Hi gents,
I am looking for a ww2 marching/walking German, wearing a greatcoat.
Someone doing guardduty or could be made doing so, preferably walking.
Scale doesn't really matter as long as it's 1/35 - 1/16.

What company does have these figures?

Almost all companies do Germans in Great coats but this set from Masterbox might be what you need.

What do you mean? An early coat or has the entire figur to look more parade like?

And that Masterbox kit contains an entire watchtower btw.

Thanks for the help, guys!

Ok, I think I have to be more specific.
It doesn't matter what material; styrene, resin or metal.
Prefered scale would be 70-90mm.
Clothing greatcoat, but not winter.
Stance relaxed as in guardduty behind enemylines.
Why?

Because I would like to recreate this little scene:


For which I need to find a suitable boy too....

How about the second guy from the left?



The kit is from Preiser in 1:35 (named Heimaturlaub) and the guy is military police but it shouldn't be too hard to get rid of his sign.

Thank you for the assistance, guys!
I was hoping for figures in larger scales, but maybe I have to settle for 1/35...

Maybe someone knows if there are any pictures of the contents of the MB Wachturm-kit?

Hi Ron. Have you considered tamiya´s 1/16 Machine gunner with great coat? Kit # 36306-

Image here

The pose could be changed slighly from your reference images .. even the machine gun swapped!

Hello Ron, what about one of the two soldiers walking next to the BMW R75 ? (box art of the old Tamiya kit ) If you want one of them (or both) I send them to you. They've been in the attic 2 long !
So let me know will you ? Send me a PM

Hi Ron, I have an odd suggestion of combining two Tamiya 1/16 figure to make what you need. The kits are 36306 & 36311. Somehow I envisage the result would be very close to the soldier depicted in the photo. The kits are in 1/16 which are easier to modify. - Paul

36306


36311

Again, thanks a lot for all your input, gentlemen!
@ Eddy; I really appreciate your offer, but I will not be needing these figures.

I think I'll go for Frank's and especially Paul's suggestion. These do have merit and seem like the best possible base to start from.
Now all I need is a boy in the same scale and I think that will prove to be a problem. I've never seen one of those...
