Rather than jumping 'up', they look to me like they are jumping 'down' - perhaps in to a trench or wadi. They look good, lots of possibilities, but certainly in need of some conversion to get the exactly right.

You guys watch way too much TV To my eyes they are obviously jumping into a German trench or sangar. While the soldiers of the Eighth Army may not have had the "agility of a professional wrestler" or been able to jump six feet in the air, they did run a couple of hundred yards or more across the desert sand and heat and engage in close quarter fighting with the Afrika Korps and I'd imagine if the guys from the Guinness book of records had been observing they would have seen world records broken in terms of agility or heights jumped You do what you have to do despite what your body or brain is telling you when push comes to shove They should lose the German with the grenade, maybe put a guy struggling to fit a magazine on an MP40 or trying to get a pistol out of a holster. I like them but I am dissapointed with the 8th army webbing and hope they correct it before the set goes into production.

OK....OK....Who knows? Maybe they are jumping into a ditch. As for too much TV, welllllll, not much good to watch these days, but saw a great Nick Nolti film called A Farewell to the King. I will probably get these figgies and jump them into a ditch ........Al

I agree about the DAK soldier with the grenade, seems a little out of place for the "scene". Regardless of the minor quirks, I am really looking forward to getting my hands on this set, and am looking forward seeing what the other sets are going to consist of with equal enthusiasm.

The action poses are top notch , however may have been better suited to commando's or rangers training with an instructor standing by hands on hips very very welcome all the same

I don't know why people don't find these poses suitable for the 8th Army- it wasn't all swatting flys and drinking tea they did actually do some fighting If anyone from MasterBox is rewading this here is an excellent on line resource to 1937 pattern British Webbing- pay particular attention to the buckles on the web belt. karkeeweb

That doesn't seem like 6 feet. More like 3-4 ft. BTW, maybe Nate Robinson served in Africa?

Well , Joris....the guys feet are maybe three or four feet off ,but the majority of the body is at or above shoulder height of the other guy. I sometimes think that i enjoy all this back and fourth with silly opinions as much as i do seeing all the great work that gets posted. It's kind of fun so long as nobody gets frazzled.... ... .........Al

you could have a lot of fun posing those figures in a diorama. Need fixed bayonets though...
