1/35 Liberation – Little boy

Historical Context & Theme

In war, history isn’t only told through uniforms and weapons—it also lives in the quiet expressions of civilians, especially children. This little boy represents the everyday lives impacted by the chaos of WWII, particularly during the liberation of France in 1944. Whether placed in a ruined street, watching tanks roll by, or beside celebrating civilians, he offers a deeply human touch to your diorama.

This figure captures the subtle emotions of childhood during conflict—curiosity, uncertainty, and the quiet resilience that carries through generations. His presence brings emotional balance to scenes otherwise dominated by military elements.

Figure Details & Realism

Sculpted in detailed 1/35 scale, this high-quality resin figure comes with two different configurations: one pose shows the boy standing calmly, while the other shows him walking or running forward. His attire—typical of a 1940s European child—includes short trousers, a sweater or shirt, and basic shoes, offering the perfect canvas for realistic weathering and paintwork.

Facial details are delicately rendered to convey emotion without exaggeration, allowing for subtle storytelling through paint and placement.

Diorama & Display Use

This figure is ideal for adding narrative depth to dioramas involving Allied troops entering liberated villages or towns. He can be positioned alongside military vehicles, beside celebrating civilians, or observing soldiers with cautious wonder. Use him to show the impact of war on the youngest and most innocent—or as a quiet reminder of peace returning.

Material & Customization

Printed in high-resolution resin, the figure is easy to clean, assemble, and paint. The dual-pose option gives flexibility in scene building. Modelers can alter mood through color choices, slight repositioning, or adding accessories like rubble, flowers, or a backdrop of buildings. His neutral design allows for placement in a wide variety of WWII or post-war settings.

Who It’s For

Ideal for intermediate to advanced modelers who aim to tell human stories through their work. Perfect for historical diorama builders, collectors, or anyone interested in representing civilian life during WWII.
