Oh my!

Great looking figures. At last some more crew members for jeeps.
You've done a very fine work on these, Hisham. Is it the original heads that goes with the kit?

Thanks for sharing it

Simon, NOooooooooooooo. These are not my work. This is a pic from the Miniart site of a new set that will be released soon. Sorry I didn't make that clear.

Thanks Hisham. The centre MP looks more a British officer to me!
They definitely have that 'Tank' look to them yeah!? That "don't mess with me" look...
Good stuff

Why do these fellas look so angry? You'd think they had been bouncing around in a jeep all day...

Thanks for the heads up. I bet the two seated figures would look good driving any wheeled vehicle.

I like the set. The MP in the middle looks like he's about to whip out his pistol & shoot someone who just pissed him off. And what's up with the seated guy with no neck?

Wonder if they were all supposed to look like someone pissed in their Wheaties or if that was an accident. Guy who designed them must have to had to get them out on a SERIOUS deadline.

Jim,
Not everyone is like some of us older guys who sit at the computer while waiting for glue and paint to dry. Some of these younger guys do other stuff than build models and cruise the model makers web sites for new stuff to get into the stash.


P.S. Not trying to be smarta__. Just trying for a little humor.

No accident -that's a typical military police look, we had classes on achieving it at the MP school

We were also encouraged to go for that no neck look. The sculptor has obviously been on the wrong side of the MPs during his service
