The Russian figure manufacturer, Tank, have announced a series of new 1/35th scale (resin) figure sets. The full story of some very different releases, can be seen:

If you have comments or questions please post them here.

Thanks!

I think they should rename sets 35090, 35091, & 35092. Certainly 91 and 92.

I hardly think they've "Escaped"

They do look good though.

Excellent

Al

Very nice looking sets. Are these the first DAK figures TANK have released?

Thanks for the news Jim

Rudi

You got that right Al!
The sculptor certainly has his inimitable style. Very oppressive/hardened looking faces. These figures are very identifiable, I s'pose in the same way that Mr. Saunders' Hornet heads are...

I think this is the only other DAK figure they've done before,very nice though,comes with 3 different heads:

Interesting looking figures.

Yes I agree, they do seem to have that same look, which also comes across in the Miniart range of figure sets.

I think any artist, sculptor, is going to have a style which comes through as his or her own. Look at Alpine Miniatures range, excellent figures, .

Roger Saunders is one of the best in my book. I think he makes a real effort to sculpt his headsets with different looking faces etc. I'd buy the whole range if I had the money, but wouldn't want to use them in case I mess them up with my painting skills Just get them out every so often to admire them.

I think the key is to collect a mixture from all the good head model sources and mix them up together in a scene with several figures to show a good variety.

In that way you reflect real life and have the ugly buggers like me along with the good looking ones in a crowd !!

Mijn danke, vanhall.

Let's hope this is only the first of many DAK infantry sets

Does anybody know where I can get these figures, in Europe that is?

In advance thanks

Erik

Hi Erik,

I ordered mine at: http://shop.afvmodeller.com/customer/home.php with good experience.
But here you'll get them, too: http://www.exter-company.com/de/hersteller/figuren/tankmodels/tank-models.html , but I never ordered there, so no experience with them...

I never ordered from Exter neither but I know some people who did and had no problems.

Yep, the on-line store of the Magazine AFV Modeller stocks Tank's figures and accesories:

Thank you all for your swift answers.

Erik

I have a few of their kits and they are easily on par with Hornet and Dragon Gen 2 and MiniArt. They scale nicely with Hornet and MiniArt as well.
