The Return of the (In)famous Plus Model Girls !!
But the rest of the stuff looks really interesting indeed...

Interesting releases,
Those women wouldn't look good to a sailor, after a day drinking and three months at sea.

Hi

Whatever you say and regardless of the fact Plus Model send this stuff to armorama, in the context of today's standard of resin figures being produced these are terrible.

It's the only thing in Plus Models range that lets them down. The other items across their product range are excellent. They need to source themselves a new figure sculptor.

There are plenty of talented ones on the market as clearly shown by the other companies such as Alpine Miniatures, Evolution Miniatures, Bravo-6, The Bodi, NWM, figures. I'm even a little uneasy about the subject matter that seems to be running through their recent figure releases, maybe it's unintentional, but recent female releases seem to major on ladies offering certain services.

Alan, I do agree with your comments regarding the figures, but, unfortunately, they become the story rather than their many other releases. Nowadays, with the quality of figures improving by leaps and bounds, it's difficult (impossible?) to justify figures of that type on the market - no debate. My only concern is that people see beyond (ignore?) these and look at the other items they produce.

That mess kit is great! These items can make a central story line for a diorama.
Nice job overall.

I think we all have a laugh at the figures, but their other stuff is TOP DRAWER and will get attention.

(Speaking as a consumer and not an editor)
I usually just buy the stuff I love and don't comment on its announcement. I bet the same thing is happening here. If you want to outfit an interior of a building (house, factory, store) PM is the way to go.

Jim,
I think Plus models is at the forefront of aftermarket accessories. Absolute top of the line, interesting subjects, quality casting, et al.
Speaking as an average purchasing modeler, I always look to Plus Models for diorama accessories. And I usually look at their stuff first, because of the esoteric subject matter and kit quality.

But they continue to release (female) figures that are (for lack of a better word) "bad".

Although I am puzzled that they keep coming up with very odd looking figure releases, they certainly generate a lot of forum chatter and remember 'any publicity is good publicity'

Maybe there is a method to their madness and Plus Models is on to something?

Anyway based on their overall line, I don't think many people judge the company's products based on the figures alone.

Cheers,
Charles

hi
Like the Mess sets & the barrels etc, but they can keep the women .

Yes, figures aside the other items look good with the exception of the SMLE rifles that seem to be missing the rear sight and a few opther details:

Here's a pic of the Ultracast set which as you can see are much superior:

Well, I would have to agree. the figures could be better. Maybe part of the problem is that the paint job could have been better. Also, the girl in the blue dress reminds me of the Sienfeld episode where Jerry dates the girl with "man" hands. : )

Gotta agree totaly with Dave...........No ammount of beer will make these two ,sort of female figures, look good. They are about as bad as the one we saw a couple of weeks ago along with the guy that had the thousand yard stare and the shrunk up clothes. Whats up???? Sure would like to see some more well sculpted civilians ....including females. They don't have to look beautiful, but they should at least look human..............Al........

Neat little selection apart from the obviously terrible figures. They make the female Luftwaffe figure in Italeri's Schwimmwagen kit look good!

The stove is fantastic, bring back memories of checking on the cooks and getting my coffee and green eggs in the field.

The officers mess kit is nice.... in all my years we never used it. Too much of a pain plus the officers ate the same way as everyone else.

Now all you need is some drums with smoke stacks coming out of them for the immersion heaters to clean your mess kits

Ahhh.....makes me hungry for a mess kit filled with mashed potatoes in the rain!!....Yummm

Rounds Complete!!

Nice looking sets. Anyone know what time era for the feild stove. I've seen one that mounted in the back of a 2 1/2 ton but can't remember who did it.
