"Watchman" - Imperium Miniatures Review

[Guy]

F3509
"Watchman"
1/35th scale resin & wood
sculptor & painter unknown
wooden watchtower included

This unique kit includes the German guard, "Watchman" and also the kit for the Guard Tower. The figure is packaged in one sealed zip-lock bag and the separate components for the watchtower in other bags according to the size of the wood. It also includes a resin base with imprints for the feet of the guard tower.

Cast in 1/35th scale the kit comes in an unusually long box to accomodate the wooden parts of the Guard tower.

Above you see all of the parts removed from the box and layed out for the photograph. As you see the parts of the Guard Tower are packaged separately according to size.

Above you see the parts that consist of the figure.

Above are three views of the head showing the excellent detail of the face and helmet.

Above are four views of the guard's torso. The head is cast separate and the right hand in a mitten is cast to the torso. The left hand is in the guard's coat pocket.

Conclusion:
A fantastic kit of a German guard and guard tower with minimal clean-up to the figure and all parts to the guard tower pre-cut to legnth. Highly recommended.
