1/35 Civilian – Refugee Woman and Bicycle

Historical Context & Theme

The 1/35 Civilian – Refugee Woman and Bicycle captures the humanity and hardship of the 1940 French Exodus, when millions fled southward during the Battle of France.
This sculpt represents a French woman on the road with her bicycle — a symbol of endurance, resourcefulness, and hope amidst wartime chaos.

Dressed in period-accurate civilian clothing, she reflects the quiet courage of countless refugees who carried on despite fear and exhaustion. The combination of calm motion and historical accuracy makes this figure a poignant representation of France’s civilian experience during World War II.

Figure Details & Realism

This 1/35 scale 3D printed resin set by Dynamo Models includes one female civilian figure and one detailed bicycle, both sculpted with lifelike precision and emotional realism.
The figure’s stance and clothing folds convey natural movement, while the bicycle is modeled with accurate wartime design — featuring fine spokes, frame details, and pannier elements.

The high-resolution 3D resin printing ensures outstanding sharpness and texture, from the fabric creases and shoes to the metallic surfaces of the bicycle. The expressive posture and balance between stillness and motion make it an exceptional addition to both storytelling and static dioramas.

Diorama & Display Use

Perfect for Battle of France, civilian evacuation, or occupied France dioramas, this set can be placed along rural roads, in convoy scenes, or beside vehicles and gendarmes.
It pairs seamlessly with the Refugee Man on Bicycle and his Friend for creating emotional group scenes, or stands beautifully on its own as a centerpiece depicting the resilience of French civilians in 1940.

Material & Customization

Manufactured in high-quality 3D printed resin, the set provides clean casting, crisp surface detail, and minimal preparation before assembly.
Assembly and painting are required. Glue and paint are not included.
Painters can achieve realistic effects with soft fabric tones, weathered metal highlights on the bicycle, and subtle shading to emphasize mood and atmosphere.

Who It’s For

Ideal for WWII collectors, diorama builders, and historical modelers, this figure set brings an emotional and narrative depth to early-war displays.
It complements both civilian and military-themed dioramas, offering a human counterpoint to the machinery and movement of the 1940 campaign.
