A side project... First test sprues for the German military bicycle had arrived at our studio.

Will do an engineering check followed by a QC report for further updates. More goodies coming!






Enjoy!

Cool . The Germans had a few different gear layouts on their  bikes , including mines and this one with a MG 34 ( picture from Masterbox )

  Nice to see separate personal gear ( bread bag , canteen ) for the troops .  I know what I'll be researching on the computer today ...

Interesting.

Is it two one piece cyclists bodies and two multi-part bodies?

[ripley]

That the way it looks . Left sprue has 2 lower bodies , middle sprue has 2 torsos , right sprue has 2 full bodies . A bit of a weird layout, but I guess it's to make room for the bikes , personal gear and equipment ?? Personally I like the split body type figures as they  kit bash easier . If these sell maybe we'll get some Brit Paras on bikes as well

We are making a major change to the sculpting of our figures. 

Many customers wanted variety with their figure collection.  This is easy with plastic miniatures, but pewter had always been a challenge.  In the past, we had added an extra set of arms or two to some blister packs for variety, but we think it was not a good solution on our side.  To solve the issue, we have decided NOT to include webbings on some sculpts.  Instead, we will make them separate... as a PLASTIC webbing sprue so that customer can "customise" their figures to their liking.  What do you think?









Enjoy!

They look great

[ultravanillasmurf]

Nice.
I do think the horses look a bit "sporty".

Of course my only experience of horse drawn wagons are the brewers drays, and they are heavy horses.

[Edit] I hate autocorrect

 Yes they are rather slim for work horses , but I would think most large draft animals would have been "borrowed " by the local or invading armies to haul goods wagons or artillery ( or maybe for lunch ! ) . Most WW2 pictures show very gaunt horses pulling the refugee wagons .  Post war these would be more for riding than hauling carts IMO.
