The face on the German looks weird. More that of a child or a doll. Completely ruins the figure in my humble opinion.

 

[Alex Long]

Varied and interesting selection of releases, shall look forward to seeing these at Euro. The Knight of the Lion order (living version) is my favorite.

For me looks more like an Asian, but is a very cool figure...

 

[Edorta]

Great releases, the roman senator is my favourite. What a great and realistic portrait!

Same with the ACW busts, but I don't that ruins them. I like the lot of these releases.

Allow me to say that I agree with you both guys: He looks incredibly young ... and the ethnicity looks far from a Deutsche Arian. I think I understand the intentions of the sculptor: "Unterscharführer" is one of those never ending German words that are, as a matter of fact, a joint of common nouns. In this case this long word means "Junior Squad Leader" (if you want the "ultimate" experience regarding composite nouns you have to grab an Anatomy or Engineering book written in German, ...some words almost take half a line!)


Staying on topic, I see this figure as an odd: And I mean this with a positive mean: Something out of the ordinary german in the figurine universe:

a) Is it a common sight to see a Platanenmuster pattern in France. 1940? No.

b) Is it common to see someone so young from the Nazi Party paramilitary ranks enlisted at the Schutzstaffel and furthermore in action? Again a no!


While I understand intentions, for me there is a weak point: This figure has a ratio of approximately one head part to 6 body parts and that clearly causes strangeness to the eyes at first glance: Because those are the proportions, boys have at about thirteen years old but the age lower limit for Reichsdeutsche to enlist was seventeen years old.


There is, however a rare rare rare chance: A teen from the Volksdeutsche: That could explain ethnicity (even if I personally feel the face to be not the very best around) and age: Since reports exist of enlisted teens aged just twelve years old used by the all powerful Waffen SS since the night of the long knives: Call them cannon fodder, as expected they were normally thug teens without nothing to loose.


Well ... enough food to talk ...

I am all over the Rome Senator bust, a must have for me.

 

[Babelfish]

The face on the German looks weird. More that of a child or a doll. Completely ruins the figure in my humble opinion.

Have to agree 100%. Otherwise it's a decent enough figure, and superbly painted.

I mean no disrespect to Mr. Perez, but the faces on all three of those sculpts (the two ACW and the German) are all very similar if you look at them. All very doll-like and a bit odd.

[Edorta]

I think the face of the german young soldier is not bad. I found a pic in the net, of a young german prisoner, what you think?

 

[smudger1960]

[Fabricio_Fay]

Hi Fernando!

Great figures!
My choise is the Roman senator but also like very much the SS guy.
About the SS camo, is according to the year that the title displays: 1940, summer version. Well done!
The SS camouflage in early stages of war, France, Greece etc was the Platanenmuster = Plane Tree pattern...
This type of camouflage was introduced in 1937 or 1939, some books say´s 37 other´s 39, my thoughts are 39...
About the face, for me are fait divers.

Cheers,
Pedro.

 

[Filipe]

I must agree about the doll faces of the busts and the SS, but the roman bust looks cool.

 

[Mirofsoft]

I like the pilot very much
Perhaps the Senator, painting it false marble ...

 

[Alexander Zelenkov]

Roman Senator is very interesting.

 

[Sturm Grenadier]

The face on the German looks weird. More that of a child or a doll. Completely ruins the figure in my humble opinion.

Hello H&V, I like your new releases, a little something for everyone. I disagree with Kentish Lad about the face on the Waffen SS Grenadier. The face does look young, which is fine, but I don't think it looks weird or doll-like. There were many young soldiers in all the armies of WW2. Jaume's painting of this figure is superb. The Plane Tree Pattern Smock was worn in France 1940. Jaume has always been very accurate, and authentic, in the way he paints uniforms. Here are some photos of WSS troops in France 1940, they are wearing Plane Tree Smocks, also in the first photo, the face resembles the figure:Alot of these soldiers look very young, and are wearing Plane Tree Smocks. Great job H&V, I look forward to these, and your future releases. Regards, SG
