Hi Julien

I Lifted it from this link in this thread, though there are red Xs on several pages

http://armorama.kitmaker.net/forums/113623&page=1

After seeing what you did with the Naval Infantry, I hope it's not long before you get your hands on these.

Here are the two links.Soviet Jeep crew
Soviet Tank riders

I just bought the new Miniart Marching Russian Infantry set which are fantastic. Miniart and Masterbox are rapidly becoming my favourite Model companies.

I agree with the Miniart statements .... those tank riders and jeep riders look so cool. Me definately wants.
The guy who paints the Miniart figures does an excellent job each time ... good and all, as they are ... they look even better when he paints them. On the other hand, Masterbox could learn, a thing or two from them. Great figures, but they really should push the boat out a bit more, when presenting their figures.

Hi Frank

I agree, the Masterbox ones could use better presentation.

In the right hands they can look great. Have you seen what somebody did with the Europe Set on the gallery of their web site.

You can see they've done some work on the figures, check one of the girls dresses but even so....

Excellent

The guy that paint these figures is Vladimir Demchenko a contributor of this page and a friend mine. He is also the guy that sculp most of the figures for Mig productions.
