These guys really know how to write an interesting review. I like their style and the photos look great as well.

I liked Rudi's reviews of Alpine figures too, but unfortunately he no longer writes for Armorama.

Yes, I think all the photos and background story make the review enjoyable.

Yes it's very well done. He spent a lot of time to lay that out like that and do the photos the way he did. Those types of reviews are very praise-worthy. I mean that very sincerely. However they also take about 4x longer to create and publish due to their nature. Most of the content writers out there simply don't have that kind of time to devote to any type of review. Ask Terry Ashley how long it takes him to do a review in his style and I am sure you will begin to see the time that's involved in in-depth reviews.

If you find more guys like this employee of Osprey, tell them to come write reviews for us.

Cheers,
Jim

That was one of the most readable reviews I've ever read. As good of a rendition as it is of Mr. Wunsche is, I love the other officer with him. His stance, the jacket, facial expression and uniform under the jacket are amazing. Very cool figure. I think I must have him...

It is a very nicely done review of a superb piece of sculpting art.
I feel compelled to add that Wunsche did indeed meet Montgomery but Monty later referred to Wunsche as "political trash".
Just sayin"

This is a lovely set. I especially like the uniform for Wunsche who, from what I read, often wore custom-made uniforms. I have several Alpine sets and I love them. Easy to assemble. I'd love to see some more Afrika Korps figures.

Guys,
Thanks for the kind words.
I'm sure Adam would be excited to read the responses.
