The German set is COOL! My only gripe is that the carriers are not presented in more physical pain. Carrying a body (dead or wounded) in a poncho is excruciating, and you need both hands to do it...especially with only 4 people on the litter.

I wonder what the wounded figure looks like. Any idea on what the poncho is made of? It might look lame if it is plastic, but pretty cool if it is real cloth. They should make up well.

Who´s mummy´s boy then?? sorry couldn´t resist! Definately innovative figures. Love the poses .. and that the camera can be switched out for binoculars, makes this set even more useful. Wonder how they managed the grip of the poncho on the German figures? That could be a very tricky assembly to get right after painting.

I really applaud MB for coming up with innovative figures, and poses. That kit with the Russian guy using the camera, and the other guys posing, is brilliant. Myself I prefer non action poses, as I tend to think action poses look a bit fake. That's just my opinion. This would seem to be a good topic for a poll, hint, hint, "What type of poses do you prefer, action, relaxed, or either?"

There is another one set. Sorry if it is mentioned before.

There's a Soviet tanker set too. These all look great, I hope the figures build up as nicely as the boxart! Very useful, just a little to late for my current project

[/quote] It's a Dublin thing Frank Sometimes I forget that the headline has to fit into so little space Guys, inthe news story there's a More about Masterbox link that will take you to previous stories covering most of their releases and planned releases (They're so prolific we may have missed one or two )

Great sets that will really help making some very nice dioramas. I could see those Russian guys having their picture taken in front of a German or Russian tank. Thanks for the reviews

Some more terrific looking sets from MB - the level of detail on those Soviet troops looks great. Now if only they'd do some more British sets....wasn't there a rumour about some paras?
