New 1/32nd scale Figure series

Kellerkind Miniatures has just created a new series of 1/32 WWI figures.

Kellerkind Miniaturen - Willkommen (Index)

A mechanic touching up the paint work:



Kellerkind Miniaturen - Mechaniker 2 (mit Pinsel)

A mechanic after heavy duty work



Kellerkind Miniaturen - Mechaniker 1


and, at last, a pilot who has just arrived at the airfield. No, his name is not Bruno.



Kellerkind Miniaturen - Pilot


I have them already and the details are really stunning. I have to admit, that some advice from me has gone into the realisation, but the sculptor's work is really outstanding. And at 15€ a piece they are more than affordable, I think.

The next will be a pilot with a Heineke gear and RFC figures are in the pipeline also. Martin really fell in love with WWI airmen.... ;-))

Very good ones! I always thought that adding figures to the aircraft models really improves it.

Even more important, it adds a sense of scale to the scene.

I particularly like mechanic 1; he seems based on von Richthofen's chief.

Heisa Hopsasa!

These are wonderful! Proper anatomical proportion, realistic stance and boy language, SUPER facial detailing and draping of fabric. Clearly the artist is a sculptor. Bravo. Please continue the line!!!

Cheers from NYC,
Michael

Is it me, or does the painter resemble a certain Corporal Schicklgruber?

Lovely figures

I have these figures also and I agree they are really well sculpted and flawlessly cast.

I'm very pleased to hear that Martin will be producing more WW1 airmen and ground crew. I'd love to see an Adjutant type a la Karl Bodenschatz of Jasta 11 fame or Kettering in The Blue Max. I'll be buying them all. Hope he can do a few Frenchmen as well as RFC and German.

Regards

Syd
