Paired with one of their GAZ trucks, this is a "diorama in a box." Brilliant. Thanks, Darren.

Now that is great. Diorama in a box and not a single officer pointing at the sky!

You were reading my mind, Mike. Alpine has such great casting and sculpting, but their poses are so static. Action, fellers, we need action!!

In my opinion Miniarm and Masterbox are the best figure companies nowadays

The thing is Alpine biggest market is undoubtedly the figure painting market, where the focus is more on creating one or two stand alone figures or a small vignette. Thats not to say Alpines figure can't be used in large scale diorama's, but the focus is more on a singular subject.

I have to totally agree with you. They are taking the market by storm, if I say. Very good on their part. Always looking forward to their new releases.
