I shared a box of the recently released Orion British WW2 winter tank crew with Will, 2 sprues each. These guys are the most useful dismounted figures, each sprue has a chap loading shells and two guys handling jerry cans (mounted in groups of three at the back) and then there are bailed out tank crew figures, again each sprue carries a guy running, another firing a Sten from the hip and a third firing a revolver.
The rest of the figures on the sprue include three figures suitable for crew in hatches, a kneeling figure as if on the tank deck ready to take the shell being offered by the figure above, and two seated figures, one eating from a mess can. All very nice and will be put to good use when I'm next working on command British armour.
I even tinkered with the image to try for a period look.
As ever, thanks for looking.
Superb work on these. Great characterization on the faces.
ReplyDeleteThanks. They are some of the nicest 20mm sculpts I've seen.

These are great Mr C, a very useful box by the looks of it. That last picture looks fantastic!!
ReplyDeleteCheers Richard, you can never have enough tank crew, so they have lots of options to decorate vehicles, as well as the dismounts shown.

Great work Andy, I agree they are lovely figures, you just pipped me to the post. Mine were finished a couple of days ago.
ReplyDeleteAh, look forward to seeing yours. I'm already looking forward to the next batch of releases.
DeleteCheers, Andy
Very nice, looks like a useful set
ReplyDeleteThanks Richard. Yes, some nice dismounted poses, plus as many again for hatches. They are some of the nicest plastic figures I've seen.
DeleteCheers, Andy
Great stuff Andy, I think I will pick up that box myself

Thanks, they are some of the nicest plastic figures I've worked on.

Absolutely brilliant. I just received these and the WD ones as well. Hope they turn out as good as this. I also got the US versions. The top half of most of these will make great crew for M10', Achilles and other open topped SPG's and such.
ReplyDeleteThe desert figures are excellent, similar range of poses and nicely scuplted. I also have the US set, but only painted up 5 of them so far. The US tanker figure in the windcheater carrying a grease gun is a shoe-in for a head swap with a standard US infantry head for Clint Eastwood in Kelly's Heroes.
