That looks great. Do we know if the “water” base and trees will be included like some of his other figures or that is up to the modeler?

Was just thinking the same thing...can't make out much on the second soldier but they both seem rather casual to be strolling around in the pond. Either way these are excellent-looking figures and I hope that the company releases a 1/35 version.

I agree with 1/35. I think the stroll look is one because he is matching the box art and two after a few hours of patrol with no action people will get tired being at the ready.

I'm not sure about the base, as I haven't been able to find out if it is included or not. My guess is the base is included together with the tree sections, but no water.

They look good, regardless of scale. I like the left handed RTO, tho the Carbine he has is the really late war version with the bayonet lug.
