what time period does it represent? It has the Broadwell drum feed which was introduced in 1872, too late for the ACW. Custer had Gatlings but left them in camp as they couldn't keep up with his cavalry. So the firing pose is inaccurate for the Little Bighorn. The Broadwell drum has some limitations and was replaced by the 1877 Bruce feed by the time of the Spanish-American war.

The Highland officer looks great but his headgear seems a bit 'Brigadoonish'.

How do these figures scale with Jenkins or K&C? I wouldn't mind painting a few sets up.

The AWI Royal Artillery set is starting to show up for sale on eBay.

PP continues to post photos of WIP AWI figures. These are British.

 

[Warrior]

This manufacturer needs to find a way to produce his figures in metal fully painted; his sculpts are tremendous, some of the finest figures I've ever seen, he'd make a fortune selling them in painted metal.

Or short of that, do what Conte did and sell them painted in plastic, who's going to know the difference once they are in a display.

What a talent.

Those Japanese figures could not possibly have better detail. They look amazing!! Wow
When I compare these to say the forthcoming K & C Japanese figures, the detail intensity and sculpture dynamics are light night and day.
Thank you for the photos.
