Looks like the jeep figures will be a good set. Is it me, or do in the build up do they all look like they are frowning/scowling?

I think they look rather upbeat and cheerful.

The building series are really expanding nicely, along with their figure sets.

Nice work MiniArt. The figures are must haves. The buildings are great, and need to be in the wings for quick orders.

Hey guys,
Yeah, they all look like real miserable "Sons of B's".
The MP standing with the Garand on his shoulder looks particularly unhappy.
Great set to fill out those Jeeps, Dodge WC's, trucks and ambulances in my stash.
I can hardly wait for MiniArts British Jeep crew.
Cheers

I like the look of the French street, it's almost a shake & bake diorama! That bakery looks just like the one in the famous Normandy photo with a Stug's barrel stuck through the front window! I wouldn't like to get on the wrong side of that "snowball" with his hand on his holster, he looks pretty mean - he must be one of Patton's boys with the collar & tie, & he's a first sergeant to boot!

Hello Jim

A versatile new figure release. I look forward to pictures of the sprue. Can we expect a review of the set from you soon?

Let's hope we can see a decent set of US or British tank riders soon.

John
