New figures from
Stalingrad this April
# 3005 – German General
and his driver
This high level staff officer of the Wehrmacht is seen
either getting into or most likely out of his staff car whilst his driver stands
to attention behind him opening the door.
The General is seen with a full length wool lined coat with
his decorated sideboard easy to see in these pictures. He has his leg raised in
an interesting pose and here you can see that it fits the Opel Kapitan staff
car pretty perfectly but I suppose it could be just about any car really.
His corporal (Unteroffizier) is seen here standing stiffly
to attention in his ¾ length greatcoat with side M-34 forage cap on his head
while he holds the door open for his commander.
# 3006 – German Officer
This man could well be posed with the General and his driver
– he is seen standing rigid whilst at attention as his commander gets out of
his staff car.
The officer wears a dispatch rider weight rubberised long
coat that has a large pocket on the front of it and he carries a large sealed
map or plans – probably why the high ranking officer is there to see him in the
first place.
# 3007 - German
soldiers on excursion
These two lads look like trouble! In a scene reminiscent of
the first part of the movie “Stalingrad” (apt on this occasion) the soldiers
are at a tourist locale behind the lines and one at least is wounded. He
carries his arm in a sling under his jacket, which bears one or two medals
telling of his exploits..
His Kammeraden
looks like he is up to no good as well – although not wounded he carries a Leica
III camera or a bunch of flowers – why you ask? Because he has fixed in his
gaze the two lovelies that lay on the beach in our next set…
# 3008 - Girls On Beach
These two lovely young ladies are just out of the water on a
trip to the back, who knows if they know they have attention from the German tourists?
There are two lady figures here – one is seen resting sitting
down looking ahead at either the water or her friend.
Her companion has just gotten out of the water and is drying
her hair with a long towel. Her swimming costume is textured and looks great in
this sculpt.
The girls have a bunch of stuff sprawled out around them –
all their personal effects on the beach. We think that Stalingrad have captured
their beauty very well indeed.
# 3576 - Red Army
Tanker
This lad from the Red Army has a crafty cigarette or ”сигарета”
He can be seen here inside the turret of his tank but he can be posed outside
his vehicle as well as he is a full bodied figure.
Wearing his tanker’s leather jacket and side forage cap with
a long and nasty looking captured knife on his belt this soldier has an
excellent look on his face. It is the trademark of Stalingrad’s figures and he
looks like he is enjoying every last bit of that ciggie!
# 3577 - Red Army
Tanker
The last figure in this month’s releases is sitting flush
inside his vehicle and has as a feature of this sculpt got flattened arms so when
he leans on the vehicle he os looking
forward and down and quite convincingly so as his clothes meld with the surface
of the tank.
He wears the iconic Russian tanker’s padded helmet and is
seen here in light dress – so maybe he and his comrade are at the beach watching
the girls?? Sounds like a dating game show – Russians against the German team –
who will get the girls?
All of these figures
are now available from Stalingrad’s distributors – to be found on their website
