Thanks!

Thanks for the review, Mario.

While the subject is not within my field of interest, the figures look good and interesting. Despite the "tank riders" label, these guys should look good in a more relaxed setting as well

Those figures look awesome. The first couple guys made me cold just looking at them. Great job by the sculptor.

those do look really good

Thanks guys for publishing the review. I had fun building these figures and can't wait to paint them.

Anyway, here's a picture of the figures riding on BMP-2 I found on HobbyEasy website:

Fantastic figures.

Lovely sculpting and some great, natural poses - although the guy on the back of the BMP-2 maybe looks a little stiff.

They inspire me to maybe make a foray into modern Russian armour ( a completely new area for me) just to give them a showcase.

Great review Mario !

I agree, great review and the figures look awesome, but the guy on the back of the BMP-2 does look stiff and out of place.

Maybe if his head and body was turned to the front of the vehicle it would look a little more natural.

Cheers

I'm going to use those figures with BTR-80, and I was even thinking of getting the other 4 MasterClub walking figures to make a Chechen war diorama... but it would make an already big project even bigger.

Glad you like the review guys.

Mario

These figures are very,very good. I really don't do the russian thing, however I would be keen just to do these figure just to have a go at painting them.

they are a nice set of figures, they also do some walkig, does anybody know who carries the line of figures or were to order them from


cheers

Keith

I ordered those from HobbyEasy. The figures were $10 each and the shipping only about $5. Very good service...

Mario

Andy at Historica Books carries them as well.

I have the first four and the second four on the way.

I wish I could see the painted figures riding any Russian AFV.
But where?

Hi,

These are old figures now been around for years! but they are superb. Sculpted by the guy that does Evolution Miniatures figures. They also do an Afgan era set for the BTR 60/70
I used to sell them but don't anymore given up trading I hear there is now a US distributor but hobby easy is the cheapest he sells them cheaper than I could buy them trade!
