Plastic Platoon First Division Wehrmacht
The Siege of Leningrad lasted over 872 leading high causalities on both sides. Plastic Platoon has already done two sets of Russian soldiers. Today we will look at the first of two sets First Division Wermacht. The division was part of the Siege of Leningrad until March of 1943.
Germans set
The set as always is made up of six figures. Two of the figures form a machine gun unit. This is the second time recently that a company has done Machine gun being by another german soldier. The other company that did this type of pose as Mars.

Here is a closeup of the two man machine gun group. I like always the detail that Mikhail has done on his figures. The German soldier holding bipod of the machine gun pain of holding it.

The other four poses are as follows:
3. charging with an automatic weapon as the waist.
4. Officer pointing with his right hand. His left hand is holding a Russian submachine gun.
5. Advancing with bayonet rifle. He has lost his helmet and is wearing a field cap with a muffler around his head.
6. Standing firing rifle
back side of figures
Here is the backside of the six figures. I do not know when they will be available. The next post will show Seventh Division Luftwaffe.

Collection Time

Knight
Here is a 45mm man at arms with a crossbow. he is 455mm and factory painted. No idea who made him.
Civilian figures
I like to get civilian figures. The one on the left is on a pencil sharper, but he could standing on a stone to get a better view of his audience. the other figure has a bottle of wine and food. I wonder what set he went to?

    The crossbowman should or looks as been made by PZG from Poland ,but i need corroborate with my poses as their medieval line cover many centuries warfare and they have over 20 different poses with crossbows.i manage get most poses in foot of medieval range with plenty years as hard to get complete,they are fragile ,specially weapons ..
