1/16 WWI French Infantryman With Pipe

The 1/16 WWI French Infantryman With Pipe by Dynamo Models offers a strikingly realistic representation of a French foot soldier during the First World War. Designed for serious modelers and collectors, this highly detailed resin figure kit captures the character and mood of the trenches through its relaxed pose and expressive features.

This figure depicts a French Poilu—as the infantrymen were affectionately called—wearing the iconic Adrian helmet, heavy wool uniform, and puttees. The infantryman stands in a moment of calm, smoking a pipe, a small but powerful detail that brings life and emotion to any historical diorama. His posture and facial expression evoke the quiet endurance and humanity of soldiers living through one of the most brutal conflicts in modern history.

At 1/16 scale, the figure stands out for its size and the level of precision in the sculpt. Details such as uniform textures, gear straps, facial wrinkles, and the pipe itself are finely rendered in high-quality resin, making it an ideal subject for advanced painting techniques like washes, dry brushing, and weathering.

This figure is ideal for pairing with WWI trench scenes, stand-alone vignettes, or as a centerpiece in a broader Great War-themed display. The inclusion of the pipe adds a personal, almost cinematic touch—reminding us of the men behind the uniforms and battles.

Whether you’re a military history enthusiast, a model builder specializing in WWI figures, or a diorama artist seeking expressive and story-rich characters, this kit offers authenticity, detail, and creative opportunity.

Note: The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue and paints are not included.
