Can't find a suitable Tiger I for posting, so we are using an early war DAK Tiger I instead.
Even though there had been debates whether Woll was at the Villers Bocage, we thought
Wittmann & Woll will do an excellent figure set.







Enjoy!

For those who had been asking... this is a size comparison between
our figures (standard figure template) and that of the Perrys.



Enjoy!

These look really good - lovely work.  I think the US helmets are a bit oversimplified, but I'd probably replace the heads with Warlord plastic heads so they matched the other figures.

Whoever painted these did a great job too, btw.

Nice paint job.

Full of character, how many combinations can you build from the bits, that is one of the limitations of distinctive figures, you can only use one of them.

Do the helmets look a bit tall compared to the Warlord ones?




Only US infantry photographs I have.

Infinitely better than the West Wind ones, which look decidedly odd: http://ultravanillasmurf.blogspot.co.uk/2014/03/the-b-team-trailer.html

I'm not sure about the helmets either . Sometimes photos really don't give you the true impression of shape and size . Might look better if they had camo netting on them ? And as stated by Pinky , most guys would replace the heads to match the rest of their figures , as well replace  weapons, packs  etc . Still not feeling the love for the guy tying up his boot though . The rest look great  .But  I'm sure with a little surgery and a leg swap he would fit my needs . It dosn't matter who makes them ,or what set you buy, in what  any scale , there's always one figure that just dosn't do it for you

What a wonderful set of figures  :)

Do agree, there's something not quite right about the helmets though. I think it's the fact that the 'peaks' on the helmets appear to be stunted or missing. The US M1 helmet actually has a really pronounced peak. The driver's helmet appears to have it. The seated troops do not.

Apart from that, really good. Great casual poses. Love the guy tying his laces.

 ;D I love the guy with the stogie too.
I applaud the thought that's gone into some natural human poses of troops at rest or in transit. Shows a lot of character and confidence I think. Would have been pretty easy to just have a load of soldiers sitting their clutching their rifles. Possibly more useful for wargames, I must admit. But I find this more interesting. Well done to the design team. Well, from me anyway  ;)

I'm sure if I got a couple of sets ( 2 trucks worth ) I could adjust his pose to blend in with the rest of the figures . But it would look really silly IMO to have this pose in every truck in your convoy . I know most gamers  usually get one of each vehicle , a modeller I like numerous versions . ( 7 Pzr IV , 5 T-34/85 so far  ::) )  I want them all to be different , with stowage , crew and tank riders if possible . But that's the joy of this hobby , we all have different things we like  to do  , weather its building , painting , converting or even a playing that damm game  ;D

These look fantastic!  The faces look great, and the poses seem very natural.
