Panzerfrau British commander

Hey folks, a little word of warning on this one, bought off eBay's last week, advertised as 1/16 scale however I would estimate closer to 1/13 or 1/14. Compared to my verlinden figures (which are 120mm so overscale) he's enormous, I understand people vary in size but he just looks daft, even in Munich Sherman (in the Cromwell it's worse!)

Tom, Tom, Tom, you should know where to buy British Comanders from....

Point taken Dean

I quite liked the look of the figure and the pose looks good, sadly the end result is so far off in scale it's unusable!

Wasn't 'Captain Hurricane' something of a giant?

I recall seeing him getting stuck in a tank turret with one of his 'raging furies".. (even though he was supposed to be a Commando

)

: Captain Hurricane was a tight squeeze in a tank..

The figure actually looks credible.Judging by the pic, he almost fits in the Sherman... although I expect he looks a size too bulky in the flesh, so to speak..

Pity.

Just checked Ebay out, and the only 1/16 Tank Commander I could find (at a appreciable £50) is a Godin (Dean) model, hand-painted by 'Steg'. Very nice.
Thinking about size though, 120mm comes out to around 6ft 3in, which would have been pretty tall by 1939-45 standards.

Mine are a touch smaller than verlinden. For you guys in Britain and EU shop at Forgebears new site for the unpainted version at a very reasonable $19.89 pounds and for NA I sell mine at $18.50 directly or through ebay...

I would still buy it and use it, better than the unpainted HL tank commander that comes with the Sherman

That painting is impressive, to me anyway, i cant even paint a straight line, let alone anything like that.
