Hello All,

I'm building a German Faun tank transporter. I want to add some figures to it which are doing "something", like securing a load on the trailer or anything like that. Is there any company that sells these kind of Bundeswehr figures?

Regards,

Matthijs

If you wait Trumpeter are bringing some out.

There is a German company that does them in Resin.

Sorry, but I can't remember the name or site. I also don't know of any others.

Try Goffy Models

I believe CMK and Jaguar have also made some modern German Bundeswehr figures. I'm not sure I'd go for the CMK ones, as their figures tend to look a little strange, crude, and stiff.

thanks for your help guys,

The CMK ones are hilarious, they look like cartoon figures. The Jaguar figures will not match with my kit. The Goffy figures look the best, I think I'll go for those.

Elite modell do a couple of German figures

Also the jaguar ones are really good, fantastically well detailed. Whilst the poses may not be any good for you, my friend got a couple of sets and made casts of them so he could chop them up and make new poses. For example he cast the torsos with the flak jackets and matched them to some 1/35 scale legs to make figures of troops removing an engine.

Hi,

take a look at dolp Figures. They are white metal and many different poses. I think is the manufacture with most aviable Bundeswehr troopers. You get Panzergrenadiere, Tank crew, KSK Commando guys, sniper, Feldjäger (MP) etc. The quality is not so high like Resin ones but the poses are much better than CMK. Also you get some extra weapons and equipment sets (UZI, G36, Sniper rifles with bags, Rucksacks look like Bergens. And some head sets with boonie, beret and/or helmet.
Here is a link to the modelshop from ebay:

Dolp Miniatures

and here is the the Manufacture site:

Hope it helps,

Also useful that Dolp has the "old style" weapons (G3) and equipment (SEM35, SEM52 etc) as separat (and resonably priced) add ons. So transitional period (late 80s/early 90s) BW can be done

I recognize a bunch of the DOLP Modellbau Bundeswehr figure sets and conversions....they used to be sold by a German company named MSJ-Produkte.

The sets and images look the same.

I have a few sets.....Marder Commander and Driver, Marder standing Panzergrenadiere, and the Marder open hatch conversions.

They are overall nice sets with half decent details. The G-36 rifles are white metal....not the best detail but the only ones that I know of.

Good to see the products.

Think I'm gonna buy a couple of figures for my Faun from DOLP Models.

James did post the photos of the figures but no one took notice.
