Great set of figures. My personal favourites are the two soldiers one of which is helping the other wounded comrade and the german officer with his arm in a halting gesture.

I do think the American soldier and tank crewman look at little "Village People" in their pose though

What an interesting set of figures. Some of the best poses I've seen for a while and an interesting combination of clothing for winter scenes.

Thanks Pat.

I'm kinda disappointed, since NWM had announced plans for OIF US figures, and instead, their initial release seems to be (drumroll, please), more WWII Germans!

I swear, there must be every imaginable combination of uniforms and poses for WWII Germans out there! Oh well, I'm a bit biased since my interests run towards the modern (specifically OIF/OEF) side of things.

On a positive note, the figures do look great, and that gives me great hope that (eventually) they'll come out with some outstanding modern figs.

Hold on to your pants! These are just a few of the figures that we had already commissioned before we announced our product line. It takes more work and a ton more reference is needed for our sculptors when doing modern subject matter, think about about, these guys have been sculpting WWII figures since day one.
So we are getting them the required info for the modern goodies, any time that you feel in giving me a hand with the research and reference material, just jump in .. Thanks guys and we will be up and running in a short period.

Brother, let me know what you need, and I'll see how I can help!

On second thought, I do admit being a bit more, uh, "aggressive" than I should've been. I have been eagerly awaiting new modern figs, so I was a bit disappointed.

Regardless, as I said, the darned Germans do look really good, and I'm sure they'll sell like hotcakes, and don't take my comments as not wishing you the best on your venture. I do.

Has anyone heard anymore about this company? I bought 3 figures from them at the Virginia Beach IPMS Nationals. I haven't heard anything aobut them since. They just seemed to disappear off the radar. I even called the owner but haven't had my calls returned.

Search around for them. HLJ have a lot of them in stock. I don't know who stocks them Stateside.

Hi dD

Don't know what radar you're using but the news from Chris and his company has been steady and frequent.

If you use the search"radar" here and go to news section and find New World Miniatures on the right hand drop down list it'll show all news items relating and you can then see each item in turn.

I think Chris had some issues with the people he commissioned his company web site from so that isn't coming up at present correctly.

Last release I think they announced was about two weeks ago LRDG figures.

Quite a range considering how long they've been going.

All the best.

Alan

Colorado Miniatures stocks them, and has for quite a while. As Alan said, the website designers were stuffing Chris around, so he pulled the website plug for now - company's still going strong though. He's also got his own forum, which I'll see if I can find later for you (heading off to work shortly).

I picked up 3 of these figure sets at AMPs last month and have since ordered additional figures. I find them to be Well sculpted with little cleanup required and easily assembled. Some very nice poses and Nice details which were just right for a Dio that I have been planning. The customer service at NWM are top notch. milvehfan

I've known Chris since the 80's, and he is a very standup guy. You can usually find him at most IPMS and AMPS shows both national and regonal. He is very receptive to any ideas that you have, but like everyone in business his resources are sometimes limited. I personally would like to see more WW II American Halftrack crews, and have spoken to him about this several times. I have several of his figure sets and can only say they are first rate. Be patient with him and I'm sure he will give all requests/suggestions due consideration. I think there are more great things to come from him and NWM.

His Blog if interested is:

Keep up the good work Chris
