New figures in from Alpine, two great looking crewmen to tank control of that tank.

Great to Taesung Harmms producing German Tank Crew figures with headsets and throat Mikes. I think this is the first set he has done of Panzer crew figures with both Headset and throat Mike. I especially like the Panzer Commander giving the hand signal Awesome!

These figures are on my buy list for sure.

Thanks for the compliment!
Actually, one of my earlier figures (35006) also has both head set and throat mic.

Yes, very cool looking figures! I specially like the more relaxed/bored(?) crewmember. The folded hands and the wristwatch are really nice touches. Here's an idea for the master sculpter, Mr. Harmms, please do a crewmember, who's sitting in the loaders hatch on a Panther. We really need that
Best regards

Another set of figgies from who I think,in my humble opinion,is the best armour based sculture out there right now.

Thank you again, guys. Far too kind!
:)

Actually I did think about making a figure sitting
in the circular loader's hatch of Panther turret.
It was just too complicated to have the figure sit
in with his hands holding on to the handle at the
turret roof. There's a big chance that the figure
will not fit into the spot right.

As always, the relaxed and natural positioning is just perfect. My only request, as always, is I would dearly love to see Alpine's excellent command of sculpting and pose used for more animated or "in action" figures. Or, ones that have multiple figures heavily interacting.

Yo "T"
Very nice set of Panther crew figures; you really out did yourself with the poses and the cockiness of the figures! Sweet!
The 16th scale guy is very nice as well.

May the best of times be with you!

Now we're on the money,

Just perfect.The throatmike and poses are just the part .

I think I might buy another panther just for this crew .
Excellent detail and painting ,
when's the driver coming out ?

Alpine have done a marvelous job.

Thanks
Michael

I have just started recognizing figures as a crucial part of the build. I am a slow learner.

I do like the folded hand work and the mics too. All we must do then is attach the cords or wiring for the competed look.


Thanks for making these, I must get a set when money starts flowing again.
