Preview: Paracel Miniatures fill out your Mekong Delta diorama (+ some new tanker's heads)

Paracel Miniatures have long been making civilians to flesh out their dioramas. Several figures, especially from their native Vietnam have been great for those wanting to show more than just wars and killing. They have a new big set of five figures, plus some ladies navigating on the delta for us along with some new head sculpts for your tankers. We look at them in our preview...

Preview: Paracel Miniatures fill out your Mekong Delta diorama (+ some new tanker's heads)

We love to see the REAL people in our diorama scenes, real human reactions, actions and people just being themselves. They have given us plenty of that in the past, from street scenes with homeless, normal characters and street people , just going about their lives.

Some of them are below...

In this latest set from Paracel Miniatures, we see just that. With a life study of Vietnamese people on the river, just living their lives. We got a hint of some of these figures on the Paracel Miniatures Facebook page recently....

We do not have a load of information on them, but we can give you a round up of what is coming or should be for sale immanently from their website.

This young Vietnamese boy is seen with a shoe shine box, standing on the street with his left hand fiddling with his singlet. A casual pose, with the kid waiting patiently for business from a passing soldier or a businessman. The nobbly knees and skinny gait of the figure is excellently sculpted.

Coke Baby (Vietnamese Kid)

From Paracel Miniatures

1/35th scale

Kit No VN3502

Sculpted by Jangleo 

1 Resin figure, unassembled & unpainted

This young lady is seen here selling Coke on the street. Maybe to soldiers, maybe to civilians, it is you, the modeller's choice here. As she si seen in pretty much a traditional suit. Seen giving the "Peace" sign, she lends herself well to a Vietnamese street setting.

Bean Boy (Vietnamese Kid)

From Paracel Miniatures

1 Resin figure, unassembled & unpainted

This young boy, on the verge of being a teenager, is seen here at work walking or standing with a basket of beans atop his head, a cloth over the top of it to keep the wind and birds away. I like the way he is composed and again the slim features of a young kid are portrayed very well here.

2 Resin figures, unassembled & unpainted + a boat

These two beautiful figures are seen working a sampan through the waters of the Mekong Delta.

A timeless sculpture in a way, as these women can be from any era in the late 20th century...
