Yeah, it all has to be so thick for durability issues, and when you start stacking that shit it gets bloated. I can't imagine the bandoleer on top of the suspenders. Paint will hide a multitude of sins, so maybe it will all look better with color on it.
I'm starting to think it isn't possible to get good, removable belt and suspenders-based webbing. There are just too many trade-offs with the current technology. 1:6 Master Race wins this round.

The different hats and stuff are cool.
I wonder if you'd need to go with a thin fabric to really get realistic sizes for this stuff?

The missing cockade and reichsadler on the peak cap are major buzz-harshers and something seems of about the M43, though it could simply be the angle of the photo.
The Hiya stuff is scaled fairly well, but I'm not sure about its long-term durability. I still haven't opened mine, but it looks like pretty soft plastic.

Well I'd be lying if I didn't say I wasn't the least bit curious about how this is going to look when they're painted and mass produced. I'm wondering if it will be possible to make some "modern" Red Shadows using the Wehrmacht parts and the like. Still waiting on Communism.
Man... Between these figures and the available WWII vehicles, you could make one killer full basement dio if you had the funds and space.
*waits to see NSA's "for sell"* thread pop up.
*Dang. Haven't seen Xhairs "for sell" reference in a looooooong time.

Should be mutable for sell threads!
Wasn't for sell from the guy who could hit a dime at 100 meters with no scope?

Hmm, was it? I'm not sure. I thought it was xhairs who had all of the typos. The member you guys picked on for spelling/grammar before me. He was like the guy who blows past you on the highway that takes the state trooper heat.
Crap, though. Now I'm trying to remember who the dime guy was. I'm sure one of the other "12" will remember.

Don't think, just do.
Thankfully, they haven't unveiled a German CVC crewman yet, we'll see tonight.
I remember him, but I can't bring the username to mind.
Yeah, I can see Ahnuld. I also see Lou Ferigno.
Derek! Yes! Good times. Did that stuff get lost in The Crush?

I went through the whole third rail section where I assume a thread would be where we were discussing shooting but can't find a title that seems familiar. Eh, oh well.
KS is live!
Early thoughts:
Red Shadows German is an early stretch goal. Some fucked scale issues on the weapons. Dragon StG 44 still remains supreme. Y u no give Type 99 a muzzle cone? Brits and Reds down the line of stretch goals. FJs waaay waaay the fuck down. The feldmütze really should have had "the pinch". Did a Marine, but no trench gun.
All in all, about what I expected on all fronts. I think the web gear will look better over soft goods, but it'll be a fucking long wait to find out.

I thought I was the only one. I suspect there will be some improvement down the line.
The more I look at all this stuff, the more of my rivet counting autism comes to the surface, and no one wants to hear that rant.
They look thin. The first stage is funded. I find it funny that they seemed to think people wanted Japanese more than germans. I get it, we have a lot of germans from old lines, and not as many Japanese...but I think they'd be further down if germans were offered first and Japanese as stretch goals.
I think that's exactly why then line the Japanese up first, all the Germans that have come before, though I don't think they've researched what has actually been produced in 1:18. I'm disappointed the Russians are so far down the list. Not that I have any doubts that the whole damn pot won't get funded.
I know it's cliche, but I really wanted the Airborne to be up higher. I'd put together a whole BOB squad if they were more readily available.
