Has anyone bought off of Jeff? Can you tell me where he lives or better yet, what time zone? I want to order but I have to wait for him to send me a paypal $ request..not sure if he's hours behind or ahead of me.

I got one of his 200mm kits. The sculpting is fantastic, very detailed and spot on but the molding and the way he cut the kit up for it is not very well thought out. Need LOTS of putty/Miliput and sanding.

Wash it real good. Lots of mold release. Then enamel primer and I used a mix of acrylics, enamels and oils on mine. Like I said, the detail is excellent. Just need to do a lot of work to hide the joints.

Let me know how looks when you get it. I would be interested to know if they are cut up the same way for casting.

Jeff's figures are highly detailed and normally very well cast. A number of his figures depict running subjects, and they are nicely animated. He has also released a number of figures in a series, which can be posed together in a vignette.
I have purchased from him directly from Hong Kong, and also purchased his figures through Chuck Robinson at The Red Lancers.
Nearly all of Jeff's figures released to date are German subjects, mostly from WW2. He recently announced a 120mm figure of a U.S. Infantryman from WW2.
He is one of my favorite producers of 120mm figures, and I would recommend his figures without reservation.

I second all of this, without hesitation. I've a select few Stalingrad subjects, and Paras from Normandy. I eagerly anticipate each of his releases, and only wish my time allowed for more.

Don't get me wrong! The casting was good, it was the way the figure was divided up to make the molds. on the figure I got (200mm MG34 gunner) the arms were chopped apart at the elbows. Looked like he stuck a wire in the figure and wiggled it around to get them to come apart. The hands looked the same way. The pistol holster was broken apart with about 1/4 of the end molded to the leg and the rest separate. And not a clean line either. The whole figure needed LOTS of miliput to fill in the joints and lines. But, it is an outstanding figure! Looks very realistic and lifelike. I bought from Jeff Directly and he was a pure pleasure to deal with and I look forward to ordering from him again.

You could not find a more reputable and trustworthy person with whom to do on-line business than Jeff. I have dealt with him many, many times over the past couple of years and have never been disappointed in his customer service and satisfaction. Add to that that his figures and selection of subjects are incomparable (in my humble opinion) and you have an unbeatable combination.
Go to Jeff's website. Select the item(s) you want. Send Jeff an e-mail advising him of what you want to order and ask him to send you a PayPal invoice. He'll respond almost immediately and you will receive your order quickly in a carefully wrapped package so the contents arrive safely. I can pretty much guarantee you'll be pleased you've dealt with Jeff.

I have to heartily agree with 5th Mech. I have bought a few figures from Jeff over the years. Excellent service, speedy shipping and the items were very well packed. I highly recommend his figures and his attention to his customers.
