jimbrae Dragon Models have just announced a New, 1/35th scale figure set: 6574 - German Warriors 1940-41. Not, in itself surprising, however what they are doing with it is extremely interesting.. The full reports and re-edited images, can be seen:

Thanks!
montythefirst Great looking set the artwork isn't by Volstad though its not his signature jimbrae I know it's not by Ron Volstad - my point is that thanks to HIS (previous) work in illustration, they've acted as an inspiration for sets such as this :)
Kudos to the illustrator of THIS set though - it's excellent... Dangeroo Very, very interesting! Here's hoping for a US and Brit set! :) ;)
Cheerio! slodder These do look like they have potential and could really set the scene for a good diorama. Uruk-Hai Good call by Dragon. More sets like. Nice boxart that looks like Volstad or at least inspired by.
Cheers alanmac Hi
Great looking set and it seems that Dragon have woken up to the alternatives available with figures rather than what they mainly produce. Step in the right direction, more please and not only German.
I wonder if the choice of AFV in the background has any significance ? (considering the recent releases from Tristar and Bronco)
Time will tell.
Alan Kuno-Von-Dodenburg A must-have set for many modellers, I think. I'm amazed that it's taken so long for such a set to appear.
The Miniart set "Soviet Tank Crew At Rest" includes a Russian "tankist" putting on overalls, but that's the only similar sort of thing that springs immediately to mind. Oh, and a couple of Verlinden winter Panzer crewmen doing likewise.
But certainly an interesting new direction from Dragon. Let's hope it's not just a one-off.
- Steve Shakermaker That's really interesting, I like it. The artwrok is made by Dmitryi Zgonnik, originally for Concord Publications. First, second and fifth from the left are from 'German Invasion of Yugoslavia' book, third and forth from 'Das Reich in France' book. Btw, Stephen Andrew did also exellent artworks for Concord Publications that would be really usefull to follow by DML. AlanL These look good, so they are finally catching on to the possibilities of more generic type figures, which can only be a good thing.
