Any PE for German boot hobnails?
I don’t think it exists because it’s a pretty untenable idea IMHO.
-
individual 1/35 sized hobnails would be about 0.3mm in diameter. How would one even remove it from a PE Brass carrier?

alternatively you can do a PE sole, with hobnails included. This has more legs but has limited realism value if you have to bend it too much. Ever see the Eduard PE zimmerit for a kugelblende MG port? It’s ridiculous. It’s shameful that they even ATTEMPT to persuade a modeller to put that on. You’d get some of that same effect with the curved sole of a boot.
Why not just get some very thin diameter plastic rod and salami cut tiny bolts. Then apply them yourself. Better than some PE thing that you’d have to FILE in order to clean off the attachment nub.
Many, many years ago I did see some photoetch soles and heels with hobnails for figures in 1/35th scale, I just can’t remember who done them.
Good, that means I’m not imagining them. I remember seeing them too, but also can’t recall who made them. Some help, huh? [sigh] Google isn’t going to find this either.
Yep! They were on a figure on Armorama or what ever the Name is…I remember them too You can Still buy Foot Prints though… I just saw them for sale on "Great Models Web Store… Find figures then start searching for foot prints!..Hope you like them… http://www.greatmodels.com/ find the search box write foot prints and click on that it will show this one and a bunch more…Have fun looking!..“RC”
