Pretty neat, can be used for digging in a field piece, or cleaning up after a bomb run. AND no one is pointing!!!

Of course not Dave, there's no officers amongst them to direct traffic !! Good looking set of figures, they would be very handy for a "pre D-Day" beach diorama. Cheers Pat !! jjumbo

Thanks for POINTING it out Dave! I couldn't find what is wrong with this picture. It feels like something is missing though… Very nice kit. Thanks for info Pat! A.

Hi Pat sorry to be a pain but Jim Rae did a piece on these a while back as a news item, with more pictures. sorry Alan https://armorama.kitmaker.net/news/5163&mode=&order=0

Sure, but now we have the sprue shots that means these are eventually going into production - or soon at least. Versatile kit - just wish more of them were actually in work fatigues, and not service or field dress.

No worries Alan. Jim usually does the Miniart news and would have approached the story differently but Miniart sent these to me as Jim is away and I missed the earlier news item on these. I remember buying a similiar set in 1/48 scale about a million years ago from Bandai? IIRC there was a guy climbing a ladder in that one.

There's not a single pair of binoculars present either. Miniart is showing normal activity by normal people. What are they thinking. They'll have to make an entire set of finger pointing observers just to get back to conformity. It's really nice to see a group of figures come out like this. And nice too to see that they aren't stuck in the four figure rut. Now if they could just get some allied figures to match as I'm never satisfied and always want more.

This set and the German civilians set have me thinking about a project( that I can never live long enough to finish )
