Hi Jeff,

Any thought about doing more 1:35 scale figures?

 

[newtonk]

Phenomenal stuff; thank you, Jeff. If this is part 1, how many more figures are to come, please?

 

[pinkfloyd]

Hi Gedmagpie,
Thanks for your question! I don't have any plan for more 1:35th this moment, but I'm not sure will start this scale again in the near future.

Hi Newtonk,
Part II will be coming very soon, I believe around a week. This series will totally have part I to part III which including five figures that I think.

Thanks and regards,
Jeff

I really love this pair, they're excellently done.
As I've done a bit of research on the Fallschirmjäger recently, one detail troubles me slightly, though. The R.Z. 16 parachute sits too low down (probably easily fixed by gluing it a tad higher). Here's what it should look like:



Really excited about all those German paras in jump gear.

Cheers

Karl,

Thank you for the excellent image; do you have one of the jump smock represented here, please?

Jeff,

Sorry for the dumb questions... had I stopped and read your post first, I would have known there were going to be five figures over three releases...

Thank you for the excellent image; do you have one of the jump smock represented here, please? ...

Hi Jeff,

They are wearing the "M40" jump smock, shown here in all its glory:

Perfect, Karl; thank you again for that.

Lovely work as always Jeff. Promises to be a super set and quite a coincidence as I’m writing this on holiday in Crete. Hoping to visit some of the relevant places relating to Operation Mercury.
