Introduction

Wine Growers by NOCH, set 36614, is a new group of six N scale figures. This prepainted set of six figures compliments NOCH's range of N scale winery family: Winery "Hauser-Bühler", vines, and a winepress.

Wine Growers

Wine Growers are each packed in form-fitted slots in a cradle. It is secured in a hard plastic case designed to stack or hang from a peg.

Each figure is cleanly molded. Each is a one-piece model. I see no injection-molding flaws. The six figures are:

Man with back vat
Man shouldering vat
Man handling pole
Woman with apron
Man leaning on pole
Man holding spigot

The poses look good and the variety of tools add interest.

Detail

For 1/160, these figures display good clothing and facial features. The tools look good albeit, understandably, over scale.

Each figure is painted at the factory. NOCH paints separate clothing details instead of simply slathering one color across the clothes and gear.

A Toast!

Wine Growers is a fine set of tiny grape growers. I really can't complain about the oversized tools because there isn't a practical way of making them to-scale without raising the price unreasonably.

I am impressed with this figure set and believe they will look great amongst NOCH N scale grape vines, around their N scale press, and around the grounds of the N scale winery.

Happily recommended!
