Time to catch up on some releases from Nemrod, which are a pair of German Tankers, two French Children and a cow.

Hmmmmm ... the cow looks a bit cartoonish, the children very stiff and unnatural, but the tankers (though nothing spectacular or unusual) aren't too bad.

Exactly my thoughts, the cow looks like it may be able to talk
nothing special at all about the tank crew especially when you look at at the plastic kits coming from Miniart and Masterbox.

I'm not sure if it's the painting or the sculpting, that makes the cow look clownish.

That cow looks similar to the one off the cravendale advert!

I like the children there a nice touch but they look abit cartoony aswell. Infact there similar to the kids from Thunderbirds who get trapped down the mine and pretened to be international rescue

Intereasting additons though

And that cow really needs to be milked soon! Not some of Nemrods' better offerings I'm afraid. Must be a new sculptor - the folds and wrinkles of the crew look like my attempts at sculpting!

Hi all,

I think that the box art doesn't serve well the nemrod products. This items maybe aren't made by the same sculptor, but the figures sculted by Christophe Camillotte are among the greatest that I've seen. It's true that this one are a bit disapointing...

I think that animals are always cartoon looking in 35th scale. Never seen a realistic work.
