| THE KIT |
Alpine
Miniatures has a very good reputation amongst armor modelers and those who
like to build dioramas. The LHS sells a lot of them and once you have a
chance to see one close up you will understand why.
This particular figure is a panzer NCO and is molded standing up holding a folded document of some sort from the looks of it. Perhaps a map.
The kit contains a full torso with separate arms, a hand holding the map and a side arm. We are provided with optional heads, which is quite nice. There is a small mold seam running up the side of the heads and the rest of the pieces, but it is quite small and should be easily removable. No instructions are provided and none are needed on a figure this simple. The box artwork gives you a painting guide showing a completed figure by someone with a lot more skill than I!
| CONCLUSIONS |
For those into doing dioramas and looking for a pose that is not frequently provided by kit supplied figures, the Alpine Miniatures line is one you should seriously consider.
