These are two new single figures from Construction Battalion, a fairly
new line from VLS. The majority of releases to date have been individual
construction materials, but several interesting figures are also
available.
The first of of the new figures under review is a worker with a hand
saw who is nicely posed getting stuck into his construction task. This
figure could be used in many different scenes, military or civilian. The
bowl haircut suggests 1920s or 1930s; or possibly wartime Europe as the
ideal venues.
The second figure is a worker with a shovel. He is also well posed and
suggests many vignette and diorama possibilities.
Both are cast in a pale cream coloured resin with minimal holding
blocks. Care will need to be taken when removing the sa and the shovel
from their blocks though.
In summary, these are both great looking and versatile figures in this
new VLS brand, and I look forward to seeing more releases in this range.
