Dragon Models have just announced a New, 1/35th scale figure set. Not, in itself surprising, however what they are doing with it is extremely interesting..
6574 - German Warriors 1940-41
Is a five-figure set which, on first impression, is another Early-War set, which, reflecting the increasing amount of new AFV releases is understandable. Four infantry and one AFV crewmen are included. Pretty standard fare - so it appears.
However, the figures reflect something we rarely see - troops in the process of 'preparing'. Adjusting helmet straps, putting on a tunic etc. are mundane, but frequently documented activities. Great to see them in figure sets!
I have to admit, to not being tremendously 'enthused' by some of the recent announcements, this set though just screams potential.
It also reflects many of the superb Volstad illustrations we've seen over the years - one of the biggest sources of inspiration available.
More of this kind of set please!
