Has anyone began assembling the new Victrix 28mm WW2 Germans? I got my set a week ago and have been furiously working on them. Just beautiful figures. There's a review on YOUTUBE if you don't know about them. I'd be interested in see what other are doing with theirs.

Thanks

I've got some on order and am looking forward to working on them when they arrive.

They're really the nicest, most detailed set of plastic German figures I've seen. Most of my figures are Empress. These are similar to those in size, and the detail is amazing (think Tamiya like quality). I'm hoping for some Allied figures but have not heard much about future releases.

These look absolutely fantastic. I almost bought in but angry memories of gluing fiddly pieces stopped me. Not in to the plastics anymore.

I'll just be watching for wargaming eye candy but I will not be joining in.

With that said I would still like to see your finished product.

I can't stand assembling figures. I can never get the arms holding weapons to look natural.

I have fond childhood memories of Airfix 1/32 Germans and Paras. No assembly required of course. If someone produced something similar in 28mm I'd be all over it.

Edit: a few years ago I bought a box of PSC Soviet heavy weapons. Just what I was looking for. They don't seem to have 28mm products now.

Well gluing arms in place is a bit of a challenge with the Victrix set. I think the Perrys and Warlord do it best with some preformed arm sets affixed to weapons. Still, I like to modify my figures, so they all look a little different. These lend themselves to that.
