That's a pretty common position for binoculars on figures.  I agree it would be hard to maintain, but I think the idea is that he has just lowered them in order to gesture dramatically towards the enemy. 

I like the uncluttered look of the crew; the poses seem sensible (although anti-tank crews crouched rather than stood, as a rule) and the detail seems sharp.  Only the heads look a bit rough.

What would be nice is some pictures viewing the model from a more horizontal angle.

As you say crews would be crouching rather than standing.

Excellent.

Are there only the ammo boxes for vehicle interiors (blocks of  five or six)? I could not see any individual ones (which I would assume would be more likely for the field guns.

So what would be a common tow for this AT gun?

From research, the ammo boxes are the same.  Did not have individual ones because they are too small as a single part.

Any halftracks and trucks.  We might even have some new trucks coming... ;)

Looks really good . You could separate the row of ammo boxes with a hobby razor saw ( 1-2 mm thick blade , 32-64 teeth per inch ) if you wanted to show a crew on the ground in action . That's what I'm going to do  :D

That is a good idea.

A detail look at what the PaK 36 plastic kit will be like!
No release date yet as we are still working on the additional gun crew.









Enjoy!

Very nice.

I guess the vehicle mount gun is usable for the Universal carriers based self propelled gun.

PaK 36 AT gun crew painted - We have two sets of figures available.
One set for 25mm based poses and the other for without bases.
Figures in both sets can be interchanged for variety too!





















Enjoy!

They look good.

The labelling is a bit odd, a number of the pictures say 25mm bases, they all appear to be on big bases unless you have branched out to 6mm scale and the gun is on a 25mm base.

Saying that Forge World once did 6mm scale multipart wombles.

Great looking figures , Hopefully available as a separate pack as they will convert nicely to regular Infantry by adding BA bits from the parts box .  Are you going to supply them with canteens , bread bags , ammo pouches , etc , or just leave them " naked " of personal gear ?

I think they mean the crew would fit on a 25mm base if needed.
