Excellent choice and a nice sculpt.

The only problem is that we will now want all of his "toys" in plastic ^__^.

Of course, this might be an opportunity for your short run resin option.

Tea, very important (hence the requirement for a boiling vessel in British tanks).

The karaoke singer serenading the infantry might need some work.

Looking forward to these.

These look really good except for the two heads in the right lower corner . Is that supposed to be the Tankers steel helmet seen in late 1944 pictures ? Or is it something from the early part of the war ? I've seen anything like that before

The first protective headgear for tank crews was introduced in 1936 with the original design being modified in 1939 and re-issued as the 'Crash Helmet, RTR' and was similar to the French Mle 35 tank helmet. The fabric crown covering had a distinctive multi-piece construction with three ventilation holes reinforced with rubber grommets at the front a 'bumper' pad to help absorb some of the shock of accidental impacts within the tank.

They all look like Michael Caine...

I like most of the figures with berets (the mic looks too big though).  The figures with the very early tanker helmet don't look right - the helmet seems the wrong shape, and the joints are too prominent (see the photo below).  This helmet was only used for a short time, and wasn't common even when it was standard issue.  I don't think it was used in the desert at all.  I'd suggest not including it.  Figures wearing the late war version would be much more useful.

Has anyone identified the vehicle being used for the render?

These 1/56 scale figures of Wittmann and Woll are made with love and dedications to represent a moment in history during WW2.



Enjoy!

Maybe the "love and dedication" is a bit much for a couple of SS poster boys...

What is the plan with all these excellent character figures you're doing?

The ship has probably long already sailed for American Shermans, but would it be possible to do a set of Heads for Black US Tankers and Soldiers? Having spent a great deal of time at Fort Hood I wanted to build a few tanks from the 761st Tank Battalion.

An interesting idea. It is not just Americans, non European origin soldiers fought and died for all sides in World War 2 (a fact that is only now being commemorated).

I would politely suggest that any renders were reviewed privately before being  made public, so as not to cause any unintended offence.

If nobody tells you the scale of these figures, quite sure everybody will think they are 1/35 scale!

Yup, looks a lot larger than 28mm.
