Another great set from MiniArt . If you left out the weapons , gave them minimal personal kit , like just a canteen and bread bag , they could be used as POWs

This is a great offering that provides something MiniArt has been specialising of late the unexpected. This is a great set depicting troops doing what they did for more time than they were fighting.

I like these a lot!

It's interesting to me that the drawing is dated 2017. I wonder how the process works? Does someone do a drawing and then the plastic gets sculpted?

The sprue shots are not showing the inside of the helmets. I wonder if the liner detail is in there like the box art.

The sprue shots indicate slide moulding for the helmets so they have made an effort to replicate the interior. Time will tell how well they did.

Looking at the sprue shots, four figures and 7 helmets? But on a good note, the MG ammunition belts are molded to conform to the figure. Hope they turn out as good as they look.

The sprue shots look fine to me. Plus, "helmet hair" can look neat.

I have the miniart German infantry weapon set which contains a lot of the weapon sprues, the helmets have the liners molded in so I'd imagine it would be the same with this set. Really like the sets miniart are producing now for figures they're my go to now Dragon used to be great especially when they did the Gen 2 figures, such a shame they stopped and have been eclipsed even their armour kits are not a patch on kits released in the early 00's

Ok, good to know. Probably so then.
