    https://www.planetfigure.com/threads/jon-smith-modellbau-new-accessories.149163/

    We all know of JSM so hearing of new releases is particularly welcome , using 3D sculpting they are well known for the accessories that we see in dioram's and on single figures as well adding more to the pieces

    ZWednesday 025.jpg ZWednesday 026.jpg

    All the above are 1/35th scale

    To compare these are 54mm

    ZWednesday 029.jpg ZWednesday 027.jpg ZWednesday 028.jpg

    All are really nice to look at and appreciate the skill in both sculpting and casting quality = VERY HIGH QUALITY

    Now I mentioned Rats earlier....

    ZWednesday 030.jpg ZWednesday 031.jpg ZWednesday 032.jpg


    I had a couple of business cards sent as well these are the rats from them ........same skill in sculpting and casting applies and a must for that scene in WW1 or even a civilian with maybe children playing in ruins with them

    Have a look at this as well for further items available

    https://www.planetfigure.com/threads/ww1-accessories-from-jon-smith-modellbau.81230/

    ....more fine resin available

    Final thoughts

    Excellent additions to a wide series of items , well cast , excellent presentaion



    Highly recommended for all

    I love Jon’s stuff. I have the full 120mm trench system and figures sat waiting to be done. Beautiful pieces and he’s a pleasure to deal with

    An excellent new range, to be sure. What we now need is a terrier to deal with those rats!

    Thanks for all comments regarding the recent JSM reviews from Nap. The idea of a rat-catcher has already been suggested a few times and a small dog (the Germans favoured Jack Russells) would be a good challenge for a future project.
