In a move sure to be welcomed by Military Modelers, Chris Mrosko (Formerly of Warriors Miniatures) has announced the launch of a new company New World Miniatures.
The ambitious release schedule for the new company (In no particular order) is as follows:
1. SdKfz. 251/17 Crew (Herman Goering Luftwaffe Ground Div.) tropical dress/camo smocks, 4 figure set
2. M-2/3 Halftrack crew (Standard 43/44 ETO combat dress) 3 sets of 3 figures total of 9 figs.
3. French Infantrymen (Early War) 2 figure set
4. M1130 Infantry Carrier Vehicle (ICV) Crew (wearing Army ACU uniform) 3 figure set
5. M1130 Stryker/ M-2/3 Bradley crew/Infantry (wearing Army ACU uniform) dismounting 3 figures running along side or exiting from rear on ramp
6. Israeli M-50/51 crew (2 full, 2 1/2 figures.)
7. U.S. Army Rangers, (Grenada, 1983) 2 figures, set#1
8. PT Boat crew, 3 Figures (John Rosengrant) set#1
9. Mideast T-55 tank crew, 2 full, 1-1/2 figure
10. British SAS crew for Willys MB jeep 3 figures
11. 8.8cm Flak crew, Wehrmacht (1943-45 mixed boots and uniforms,) 7-9 figures
12.British Para’s, Falklands 2 figures
13. German Late war Panzertruppen walking wounded 2 figures.
14. US Army, Negro Tank crew (761st Tank Battalion) 4 figures
15. Israeli Paratroopers, (Jerusalem 1967) 2-3 figures
16. Somali Habr-Gidr clansmen, (Mogadishu, 1993) 2-3 figures
17. British SAS/LRDG crew for 30cwt truck, 3 figures
18. British SAS Pink Panther crew, OMAN 1960’s, 2-3 figures
19. U.S. Rangers, Operation Restore Hope, (Mogadishu, 1993) 2-3 figures
20. U.S. Army Harley-Davidson WLA dispatch rider/M.P multiple heads
Chris says the new company’s purpose is to provide figure enthusiasts with very high quality figures of original subjects at reasonable prices. The plan is to produce resin figure kits in 1/35 scale, 54 mm and 1/16 scale. The company may eventually expand into other scales as need and opportunity arises.
New World Miniatures plan is to use the best sculptors and the finest casting techniques. Some of the sculptors involved are Jeff Meckley
(Think One Eighty Studios) and Brian Stewart (Jaguar etc). They also hope to have their first figure on the market soon; an original 1/16 scale figure by John Rosengrant of a WWII Marine in the Pacific on the corner of an M4A2 Sherman.
Chris says ”We do plan on a good number of WWI figures as well as WWII vehicle crews. If you are looking for a ton of SS figures from us you will be massively disappointed, I do believe that there are other subject matters that can be modeled, I am not saying that we won't be doing any SS figures because this is not the case. We just want to see more of the other type of figures; you know; the forgotten armies and soldiers of the world.”
Welcome news indeed.
