We've been given access to some very special images of the In-Progress shots of what will be a future release from Resicast.
As they say, a picture tells a thousand words although there are a few details to add.

Gerard De Troeye from Belgium is currently working on this set of Five, Resin figures in 1/35th scale which will, in a few months time, be released by Resicast.. As can be seen, the crew is designed around the Tamiya 25 Pounder although, with the announcement of a NEW model of the gun from Dragon it will be equally appropiate for THAT. Of course artillery figures, with minimum modification, can be used in almost any piece, so hopefully 2011 will see a range of British artillery will help to boost the sales of the set!

The News Team on Armorama would like to express our grateful thanks to Patrick Bernier for his permission to use the images!

Hi Alan- good point. I think part of the reason may be that these are in resin which will make them expensive and possibly out of reach for many considering the economic climate. I think when people make wish lists they are thinking in plastic. As for the figures themselves I really like the officer and hope is offered seperately. I also like the loader in the overcoat. There is something about the way the leather jerkins are modelled that doesn't convince me 100%

A couple of good points by both Alan and Pat. Personally, i'd prefer that they were in plastic as well - inevitably, in resin, they ARE going to be an expensive set. As this year we ARE going to see a NEW 25 pounder in plastic (although the prime mover seems as far away as ever) it's going to be really welcome.

I suspect Dragon will tweak their 8th Army set and release it as a crew

Hi Pat and Jim, You could be right on teh cost issue, I suppose it depends if they are available as a set or separately. Howver, I've seen the same apathy when plastic figuers have been released so that is pretty standard for some reason. Pat, I agree DML will probaly release their figs as a separate set, they would be mad not to . Is your thinking on the leather jerkins connected to the seems? My Dad aquired one of these at some point and it looked pretty much the same with a seem down the back and a triangle shape on the top left hand shoulder. Made form several skins rather than a whole. There is good potential with these, I'd like to have see the arms of the 2 loaders spaced from the bodies a bit, would have made good folks digging in , although that potential is still there. There seeems to be a lot happening artillery wise which is good, just need some towing vehicles now. What are you're thoughts on a 6pdr? Must be getting close! Al

The arm looks a little thin on the layer (2nd from right figure). But the more Brits the better I say. Resin or no. If they sell maybe some plastic manufactures will try some Tom

True resin figures aren't cheap , $10 - $15 each , so a six figure set might set you back 75 or 90 bucks depending on your country of purchase .But would you not spend as much on pe,resin add-ons and tracks / wheels ,etc to fine- tune the latest release Tiger or Stryker ? Guess I better start saving my allowance .....

It's a work in progress so that arm isn't finished

A German paper Panzer comes out and its 20 blogs a Brit Cruser or yank Lee and every rivet counter is out in force no wonder the manufactureres think tice or more!
