They look really very nice, especially bearing in mind the so small scale....

I know what you mean with the 1/72 Preiser civilians set, but fortunately I have got it... Wink

Absolutely right, I think hard plastic is the best material for figures, allowing not only crisper details at casting, but also facilitating conversions... Surprise

.. and forget the good hard plastic instead of the soft used by lots of others brands for 1/72 subject.

Recently i got the raf ww2 pilots and mechanics set and finally i see something changes with the plastic, but the poses are again few respect to the preiser.

Kepp on posting these good work Yes

Here there is one of my favourite sets on 1/72 Germans.... I hope how much I like it is reflected by the number of conversions I done on it, so I invite you to check the conversions section...
Many of those are inspired by reference images and were achieved by mixing Preiser parts from various sets as well as some scratch-builds...
Quite much work, especially bearing in mind that a single figure implies around 15 parts or more.... :-D

Years ago I reviewed the set, also presenting some of these figs but since that I did more conversions, so now all those are gathered in the same place.
The images show the figures in standard and converted poses and for better reference, the photos in the conversion section show conversions done on the same body.

I hope you will enjoy this post and find it useful.
