I am sure i recently noticed photos on the Masterbox web page ( "In Progress" section).For a second set of US troops in Iraq.They don't seem to be there now, was i dreaming. They do have a set of Modern US tankers with Local tribesman planned. Antyone explain what has happened.

I saw those the other day too; it's possible they weren't supposed to be posted but were any way. Was a pretty good looking set.

For some reason one of those tankers reminds me of Andy Griffith. I really like the detail on the shepherd's hand. I'll probably get the set just for that.

There were also a set of modern infantry (Iraq or A'stan) with working dogs when this was last reported on. It is now missing from their web page.

The tankers do look good though.

I checked it today, it seemed that they made a mistake where they have the USMC figures with dog pic instead of the Modern US soldiers on the "In progress" page, but when you click it, it will direct you to the actual pictures of the modern US figs. Here is the link:http://www.mbltd.info/35154.htm

That is them. It is simlpy called "Patrolling."


I'm glad they are still in the mix. They look pretty nice.

The new set with the dog looks good. I just wish that Master Box would get the weapons right for a change. Some proper M4's and M249's would really be appreciated. If they could just get their product to look exactly like their box art....

Gino, the dog looks dead.

Keigan, that's why we have Live Resin.

I will get the one with the sheep as this would be useful for New Zealand military subjects.

Glad to know that I wasn't dreaming. Realise that these figures are not to the standard of Live Resin but you get six figures which on the basis of the picture look pretty good

Just noticed one of them is a SAW gunner; no one makes a M249 do they? Maybe Live Resin but I can't think of anyone else.

I think that both TANK (THAK) and NATO in Miniature make the M249:

Ah good to know Damon, haven't really looked much at Tank or NATO In Miniature. What I've seen my Tank was pretty expensive and the put me off I guess.

Thank God for companies like Live Resin since none of the injection molding companies(at least Trumpeter managed to include the ParaSAW in one of its' figure sets) seem to be aware that the M249 has changed over the years since its' introduction... I'm getting spoiled by the weapon and accessory sets that are being churned out to go with the modern figures.

The live resin stuff is the best quality I have seen by far. I have bth the Tank and the LR m249 sets and the detail on the LR is much more crisp. Cannot wait for Yaroslav to make more figures and some IDF stuff too. Cheers.

I noticed that too. Live-Resin seems to get the barrel length, handguards and proportions correct, not to mention the detail of the Pictinnany Rail correct.
