My good friend, Richard Pearce, recently sent me a bundle of stuff from his stash, including some Wolf 1/35 figures. I had more or less given up on anything smaller than 1/16, mainly because of my deteriorating eyesight, but these looked nice and clean so I thought I'd give them a go.
The first two are Volkssturm figures:
As you can see, these are beautifully sculpted and very cleanly cast. Richard has added an alternative head for the first figure and included items to make a promising base.
The third figure was a Fallschirmjager from Crete, 1941. I decided to move him to Tunisisa in 1943 and bought another Wolf figure, a DAK man with a pet monkey, in order to make up a vignette.
I've painted the Fallschirmjager:
By way of excuse, I don't think 1/35 is my forte, nor does it suit my style, but this was great fun to do. I haven't coming across this manufacturer before, but the quality of these figures is up there with the best.
