I'd love to see Alpine do some head sets in a similar vain to Hornet (i.e non specific helmetless heads), the faces on their figures are always so full of character!

Krisztian Bodi sculpted them and the box art was painted by Man-Jin Kim. And if you think these are nice, check out Alpine's new 1/16 figure over at HF: link Mario

Thank you for adding that information Mario It had slipped my mind and it is now added to the story. The 1/16th scale figure release by Alpine is stunning and well worth a look.

Thank you for the kind words, guys! All credits should go to the painters and sculptors.

They don't make anymore modern figures. Bad because the only ones they have released were very good.

Thanks again, guys! These new figures are shipping out to dealers starting next Monday. Please make an inquiry to your local dealers soon as many of them have not placed orders for them yet. As for the modern figures, the investment to release new modern figure is too big for relatively a smaller return at the moment... or maybe my sculpting skill isn't good enough as my modern figures have not done well for me. I do have a plan to release modern head sets soon though.

I can assure you that isn't the case! I'm a modern fan and I have several sets of the figures you released. But i'm realistic and realise that there are a lot more WW2 armour fans out there and just as many figure painters who prefer that period. As a testament to your (and Alpine's other sculptors) skills I've even got a few of the WW2 figures, they are just too good not to paint!

Rob, Thanks for the support! Will try to come up with better figures next time.

Interesting figures; will have to take a look at them later though I've 'no plans for any SS tankers specifically.
