WOW! This the first time I have ever seen the actual figures looking better than the box art! VERY NICE!

From what I can see in the photos, these figures look excellent! Dragon beware! They are also very useful "generic" sets, so can be used in any number of different dioramas. I particularly like the quilted jackets on the Russians (even though they're not my usual fare), & it looks like the SNCO supervising the German fuel drum loaders is a "Spiess" complete with cuff rings, the first time this has been specifically modelled in styrene to my knowledge. ("Der Spiess" - meaning "pike" - was German army slang for the senior NCO in a unit, like a CSM or RSM in the British army, or Top Sgt in the US. It dates back to the horse & musket days, when sergeants were used as file closers in battle, & used their pikes to dress the lines).

Some excellent looking figures, the German Artillery riders will fit in a multitude of scenes and vehicles and the fue drum guys are a interesting set too.

Really impressive stuff but is there anything modern on the drawing board from this company because I for 1 would welcome it.

Sorry Mike, but no. I'm in regular contact with them and the company's philosphy is, at the moment at least, to concentrate exclusively on WWII subjects. Not to say that further down the line the COULDN'T, but don't expect any change in their release policy anytime soon...

Thanks for the reply Jim,sorry I´ve only just got round to reading it because we´ve moved house & we´re now in Vilagarcia de Arousa. I missed the caldo, the chorizo & the wine.

Mike, Good grief! Villagarcia? That's a BIG change for you

Chorizo, did someone mention Chorizos? My downfall, among many other culinary delights!.

Well Jim the weather´s gonna be a big change but as for everything else,I´m just glad to be back because I did live in (A /La) Coruña for seven years before going out there. By the way the chorizos we get are from Sober in Lugo made by the wifes uncle who rears a few pigs for us, (makes an absolutely splendid wine as well). It counts for something when one is eating meat & you know what it has been fed for every day of its life. What more could a man want ? Maybe an Accurate Armour Land Rover!
