Thanks a million Scott for uploading this. When I read some comments from some guys on ML diorama forum, I had to check it out.
The only difficult part of this, is putting the 2 vacuumformed halves together. The main part of the building is assembled now, so IŽll be writing a build review in the next few weeks. All questions are welcome!

Hi Kevin. Great to see youŽre up and in action again. Must have been a bit of a scare? Anyways ... good to see ya
I have 2 sets of their figures ... marching russians and russians at rest. Havent built either set yet. The sculpting looks quite good and the figures have fairly nice poses. Lots of flash though and an occasional short-shot. A bit more clean up than the average dragon kit.
The marching russians have the heavier quilted uniforms with a choice of 3 different head gear .. helmets, peaked hats or winter caps with the fold up ear warmers ..... hows this so far for technical names? The soldiers at rest have the lighter shirt.
Lots of the usual personal gear. Im sure the average builder can a make a decent job of them!

Thanks for the review page. Err Frank, just want to ask.. is the building is made from all vacumm-form plastic?? No 'ordinary' plastic??

The vacuuformed plastic is the same plastic that you are used to, from your building kits. So all your cements, tools and paints can be used as normal.

Hi Frank, thanks for the review. I have the Polish building ruin set myself, and I was very impressed with the packaging and all of the goodies that were included in the kit. I was a little surprised to see the building pieces were vacuformed, I've never done a vacuformed kit, but I like a challenge. I especially love the IM fret that comes with railings, doors and windows...it's about time those came in with other building sets from other companies. Instructions look clear and easy to follow, and a cool sheet of posters is included in this kit as well. Can't wait to use it down the road!
