Several new releases from MiniArt Limited with the majority featuring Dioram bases although there's another variant on the Bantam Jeep.
Beginning with the Bantam:

35048 - SOVIET COMMAND CAR with CREW

This another version of their Bantam Jeep - this time with NEW Soviet figures. Having seen them in the 'flesh' this is one of their nicest sets recently.

Onto the buildings. Fot those unfamiliar with MiniArt's building kits, they are produced in vac-form plastic with injection-moulded accessories such as drain-pipes etc. There is one new building and two diorama bases being announced:

35520 - RUINED VILLAGE HOUSE

The two Diorama bases are:

36013 - CROSS-ROADS DIORAMA BASE

36015 - VILLAGE DIORAMA BASE


These include a building kit (sometimes two) and a vac-formed section of terrain. Also included are injection-moulded buiding accessories along with a sheet of street signs.

At the side, images of the contents of some of the new models, at the bottom, from the company website, images of the FINISHED models..

That building has lots of potential. The Soviet Jeep and crew should prove popular, but where the heck is the kit of just the Soviet Jeep crew

I kinda favor the village set more especially with the arch, wide doors and its corners. The cross road set is not to bad and would be pretty good for those looking for an almost instant base.

It says right on the box "... contains models of car & five figures." Attention to detail ...

Bob, A little attention back at you. He was looking for just the soviet jeep crew as a seperate kit .

I don't know who puts their demo models together, but these photos really make me want to go & get these sets! The street scene is great, & I like the farmyard entrance as well - a dio in a box, just add figures/vehicles. I'm tempted also by their recent French street set. I've got one of the MiniArt buildings in my stash, haven't got round to it yet. I forget, do they do just roadway also?
