Made in the Federal Republic of Germany; hand painted in Mauritius. I wish to posed them as harvesting sugar cane. I believe sugar cane harvesters did not use scythe but this is a good substitute for the time being. A good source for such large scale figures is Reynauld's in Illinois. When they arrived, I painted their skin
Vallejo Tan Earth 70.874 as the pale skin on these models just makes no sense for Hawaii. Lesson learned - don't be afraid to alter a pricey figure - you know that out of the box it is just plain wrong for your use. One of the harvesters has blond hair - I will paint his hair black as a more realistic portrayal of the workers in Oahu.
