Panzer Crew prototypes being tested on various tank hatches for fitting
and size proportion tests.



Enjoy!

They look good, the guy waiting in the traffic jam looks suitably bored.

How do they compare to your other figures in terms of proportions etc?

Basically the same template.  We used the same size template across all our figures.

Excellent, certain other manufacturers crew look a completely different scale.

These are easily the best Panzer crew I've seen in this scale.  But will the detail be as sharp when they're reproduced in plastic?

Followed by our Panzer crew post yesterday, here are some of our painted Panzer crew samples
based on FOUR basic torsos with different combinations of heads and hands available on the
plastic sprue... A total of over SIXTY possible poses for your Panzertruppen!









Enjoy!

Very good.

Third one down on the end does look like he is listening to a track by The Bangles.

Is there any way you could include a tank commander torso wearing an open collar M-40 type tunic and one in a service shirt, in addition to the panzer wrap tunics that you show on your painted prototypes?? I don't believe that the panzer wrap tunic was common in North Africa. And a figure in a service shirt could be used for warmer weather theaters, such as Italy, North Africa and in the summer on the Eastern Front.

WOW ! These look awesome . If possible could you add a seated lower body with legs ? it would be nice to have some crew seated in the hatches as shown in many war time pictures . Its a real pain trying to convert standing figures to seated ones ,( although the plastic figures in the BA Uni carrier are a good starting point )

Unfortunately, these are done and send to mould making for processing...
The SdKfz 250/3 & 2501/3 Expansion Set had 4 sitting lower bodies which I
think can be used as a base for conversion.

Yes, we have plans to do a few sculpts just like that... probably next year
when our workload is less busy!
