I
have received one of STP’s latest releases of a US unfantryman in
1/35th scale (STP 35009. This is a figure sculpted by John
Rosengrant and is cast in a high-grade yellow resin.
The figure comes with separate
helmet, arms (with attachment locater), shovel and knapsack. The
head is molded onto the torso. The mold quality is very well done
and consistent with high-end resin manufacturers .Very little clean
up and surface is void of pinholes.
There are three highlights on this figure which stand out - the
natural leaning pose of the infantryman, the super quality of the
folds in the trousers and the attention to details on the pouches
attached to the belt. The arms are an excellent fit - and the right
hand is molded on to the rifle sling. A very desirable “Bastogne” or
late war winter figure that could be used either leaning on a tank
or a wall.
