Hello fellow modelers,
Here are a few test shots of Alpine's new
1/35 scale releases due in early August.

Also, there will be new 1/35 scale head sets.

I'll make an official announcement once the box arts are ready.

Hope you like them.

Looks good, shouldn't the jackets be longer?

Thanks!

From the war time photos I checked, the length of the parka depends on the size of the parka. In other words, it will come down lower if you wear a parka that is too big on you.

Love the figures and can' wait to see the box art. I only ask that you do about another 10sets of these type of Germans for those of us (me) that would like to do a large diorama

Very nice, very convincing. Here's hoping they don't end up as a "New CMK figure" article in a month or two .. .

Gents,
Thank you all for the comments and support!!!

I do plan to make sequel set(s) for this one.
I know many guys are tired of SS grenadier figure carrying MG42 by now.
But I need my own version… no?!

As for CMK stuff, I just hope that they will find better way to make figures.
Thanks for looking out for Alpine.

A little off topic and probably a long shot, but have you ever considered some of the more obscure subjects such as (although somewhat dispicable) volunteer or police organisations, or RAD, railway police, etc.? Keep up the good work. I've bought quite a few Alpine figs from the LHS here in Vancouver and will continue to do so!

Can you make some Cold War British figures?

Thanks again for the comments, guys!

In 1/35 scale, it is very risky to go for less covered subjects
as 1/35 is mainly an AFV/diorama modelers' market.

Yes, I am aware non armor related figures are a niche in 1/35, I was meaning more tankers and other crew for said subject rather than some kind of infantry soldiers.
