Thanks!

Those two tankers really do create an itch you want to scratch, I will have to keep an eye out for them.

the figure from Rommel is outstanding

The Rommel figure is great looking, not to sure about the guy waving, but the other figure looks great.

Am I correct in thinking the uniform would be late war Italy! I remember something about sub waterproofs and Italy.

Could be Hitlerjugend Tank crew in Normandy with the leathers..!

Finally, Alpine is getting away from their static figures to ones AFV modelers can use.

Thanks for the compliments, guys! I do plan to come out with the on-vehicle type figures in 1/35 this year.

Just try to squeeze one or two modern figures into the lineup

You already know what I think of Rommel and his goggles

Hisham

How about Rommel in 1940 and not in a greatcoat?

WOW! The resemblance with the real Rommel is just unreal. Bravo!

Yeah, I agree with Bill.
Taesung, we need more figures with some action pose. Not necessarily tank riders (though those are good too), but poses that would tell a story or contribute to one.

Thanks again guys for the comments.

As for the guys asking for action poses.... I do have some action posed figs recently released and need to see them do well before I make more.

How about some WW1 figures for the new kits out there in both scales.

You need to see the action poses do well first...Guess I'll have to buy 80 of the recent ones

Great job! Rommel figure is very nice, but I want it in 1/35 also, with DAK clothing
Cheers!

All outstanding as usual Taesung,
The 'leather guys" are very cool. They could be used for tankers in 1SS 0r 12SS Div or also the 1SS PanzerKorps(IE 101 or 102 heavy tank Bn).
These u-boat leathers were issued to the tankers during their re-fit in spring '44 and were prized because of the extra protection from burns if their tank was brewed up. They were GERMAN Kriegsmarine items and not Italian. There were also stocks of Italian cammo cloth commandeered at that time to be made into uniform items by the 1SS PzK troops. Interesting how books in the past turned all this into the"Italian u-boat leathers" story.

Hi Guys, the leather u-boat uniforms were issued to mostly AFV crews of 1SS, 2SS, 3SS, 12SS, and other smaller units formed with personnels from the fore-mentioned divisions (such as 101, 102, 103 SS tiger battalions).

Once again....Excellent figures!

Any chance of ever seeing them in 1:48?

Cheers,
Joe
