Winter (war) is coming!

The first shipment from Baker Company's Winter War kickstarter has arrived!
It consisted of one Finnish and one Russian infantry platoon. Finns have 38 men with one platoon commander, 2 SMG :s and 2 LMG :s. There seems to be max 2 similar poses, so the variation is good.
The poses and propotios are realistic, and there are no superhero bodytypes or overly heroic poses.
EDIT:
After cleaning some of them, its obvious that the propotions are not realistic in some sculpts, luckily not all.


One gripe I have with metal WW2 figures is the sculpting of rifles. They tend to be done too chubby and short, probably to make them more durable. Baker company has done better job in that regard, as the rifle barrels, even if not realistically long, are better than some of their competition. 
Otherwise sculpting is ok, not outstanding, but ok, and the mixture of gear is really good, making the platoon look like from wartime photos.

 The casting is ok as well, there is cleaning and filing to do, but no figure is beyond repairs.
All in all, I'm happy with them, and they will be next in line after the vikings (and maybe dark elves).


..and then there are the russians. In bags.
