Mario Matijasic build review shows the new Nato in Miniatures figure set "Coffee" [USA016], something modern modelers will appreciate.

Nice concept, nice review.
I like the US soldier, and while the coffee pouring figure isn't bad, I'd rather see him replaced with an Iraqi or Afghan host pouring tea. I think that would be much more useful as many of us have experienced that dozens of times. The last time a European poured coffee for me, she might have had on a shirt like that, but not much more.

Robert... I know the civilian would not [ass for an Afghan with these clothes, but couldn't he be used as an Iraqi? I know a lot of people in Iraq wear generic looking shirts and pants and stuff like that. I know a few Iraqi people who work here in Egypt and look and dress "generic".

I think the civilian actually depicts an Iraqi man. He's not in traditional clothes, which is a big plus in my book...

Amen to that... I would have hated another barefoot Arab wearing a "Galabeyah" and "Shemagh' on his head
