We rarely publish news on figures in 54mm scale, but this vignette is really something special and should prove popular with all WWI fans on Armorama.

A well sculpted memory to brave men.
Certainly worth collecting.
But why 54mm?
Nevertheless: thanks for this review, it will certainly create a financial gap in my modeling budget soon.

The classic toy soldier / figure collector scale.

If you thought that one was nice, check this one out:

Andrea Miniatures::Tank Fight on the Western Front 1916

I'd love to see some new-tooled 1/35 scale British WWI tanks and more 1/35 scale WWI figures. Plastic kit makers should take notice.

Both the gun+crew and the tank fight are dangerous stuff....for my finances that is!
High quality indeed!!

Cheers

Nice kit, though I am biased having done the 18pdr plus Limber and the Ammunition wagon for Resicast. A few details missing from the TW examples...strange as we were using the same reference material, Trewins book on artillery. As I said....a nice kit with superb figures......but excuse me if I show some bias.

Thank you for all the positive comments.

The project took 2 years to complete, so was a real labour of love, but I'm delighted with the results of the detailed gun and the fantastic figures that really bring the scene to life.

Darren,

You have some beautiful figures offered on your site. Hopefully you'll give some thought to maybe doing some French and AEF figures.

I'd love to see some tankers - British, Canadian, French and American - produced for new WWI tanks that are beginning to appear. The Meng FT-17 and the Takom St. Chamond are surely only the beginning. Some high quality figures to go along with them (and the British rhomboids that can't be far behind) would be most welcome!
