. . . for Cherilea's Germans. They came in various shades of grey (as Wehrmacht
or Waffen
SS) or green (as Deutches Afrika Korps), and were
reissued more recently by the Marlborough-Dorset-Hill's
enterprise in an interesting shade best called field-turquoise! Six poses
becomes seven with a wardrobe change for the Officer!
Colour variations of both paint and plastic
exist, although I have yet to track-down any dark-grey Germans I know they are
out there. Also a base-shot from one of the reissues, it's the standard full
set of marks you find on a lot of the earlier figures, especially the 60mm
ones.
The DAK chap is the copy, he's smaller
and has lost detail from his pockets, badges & decorations and on his face,
where the monocle has become a nasty scar on his cheek! By pantograph or other
method they copied their own figure and gave him shirt-sleeve order with baggy
shorts.
Comparison with a few other German
infantry; as well as being a useless fighting force, they are two large for
most other figures you are likely to have, except the Marx Warriors of the
World, but they are very different looking.
