Responsibility details are not available.
A miniature 3D-printed accessory from the Czech brand Firma49 in 1:35 scale. It is not a kit and not a model but a faithfully printed pair of period military boots for dressing figures and as a stand-alone element in a diorama. Invasion Boots are the high leather boots of the Canadian infantry of the Second World War with the characteristic buckled ankle closure, a recognizable piece of Allied equipment from the Normandy landings of 1944. Firma49 makes the accessory in three scales; this 1:35 one is the largest, for large figures.
Boots taken off or cast aside are a surprisingly strong narrative element in a diorama. Beside a resting soldier, next to a bedroll, at a foot-washing scene or as a small still life within the setting, they give the scene a human dimension and a story: a soldier who has taken his boots off means a lull between the fighting. The boots can also serve as a replacement for coarsely shaped footwear on the figure itself, as the printed part has crisper detail in the lacing, the buckles and the soles.
The boots appeared in the Canadian army in 1942 and were made famous by the units of the 3rd Canadian Infantry Division, which wore them during the landings on D-Day. That is where the nickname invasion boots comes from. They had a leather sole and a buckled ankle closure that replaced cloth gaiters.
The accessory is supplied unpainted and without a figure. It is a small 3D-printed resin part, so work carefully.
