Anyone buy from these guys?

I noticed them off on the "side bar" ad and clicked on there and I just love what I see and would order, but would like to know where I can buy in the US Any clue???

G'day Bruce,

You can buy these figures from Colorado Miniatures .

Although they have a terrific range, you should be warned that their figures are slightly one the large size. I don't have first hand experience with this, but modellers I respect have told me thus...

I have two figures from them sitting right in front of me for a Panther G build, they are very nice and I don't see them being on the large size. When I set them next to some tristar or kit-icluded figs. I can't see a noticible difference in size and I find the tank faces very well detailed.
I have stood beside a real Panther and when I place them next to my model panther they stand at about the right height for a 5'10" - 6' tall person.
I would recommend them personally.

I've purchased several of their kits from Colorado Miniatures and I think they are great and not that large in comparison to other figures.

I know it's nitpicking, and being pedantic, but the average height of the German male during the 40's was 5'8" - 5'10", so those guys would definitely stand out in a crowd as being tall (be called the German equivalent of "Stretch"). That said, if Bruce is looking at the modern Russian figures, they're near perfect.

THANKS! I was actually looking at the 12.7mm MG and some of the accoutrements as much as anything, but the figures are impressive (that guy climbing onto the tank would look good on a KV-2 I have been thinking about), and I am going to order when I get paid tomorrow!

I am specifically looking for an accurate 12.7mm tank MG for a T-55 that I have kitbashed from 3 incomplete kits. The existing 12.7mm gun in there does not correctly fir the '67 Egyptian timeframe and had a distinct lack of detail-I am not satisfied with something so prominent on the vehicle.

Oh, BTW, I find your responses regarding height pretty funny, simply because at a "towering" (???) 5ft. 6in., I pretty much find EVERYONE a bit tall for scale!
