Elastolin 70mm German Infantry
The three figures in this picture came from three separate batches. Note that the tone of the colors changed across releases. The officer on the left is actually the conductor of the marching band.
Elastolin 70mm German Flag Bearer
Nice figure to lead the parade. All it needs is his Wehrmacht flag. I wonder if I can get one, or if I may need to scratch build it.
Elastolin 70mm German Marching Band - Part I
The percussionists.
Elastolin 70mm German Marching Band - Part II
The man on the left is also playing an percussion instrument. It just happens to be ornamented quite a bit that makes it resemble the standard on the right, which happens to be quite elaborate.
Elastolin 70mm German Marching Band - Part III
The horns section.
Elastolin 70mm German Marching Band - Part IV
The wood winds section.
Elastolin 70mm German SS on Parade
Officer and enlisted man.
Elastolin 70mm German Infantry on Parade
Two German Army infantrymen. Note that the man with the backpack is the same as the SS man, in the previous picture. He is just painted in a different color scheme.
Elastolin 70mm German Mounted Officer
Elastolin 70mm German Army on Parade - Part I
These are the same figures shown in the previous pictures assembled in a parade scene.
Elastolin 70mm German Army on Parade - Part II
Elastolin 70mm German Army on Parade - Part III
Elastolin 70mm German Army on Parade - Part IV
Elastolin 70mm German Army on Parade - Part V
Elastolin 70mm German Infantry - Part I
These are some combat/action poses. Note how even though they are supposed to be action poses, many of them tend to be standing fairly straight.
Elastolin 70mm German Infantry - Part II
The two guys in the middle are the ones displaying the most movement. Other than the straight bodies, the figures are fairly nice. The fact that they come factory painted/molded in colors is a nice plus. I certainly hope I can get my hands on a few more.
Elastolin 70mm German Infantry - Part III
BTW, you can tell that they were sculpted by a different hand than the parade poses as they are a bit thinner. I tried placing the marching guys from this picture next to the parade figures and you can certainly tell the difference.
Elastolin 70mm German Infantry - Part IV
The spotter will make a good complement to either the machine gunner or the sniper, as the sniper does not have a scope on his rifle.
Elastolin Swoppet
I found this guy by chance. I did not know that Elastolin had released a line of swoppet figures. Unfortunately, I don't have his original weapon, but I hope I can find him something that is not too undersized for him among my assortment of 1/32 weaponry. Also, the colors could be better, but compared to other swoppet figures from other manufacturers, they are not any worse. Anyhow, an interesting and unique figure. I hope to run into the rest of his squad at some point.
