Thanks!

Definitely useful, and save me trying to sculpt my own (too small and fiddly). In Australia we called them 'flying rubbish bins', along with seagulls.

the separate feet are a nice touch. touche, Miniart!

What, no yellow bellied sapsuckers?

Those are really cool. I was looking for some scale pigeons a few years ago when I was wanting some for a WWI vignette. Going to have to order a couple of sets of these to have on hand.

Thank you Tat,

Are they available yet ? Is so where can we get them ?

Hope seagulls come next.

Maybe some turkey vultures and buzzards! Wayne

need decals for those markings....

Oh boy will these come in handy! Finally that ornate village fountain that I bought from Custom Dioramics years ago can have pigeons clustered around (and on) it.

This looks like a very useful set. Birds are everywhere in real life, and they are under-represented in scale modeling as elements of the stories we are trying to tell in styrene. I like how Miniart seems to be trying to fill in the blanks, some big, like the T-54/55 series, and and some little but still important, like all the furniture, glassware, tool sets, etc. They seem to be taking a page from the dollhouse hobby, maybe even creating a new scale and market for non-military subjects in 1/35.
