Responsibility details are not available.
A miniature 3D-printed accessory from the Czech brand Firma49 in 1:48 scale. It is not a kit and not a model but a faithfully printed pair of period military boots for dressing figures and as an element in its own right for a diorama. Invasion Boots are the high leather boots of the Canadian infantry of the Second World War with the characteristic buckled fastening at the shin, a recognizable mark of Allied equipment from the landings in Normandy in 1944. This is the medium 1:48 scale; Firma49 also offers 1:35 and 1:72 versions.
Boots taken off or thrown aside are a surprisingly strong storytelling element in a diorama. Beside a resting soldier, next to a sleeping bag, at a foot-washing scene or as a small still life in a setting, they give the scene a human dimension and a story: a soldier who has taken his boots off means a quiet moment between fights. The boots can also be used as a replacement for coarsely shaped footwear directly on a figure: the printed part has sharper detail of 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 at the landings on D-Day. That is where the nickname Invasion Boots comes from. They had a leather sole and a buckled fastening at the shin, which replaced cloth gaiters.
The accessory is supplied unpainted and without a figure. It is a small 3D-printed resin part, so work carefully.
