    Disclaimer: I just thought I'd put this here incase someone jumps to conclusions an gets offended by these figures. I do not believe nor endorse the ideas of Facism, Falaghism, Nazism or National Socialism. I denounce hate and the glorification of violence and war in all their forms. Non political.

    These are adult collectible figures that are highly detailed and historically accurate. My figures are all made by DiD Corp

    I looked up their website.

    Interesting figurines.

    Have you made dioramas or do you prefer making the single figurines?

    Whichever, thanks for posting the photos.

    I have never tried making a diorama as I don't have a clue about painting and weathering!!

    I used some Tamiya paints to slightly weather the uniform of this guy. It's my first attempt weathering. Takes the brand new look off the uniform and gives it a more dusty sandy look for the desert.

    Hehe, my first thought was they look pretty cool models alright, second was that Father Ted joke about 'you wouldn't happen to have anything from the allied side would you?' :D

    I prefer the natural looking backgrounds personally, even the plank of wood seems to really bring out the detail on the model (or else its just a good model or photo)

    They are pretty cool tbh. The German uniforms were always of a snazzier style than the allies, and that's why they are popular. Just because you have a preference for a style of uniform does not mean you are leaning towards any group. A hobby is a hobby, and you have some great models there.
