MiniArt keeps securing its position as one of the power houses when it comes to the figures that either stand alone or man our latest armoured fighting vehicles. MiniArt has announced a new figure set in the works and it is some bare chested Germans which a number of people have requested at various times. Take a look inside for details.

Something that has been requested for years. Wonder why it takes so long sometimes. Nice one MiniArt. Will be interesting to see how they are moulded ... will arms be seperate or molded in place?

Hope the figures have complete heads with hair so they can be displayed without the helmet. That way they can "leave the military" easily

Very nice work MiniArt.

Very good single stand alone vehicle diorama .

This company is really showing the initiative and producing tank crews with the vehicles .Outstanding effort .

Maybe next a tank crew in winter outfits ......

I think you'll find that set was produced by Masterbox. Understandable mistake, done it myself.

I'm with you, Vandy. All the pics I've found of Elco crews had at least half of them shirtless, and yet Italeri provide them wearing full kit, and all dressed the same!

once again a proof of miniart ingeniosity !
This set will satisfy any modeller who ever dreamed of building soldiers in short, but never dare to sculpt it (because human anatomy is not that simple) because there was NO offer in the market
personnaly it will allow me to make the legionnaire in indochinian paddy I've planned to do since 2 years..
Best,
Julien
ps : I'll hope will see some master of all those announcements from the Nurember toy fair report
