Except or the camera work. They need a stabilized camera or a track or something.

Lol sounds like typical corporate muzak. I guess it did it's job though; I clicked just to hear what you were talking about

Agreed they need a new camera. The DGI handheld steady cam is only a few hundred bucks and it'll help them a lot.

Nice to see all their buildings made up. I've got to say they're one of my favourite manufacturers these days. Not only because of their buildings which are a first really but their figures are top notch. They're interestingly posed and detailwise I'd say that they're on a par if not better than DML who seem to have lost the initiative these days due to complacency on their part. I've not built any of their vehicles yet but same again, a really interesting variety that's not been done before. They seem to be becoming a diorama builders nirvana as you can buy a quality vehicle, figures and a building in one go to display. They just get better and better.
Nothing is so exhilarating in life as to be shot at with no result.

A great showcasing of their quality and versatility. Although some of their products could be said to be over-engineered, and downright difficult.

MiniArt are doing very well, and they lead the styrene figure innovation. but their kits aren't in the same zip code in terms of quality and accuracy to Meng's and now Takom. Let's not over-hype a very good company that's on the upswing and (given what happened in eastern Ukraine) shouldn't even still be in business. My hat's off to them.
