These do look nice, but has anyone here built any? How are the details?

They look great. I really like the stuff Panzer Art is putting out. Builders working on mid/late war winter Eastern Front Projects have so many options. If one was so inclined to build a Kharkov 1943 or Hungary 1944-45 scene have a huge amount of options for morphing and scratching custom figs. I love it. I’d like to see Panzer Art take on subjects like German figures in Zelbahns. U.S. softskin crews and U.S. armored infantry. I think they could do a great job.

These are incredible and I am definitely going to have to snag a few before they're collectables or something else equally price-driven & disgusting to those of us who BUILD.

And, not to be overlooked, “Close combat panzerknacker” from Panzer Art... as seen here, https://www.hobbyeasy.com/en/data/fzvgsx3coob6cva6xf9f.html. Again, these look fantastic. Eight SS dudes in anoraks, milling around wait for the next battle.

They are a lot better than I was expecting in the hand. For me they are just below Alpine and Evolution miniatures standard but I would say the faces on the figures I have are very nice. I think some of the straps and belt buckles could be a little crisper. The bodies are close to Alpines size but for me I think some of the heads and helmet sizes are a bit smaller.
As stand alone figures ( same brand in a group) I think most people will be more than happy,
The good news is I tried a Apine head on one of the bodies and it looked fine but the collar on the figure might need to be thinned on the inside as the Alpine head/neck was a little bit thicker.
The 3D artist has already done figures for Alpine so I guess he knows his stuff
I have the guy with the pipe and a couple of others.

I have built some of them now and they are great but heads are in many cases very small. Specially those extra heads with helmets are tiny ones. Anyway i will keep buying from this company in future surely.
