MiniArt have just notified us of two (imminent) 1/35th scale releases.
Beginning with figures, this is a set which they first showed at the Nuremberg Show back in february:

35046 - German Feldgendarmerie

Once again, a five-figure set with four standing (and a highly-versatile) seated figure. Two of the figures are 'connected' providing a 'mini-vignette' and included in the set are two figures wearing the long, rubberized greatcoat which is rare enough in 1/35th scale figures (I think the last time it was done in plastic was around 30 years ago with Tamiya's motorcycles).

The other release is:

35506 - German City Building

Another of the company's building kits (done in vac-formed styrene). Once again, the facade of a typical European structure which will find a place in many Dioramas.

Our thanks to MiniArt Ltd. for the heads-up

I got this set of figures last friday, almost 18 months after last post in this thread The general details are good, however I have no experience and no comparison with mainstream manufacturers. This is my second attempt to modelling figures, the first one was with resin. I started a build of the soldier which is holding a sign, far right on the boxart. All major pieces (corps, legs and arms) have mould conections marks and needs cleaning. After joinning them together you will a bit of putty to fill the gaps. Sorry to say, but the most difficult for me was to fill the gap at the guy grions...There will also be some problems with attaching the sign with the molded-on hand to the arms. I'll try to do some pictures showing the progress and other details of the model.

No problem, I'll try to write at least few lines about the model. Do you have any pictures of the un-cutt sprues or premission from Miniart to use their pic from the website? I have already cut off one figure and few smaller parts of the other so I'm affraid I'm not able to provide proper pic of the sprues...

There's no problem with using photos from Miniart website as long as they match up with what was actually in your box I look forward to seeing your review

OK, I'll try to post something this weekend - I'll be at home then so I'll be able to make some more detailed pictures of the parts. There is a good pic of the sprue at the Miniart website which I'm going to use.

As promissed, I send today a review of these figures. I hope it will be good enough to be published.
