It's good to see Model Cellar re-issuing these figures and hopefully the At Ease set will come around again too. The new French Tanker looks like a very nice figure and if the Mk IV and FTs spark some interest in 1/35 scale WW1 kits then perhaps more WW1 items may appear or be re-issued.

I used their trench sections and at Ease Set in my Somme dio and I think there is a lot of scope for them in the diorama area by adding to the range with sandbag section with dug out entrances incorporated into the section and OP sections to build into the existing sets. Also curved section of trench would be useful.

Good to see another WW1 figure coming onto the scene.

Hi Alan,

Yes, the 'at ease' set will eventually come out too, along with the German with armored crawler. Plus, more brand new figures sculpted by Mike Good.

regards,
Paul

Great news, was searching the net for these Somme Brits only a week ago and could not get them anywhere.!
Paul, hopefully some new Germans/ Allied infantry in fighting poses on the way (not German grenadier/ trench assaulters, seems to be more grenade throwing Germans out there in the WW1 figures than just riflemen or machine gunners).
Looking fwd to the new stuff...

The French tanker is very nicely sculpted and would make a great companion piece for the St. Chamond or the Char 2C.
